  2. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the mass maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the object when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest. [2] The SI unit of kinetic energy is the joule, while the English unit of kinetic energy is the foot-pound.

  3. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    Physically, the turbulence kinetic energy is characterized by measured root-mean-square (RMS) velocity fluctuations. In the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes equations, the turbulence kinetic energy can be calculated based on the closure method, i.e. a turbulence model.

  4. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    For photons, this is the relation, discovered in 19th century classical electromagnetism, between radiant momentum (causing radiation pressure) and radiant energy. If the body's speed v is much less than c, then reduces to E = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ m 0 v 2 + m 0 c 2; that is, the body's total energy is simply its classical kinetic energy (⁠ 1 / 2 ...

  5. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Because speed is constant, the velocity vectors on the right sweep out a circle as time advances. For a swept angle dθ = ω dt the change in v is a vector at right angles to v and of magnitude v dθ , which in turn means that the magnitude of the acceleration is given by a c = v d θ d t = v ω = v 2 r {\displaystyle a_{c}=v{\frac {d\theta ...

  6. Rotational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

    An example is the calculation of the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth. As the Earth has a sidereal rotation period of 23.93 hours, it has an angular velocity of 7.29 × 10 −5 rad·s −1. [2] The Earth has a moment of inertia, I = 8.04 × 10 37 kg·m 2. [3] Therefore, it has a rotational kinetic energy of 2.14 × 10 29 J.

  7. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    The speed ratio = between outgoing and incoming wind implies that the outgoing air has only () = the kinetic energy of the incoming air, and that of the energy of the incoming air was extracted. This is a correct calculation, but it only considers the incoming air which eventually travels through the rotor.

  8. Mechanical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_energy

    [nb 2] [8] It is defined as one half the product of the object's mass with the square of its speed, and the total kinetic energy of a system of objects is the sum of the kinetic energies of the respective objects: [1] [9]

  9. König's theorem (kinetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/König's_theorem_(kinetics)

    The second part expresses the kinetic energy of a system of particles in terms of the velocities of the individual particles and the centre of mass.. Specifically, it states that the kinetic energy of a system of particles is the sum of the kinetic energy associated to the movement of the center of mass and the kinetic energy associated to the movement of the particles relative to the center ...
