Ask any engineer what the velocity of a point on a rigidbody is, and he will correctly say that it is the timerate of change of a linear position vector. Ask anyengineer what angular velocity is, and ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Aircraft A and B are flying on the same horizontal plane, each with a constant speed. Aircraft A is traveling on a straight path, whereas the path of B is circular. We are interested in understanding ...

One of the most basic structural aspects of relativistic spacetime is the description of how time and distances are altered by motion. The theory of special relativity describes a spacetime framework ...
