... As we have stated, the principles of work and energy need to be mastered in order to solve this type of problem. We begin by defining work. In everyday use, work is usually thought of as effort expended by a body, you, on homework, or on a job. In physics, we define work W as force F times the d ...

Rotational Motion
... These collective motions are of two types: coherent and incoherent. Coherent motions are those overall rotations or vibrations that occur within a solid in which the constituent particles making up the object interact with each other in a coordinated fashion. If the solid is rigid (with all the inte ...

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.
