  2. Classical central-force problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_central-force...

    A central force is a force (possibly negative) that points from the particle directly towards a fixed point in space, the center, and whose magnitude only depends on the distance of the object to the center. In a few important cases, the problem can be solved analytically, i.e., in terms of well-studied functions such as trigonometric functions.

  3. Magnitude (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitude_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind. More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering (or ranking) of the class of objects to which it belongs.

  4. Vector algebra relations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_algebra_relations

    The following are important identities in vector algebra.Identities that only involve the magnitude of a vector ‖ ‖ and the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors A·B, apply to vectors in any dimension, while identities that use the cross product (vector product) A×B only apply in three dimensions, since the cross product is only defined there.

  5. Unit vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_vector

    In mathematics, a unit vector in a normed vector space is a vector (often a spatial vector) of length 1. A unit vector is often denoted by a lowercase letter with a circumflex, or "hat", as in ^ (pronounced "v-hat").

    where (,) is the Kronecker delta.. The summation is performed over those integer values k for which the argument of each factorial in the denominator is non-negative, i.e. summation limits K and N are taken equal: the lower one = (,, +), the upper one = (+,, +).

    This article is a progressive and labeled list of the SI electric charge orders of magnitude, with certain examples appended to some list objects.
