Velocity the angular speed formula_27 and the magnitude of the displacement. such that Angular momentum in scalar form is the mass times the distance to the origin times the transverse velocity, or equivalently, the mass times the distance squared times the angular speed. The sign convention for angular momentum is the same as that for angular velocity. where The expression formula_33 is known as moment of inertia. If forces are in the radial direction only with an inverse square dependence, as in the case of a gravitational orbit, angular momentum is constant, and transverse speed is inversely proportional to the distance,
Jerk (physics) Jerk (physics) In physics, jerk is the rate of change of acceleration; that is, the time derivative of acceleration, and as such the second derivative of velocity, or the third time derivative of position. According to the result of dimensional analysis of jerk, [length/time], the SI units for its magnitude are m/s (or m⋅s); this can also be expressed in standard gravity per second ("g"/s). Jerk is a vector, and (as with "acceleration") there is no distinct term to denote its scalar magnitude (more precisely, its norm, as, e.g., there is "speed" for the norm of the velocity vector). Jerk
