specific angular momentum
1Angular momentum — For a generally accessible and less technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to angular momentum. Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
2Specific relative angular momentum — In astrodynamics, the specific relative angular momentum of an orbiting body with respect to a central body is the relative angular momentum of the first body per unit mass. Specific relative angular momentum plays a pivotal role in definition of …
3Angular momentum coupling — Coupling in science Classical coupling Rotational–vibrational coupling Quantum coupling Quantum mechanical coupling Rovibrational coupling Vibronic coupling Rovibronic coupling Angular momentum coupling …
4Relative angular momentum — In astrodynamics, the relative angular momentum (mathbf{H 2}/{1},!) of an orbiting body (m 2,!) relative to a central body (m 1,!) is the moment of (m 2,!) s relative linear momentum::mathbf{H 2}/{1}=mathbf{r} imes m 2mathbf{v},!where: *mathbf{r} …
5Specific orbital energy — In the gravitational two body problem, the specific orbital energy (or vis viva energy) of two orbiting bodies is the constant sum of their mutual potential energy ( ) and their total kinetic energy ( ), divided by the reduced mass. According to… …
6Momentum exchange tether — Momentum Exchange Tethers is one of many applications for space tethers. This sub set represents an entire area of research using a spinning conductive and/or non conductive tether to throw spacecraft up or down in orbit (like a sling), thereby… …
7Specific heat capacity — Specific heat capacity, also known simply as specific heat, is the measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by a certain temperature interval. The term originated primarily through the work …
8Classical central-force problem — In classical mechanics, the central force problem is to determine the motion of a particle under the influence of a single central force. A central force is a force that points from the particle directly towards (or directly away from) a fixed… …
9Orbital mechanics — A satellite orbiting the earth has a tangential velocity and an inward acceleration. Orbital mechanics or astrodynamics is the application of ballistics and celestial mechanics to the practical problems concerning the motion of rockets and other… …
10Magnetic braking — The magnetic field lines rotates together with the Sun as a solid object. Ionized material carried along the field lines will at some point rc escape the magnetic field lines and thus take away the Sun s angular momentum Magnetic braking is a… …
