Angular Velocity
In physics, angular velocity (symbol or \vec, the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as the angular frequency vector,(UP1) is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction. The magnitude of the pseudovector, \omega=\, \boldsymbol\, , represents the '' angular speed'' (or ''angular frequency''), the angular rate at which the object rotates (spins or revolves). The pseudovector direction \hat\boldsymbol=\boldsymbol/\omega is normal to the instantaneous plane of rotation or angular displacement. There are two types of angular velocity: * Orbital angular velocity refers to how fast a point object revolves about a fixed origin, i.e. the time rate of change of its angular position relative to the origin. * Spin angular velocity refers to how fast a rigid body rotates around a f ...

Distance
Distance is a numerical or occasionally qualitative measurement of how far apart objects, points, people, or ideas are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over"). The term is also frequently used metaphorically to mean a measurement of the amount of difference between two similar objects (such as statistical distance between probability distributions or edit distance between string (computer science), strings of text) or a degree of separation (as exemplified by distance (graph theory), distance between people in a social network). Most such notions of distance, both physical and metaphorical, are formalized in mathematics using the notion of a metric space. In the social sciences, distance can refer to a qualitative measurement of separation, such as social distance or psychological distance. Distances in physics and geometry The distance between physical locations can be defined ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geosynchronous Orbit
A geosynchronous orbit (sometimes abbreviated GSO) is an Earth-centered orbit with an orbital period that matches Earth's rotation on its axis, 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds (one sidereal day). The synchronization of rotation and orbital period means that, for an observer on Earth's surface, an object in geosynchronous orbit returns to exactly the same position in the sky after a period of one sidereal day. Over the course of a day, the object's position in the sky may remain still or trace out a path, typically in a figure-8 form, whose precise characteristics depend on the orbit's inclination and eccentricity. A circular geosynchronous orbit has a constant altitude of . A special case of geosynchronous orbit is the geostationary orbit (often abbreviated ''GEO''), which is a circular geosynchronous orbit in Earth's equatorial plane with both inclination and eccentricity equal to 0. A satellite in a geostationary orbit remains in the same position in the sky to observers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Upper Saddle River
Upper Saddle River is a borough in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 8,353, an increase of 145 (+1.8%) from the 2010 census count of 8,208, which in turn reflected an increase of 467 (+6.0%) from the 7,741 counted in the 2000 census. Upper Saddle River had a per capita income of $73,639 and was ranked 20th in New Jersey based on data from the 2006–2010 American Community Survey (ACS) from the United States Census Bureau, more than double the statewide average of $34,858. In the 2013–2017 ACS, Upper Saddle River had a median household income of $176,674 (ranked 8th in the state) and included 42.9% of households earning more than $200,000 annually. History Upper Saddle River was originally settled by the Lenape Native Americans and was colonized in the 18th century principally by Dutch settlers who built mills along the Saddle River. The area was granted borough status in 1894 and remained pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Opposite Direction (geometry)
In geometry, direction, also known as spatial direction or vector direction, is the common characteristic of all rays which coincide when translated to share a common endpoint; equivalently, it is the common characteristic of vectors (such as the relative position between a pair of points) which can be made equal by scaling (by some positive scalar multiplier). Two vectors sharing the same direction are said to be ''codirectional'' or ''equidirectional''. All co directional line segments sharing the same size (length) are said to be '' equipollent''. Two equipollent segments are not necessarily coincident; for example, a given direction can be evaluated at different starting positions, defining different unit directed line segments (as a bound vector instead of a free vector). A direction is often represented as a unit vector, the result of dividing a vector by its length. A direction can alternately be represented by a point on a circle or sphere, the intersection b ...

Negation (arithmetic)
In mathematics, the additive inverse of an element , denoted , is the element that when added to , yields the additive identity, 0, 0 (zero). In the most familiar cases, this is the number 0, but it can also refer to a more generalized zero element. In elementary mathematics, the additive inverse is often referred to as the opposite number, or its negative. The unary operation of arithmetic negation is closely related to ''subtraction'' and is important in Elementary algebra, solving algebraic equations. Not all Set (mathematics), sets where addition is defined have an additive inverse, such as the Natural number, natural numbers. Common examples When working with integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers, the additive inverse of any number can be found by multiplying it by −1. The concept can also be extended to algebraic expressions, which is often used when balancing equations. Relation to subtraction The additive inverse is closely related to s ...

Clockwise
Two-dimensional rotation can occur in two possible directions or senses of rotation. Clockwise motion (abbreviated CW) proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands relative to the observer: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English) anticlockwise (ACW) or (in North American English) counterclockwise (CCW). Three-dimensional rotation can have similarly defined senses when considering the corresponding angular velocity vector. Terminology Before clocks were commonplace, the terms " sunwise" and "deasil", "deiseil" and even "deocil" from the Scottish Gaelic language and from the same root as the Latin "dexter" ("right") were used for clockwise. " Widdershins" or "withershins" (from Middle Low German "weddersinnes", "opposite course") was used for counterclockwise. The terms clockwise and counterclockwise can only be applied to a rotational motion once a side ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Right-hand Rule
In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a Convention (norm), convention and a mnemonic, utilized to define the orientation (vector space), orientation of Cartesian coordinate system, axes in three-dimensional space and to determine the direction of the cross product of two Euclidean vector, vectors, as well as to establish the direction of the force on a Electric current, current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. The various right- and left-hand rules arise from the fact that the three axes of three-dimensional space have two possible orientations. This can be seen by holding your hands together with palms up and fingers curled. If the curl of the fingers represents a movement from the first or x-axis to the second or y-axis, then the third or z-axis can point along either right thumb or left thumb. History The right-hand rule dates back to the 19th century when it was implemented as a way for identifying the positive direction of coordinate axes in three dime ...

Hertz
The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), often described as being equivalent to one event (or Cycle per second, cycle) per second. The hertz is an SI derived unit whose formal expression in terms of SI base units is 1/s or s−1, meaning that one hertz is one per second or the Inverse second, reciprocal of one second. It is used only in the case of periodic events. It is named after Heinrich Hertz, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857–1894), the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves. For high frequencies, the unit is commonly expressed in metric prefix, multiples: kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz), gigahertz (GHz), terahertz (THz). Some of the unit's most common uses are in the description of periodic waveforms and musical tones, particularly those used in radio- and audio-related applications. It is also used to describe the clock speeds at which computers and other electronics are driven. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reciprocal Seconds
The inverse second or reciprocal second (s−1), also called ''per second'', is a unit defined as the multiplicative inverse of the second (a unit of time). It is applicable for physical quantities of dimension reciprocal time, such as frequency and strain rate. It is dimensionally equivalent to: * hertz (Hz), historically known as cycles per second – the SI unit for frequency and rotational frequency * becquerel (Bq) – the SI unit for the rate of occurrence of aperiodic or stochastic radionuclide events * baud (Bd) – the unit for symbol rate over a communication link * bit per second (bit/s) – the unit of bit rate However, the special names and symbols above for s−1 are recommend for clarity. Reciprocal second should not be confused with radian per second (rad⋅s−1), the SI unit for angular frequency and angular velocity. As the radian is a dimensionless unit, radian per second is dimensionally consistent with reciprocal second. However, they are used for differe ...

Dimensionless Quantity
Dimensionless quantities, or quantities of dimension one, are quantities implicitly defined in a manner that prevents their aggregation into unit of measurement, units of measurement. ISBN 978-92-822-2272-0. Typically expressed as ratios that align with another system, these quantities do not necessitate explicitly defined Unit of measurement, units. For instance, alcohol by volume (ABV) represents a volumetric ratio; its value remains independent of the specific Unit of volume, units of volume used, such as in milliliters per milliliter (mL/mL). The 1, number one is recognized as a dimensionless Base unit of measurement, base quantity. Radians serve as dimensionless units for Angle, angular measurements, derived from the universal ratio of 2π times the radius of a circle being equal to its circumference. Dimensionless quantities play a crucial role serving as parameters in differential equations in various technical disciplines. In calculus, concepts like the unitless ratios ...

Radian
The radian, denoted by the symbol rad, is the unit of angle in the International System of Units (SI) and is the standard unit of angular measure used in many areas of mathematics. It is defined such that one radian is the angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an Circular arc, arc that is equal in length to the radius. The unit was formerly an SI supplementary unit and is currently a dimensionless unit, dimensionless SI derived unit,: "The CGPM decided to interpret the supplementary units in the SI, namely the radian and the steradian, as dimensionless derived units." defined in the SI as 1 rad = 1 and expressed in terms of the SI base unit metre (m) as . Angles without explicitly specified units are generally assumed to be measured in radians, especially in mathematical writing. Definition One radian is defined as the angle at the center of a circle in a plane that wikt:subtend, subtends an arc whose length equals the radius of the circle. More generally, the magnit ...
