  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Solving applications dealing with non-uniform circular motion involves force analysis. With a uniform circular motion, the only force acting upon an object traveling in a circle is the centripetal force. In a non-uniform circular motion, there are additional forces acting on the object due to a non-zero tangential acceleration.

  3. Newton's theorem of revolving orbits - Wikipedia

    In other words, the azimuthal angles of the two particles are related by the equation θ 2 (t) = k θ 1 (t). Newton showed that the motion of the second particle can be produced by adding an inverse-cube central force to whatever force F 1 (r) acts on the first particle [19]

  4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's cannonball is a thought experiment that interpolates between projectile motion and uniform circular motion. A cannonball that is lobbed weakly off the edge of a tall cliff will hit the ground in the same amount of time as if it were dropped from rest, because the force of gravity only affects the cannonball's momentum in the downward ...

  5. Circular orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_orbit

    A circular orbit is depicted in the top-left quadrant of this diagram, where the gravitational potential well of the central mass shows potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the orbital speed is shown in red. The height of the kinetic energy remains constant throughout the constant speed circular orbit.

  6. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    Per Barrow-Green, "[t]he problem is then to ascertain the motion of the third body." [4]: 11 That is to say, this two-body motion is taken to consist of circular orbits around the center of mass, and the planetoid is assumed to move in the plane defined by the circular orbits.

  7. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

    A woman’s lotto dreams came true — but also caused some issues with her boyfriend. The woman, 25, posted to Reddit anonymously to ask for advice about her recent victory. She wrote, “I ...

  9. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    These results agree with those above for nonuniform circular motion. See also the article on non-uniform circular motion. If this acceleration is multiplied by the particle mass, the leading term is the centripetal force and the negative of the second term related to angular acceleration is sometimes called the Euler force.
