If it is at an angle, only part of the force does the work – the part of the force that is in the same direction as the motion. For our purposes, we always had the force and motion in the same direction which is a zero de ...

We will use this fact and return to those problems and show that taking into account energy conservation greatly simplifies their solution. Let’s suppose that the constant force field has the following form: F = Ai + Bj + Ck ...

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.
