... kicked, as in Figure 5.1c, it is both deformed and set in motion. These situations are all examples of a class of forces called contact forces. That is, they involve physical contact between two objects. Other examples of contact forces are the force exerted by gas molecules on the walls of a contai ...

The Laws of Motion Chapter 5
... Such a reference frame is called an inertial frame of reference. When the puck is on the air hockey table located on the ground, you are observing it from an inertial reference frame—there are no horizontal interactions of the puck with any other objects and you observe it to have zero acceleration ...

... and an amount. The amount is called its magnitude. The notation for the magnitude of a vector A is |A|, like the absolute value sign used with scalars. Often, as in example (b), we wish to use the vector notation to represent adding up all the x components to get a total x component, etc. The plus s ...

In classical mechanics, rotating and accelerating frames can be absolutely distinguished from non-accelerating or inertial frames, and according to classical mechanic ...

... net force is needed to keep it moving. In other words, an object acted on by no net force moves with constant velocity (which may be zero) and thus with zero acceleration. Everyday experience may seem to contradict this statement. Suppose you give a push to a hockey puck on a table, as shown in Figu ...

Chapter 22 Three Dimensional Rotations and Gyroscopes
... Most of the examples and applications we have considered concerned the rotation of rigid bodies about a fixed axis. However, there are many examples of rigid bodies that rotate about an axis that is changing its direction. A turning bicycle wheel, a gyroscope, the earth’s precession about its axis, ...
