With an initial speed greater than escape speed, the orbit is a hyperbola (similar shape); the cannonball keeps going indefinitely; never comes to rest. This is what it means to escape Earth’s gravity. Actua ...

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.
