  2. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    v. 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 ...

  3. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    Simple harmonic motion can be considered the one-dimensional projection of uniform circular motion. If an object moves with angular speed ω around a circle of radius r centered at the origin of the xy -plane, then its motion along each coordinate is simple harmonic motion with amplitude r and angular frequency ω .

  4. Rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation

    Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as axis of rotation. A plane figure can rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise sense around a perpendicular axis intersecting anywhere inside or outside the figure at a center of rotation. A solid figure has an infinite number of possible ...

  5. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws, which provide the basis for Newtonian mechanics, can be paraphrased as follows: A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, except insofar as it is acted upon by ...

  6. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position , which varies with (time). An example of linear motion is an athlete running a 100-meter dash along a straight track. [2] Linear motion is the most basic of all motion. According to Newton's first law of motion, objects that do not experience any net ...

  7. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    In physics, equations of motion are equations that describe the behavior of a physical system in terms of its motion as a function of time. [1] More specifically, the equations of motion describe the behavior of a physical system as a set of mathematical functions in terms of dynamic variables.

  8. Circular orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_orbit

    A circular orbit is an orbit with a fixed distance around the barycenter; that is, in the shape of a circle . In this case, not only the distance, but also the speed, angular speed, potential and kinetic energy are constant.

  9. Circular economy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_economy

    The circular economy is a framework of three principles, driven by design: eliminating waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. [8] It is based increasingly on renewable energy and materials, and it is accelerated by digital innovation.
