... Recall that the centripetal acceleration of the stone is v2/r, and if the speed is constant, then so is the centripetal acceleration. How can it be that the centripetal acceleration, which points towards the centre of the circle, is constant even though the direction of the weight force, which is do ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
