I love using seemingly random data to figure out stuff I wouldn't otherwise know. You can do this with all kinds of things, but in this example, I use video that I recorded from an airplane to figure ...

Ask any engineer what the velocity of a point on a rigidbody is, and he will correctly say that it is the timerate of change of a linear position vector. Ask anyengineer what angular velocity is, and ...

A study introduces Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) gyroscopes, revolutionizing the measurement of angular velocity and acceleration. This innovation promises to transform aerospace, ...

If the angular velocity of a link in a mechanism is zero, does this imply that the angular acceleration of that link is also zero? The short answer to that question is NO. If ω(t) represents the ...

Cross-flow turbines, also known as vertical-axis turbines, are attractive for power generation from wind and water currents. Some cross-flow turbine designs optimize unsteady fluid forces and maximize ...

In the ideal scenario of a bicycle wheel on a frictionless axle, there is no external torque acting on the wheel once it is set in motion. This is why it continues to spin at a constant angular ...

Many people don't know too much about angular momentum—and that's fine. But what about figure skaters? Whether they understand the concept of angular momentum doesn't matter but they use it in one of ...
