  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    t. e. In physics, circular motion is a movement of an object along the circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular arc. It can be uniform, with a constant rate of rotation and constant tangential speed, or non-uniform with a changing rate of rotation. The rotation around a fixed axis of a three-dimensional body involves the circular ...

  3. Vibrations of a circular membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrations_of_a_circular...

    The properties of an idealized drumhead can be modeled by the vibrations of a circular membrane of uniform thickness, attached to a rigid frame. Due to the phenomenon of resonance, at certain vibration frequencies, its resonant frequencies, the membrane can store vibrational energy, the surface moving in a characteristic pattern of standing waves.

  4. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    e. In mechanics and physics, simple harmonic motion (sometimes abbreviated SHM) is a special type of periodic motion an object experiences due to a restoring force whose magnitude is directly proportional to the distance of the object from an equilibrium position and acts towards the equilibrium position. It results in an oscillation that is ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Binet equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binet_equation

    Off-axis circular motion. Although the Binet equation fails to give a unique force law for circular motion about the center of force, the equation can provide a force law when the circle's center and the center of force do not coincide. Consider for example a circular orbit that passes directly through the center of force.

  7. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    An animation of the figure-8 solution to the three-body problem over a single period T ≃ 6.3259 20 examples of periodic solutions to the three-body problem. In the 1970s, Michel Hénon and Roger A. Broucke each found a set of solutions that form part of the same family of solutions: the Broucke–Hénon–Hadjidemetriou family. In this family ...

  8. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    A particular solution can be obtained by setting the initial values, which fixes the values of the constants. To state this formally, in general an equation of motion M is a function of the position r of the object, its velocity (the first time derivative of r, v = dr / dt), and its acceleration (the second derivative of r, a = d 2 r / dt 2 ...

    This is the simplest solution. Second solution The circles before and after rolling one revolution, showing the motions of the center, Pb, and Ps, with Pb and Ps starting and ending at the top of their circles. The green dash line is the center's motion. The blue dash curve shows Pb 's motion. The red dash curve shows Ps 's motion.
