... Figure 4: A disk is rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface. We can use three pivots for instance: A, C and CM. Let us note that the contact point C is usually considered like a point “momentarily at rest”, because there is no relative motion between disk and horizontal surface. In this man ...

... vf is the final speed. We can call vf simply v. Fd = mv2/2 So kinetic energy = mv2/2. This is a nice equation, because acceleration is taken out of it - all you need to know is an object's mass and velocity.

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.
