  2. Roundness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness

    Roundness is dominated by the shape's gross features rather than the definition of its edges and corners, or the surface roughness of a manufactured object. A smooth ellipse can have low roundness, if its eccentricity is large. Regular polygons increase their roundness with increasing numbers of sides, even though they are still sharp-edged.

  3. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The equations of motion describe the movement of the center of mass of a body, which remains at a constant distance from the axis of rotation. In circular motion, the distance between the body and a fixed point on its surface remains the same, i.e., the body is assumed rigid.

  4. Concentric objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_objects

    The ripples formed by dropping a small object into still water naturally form an expanding system of concentric circles. [9] Evenly spaced circles on the targets used in target archery [10] or similar sports provide another familiar example of concentric circles.

    Eccentric, concentric, and isometric phases are all distinct parts of most exercises you do in your workouts. Here's what they mean and how to use them.

  6. Motion (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_(geometry)

    The context was thus expanded, so much that "In topology, the allowed movements are continuous invertible deformations that might be called elastic motions." [10] The science of kinematics is dedicated to rendering physical motion into expression as mathematical transformation. Frequently the transformation can be written using vector algebra ...

  7. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Humans, like all known things in the universe, are in constant motion; [2]: 8–9 however, aside from obvious movements of the various external body parts and locomotion, humans are in motion in a variety of ways that are more difficult to perceive. Many of these "imperceptible motions" are only perceivable with the help of special tools and ...

    Body roundness index takes into account a person's height and waist circumference to determine whether they are in a healthy or unhealthy sphere, according to Maya Feller, a registered dietitian ...

  9. Sphericity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphericity

    Defined by Wadell in 1935, [1] the sphericity, , of an object is the ratio of the surface area of a sphere with the same volume to the object's surface area: = where is volume of the object and is the surface area.
