... Work might also be done on an object to raise it to a higher height. In this case, the work done is the force opposing gravity times the distance it rises. We can get this energy back by releasing the object and allowing it to fall. Try it once right now. The amount of energy an object has because o ...

Circular Motion Problem Solving
... Note that "Centripetal force" is just a fancy name for the radial component of the net force. It is not a new kind of force and is NOT drawn on force diagrams. A net force could have both tangential and radial components; the component tangential to the direction of motion causes the object to speed ...

... After you pick up a spare, your bowling ball rolls without slipping back toward the ball rack with a linear speed of 2.85 m/s. To reach the rack, the ball rolls up a ramp that rises through a vertical distance of 0.53 m. (a) What is the linear speed of the ball when it reaches the top of the ramp? ...

... The force exerted on an object is the mass of an object times the acceleration of the object: F = ma, where m is the mass in kg, and F is in kg m/s2 = N ewton. force due to gravity at the surface of the earth: Fg = mg downward, where g = 9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of ...

... Work is defined as the force on an object in the direction of an object’s motion multiplied by the idstance the object moves. Or: W=(F)(d). If the force is at an angle to the object’s motion, only the component of the force that is parallel to the object’s motion is used to determine the work on the ...

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.
