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,
Mass flow rate ejecting spent fuel. Often, descriptions of such objects erroneously invoke Newton's second law F =d("m"v)/d"t" by treating both the mass "m" and the velocity v as time-dependent and then applying the derivative product rule. A correct description of such an object requires the application of Newton's second law to the entire, constant-mass system consisting of both the object and its ejected mass. In hydrodynamics, mass flow rate is the rate of flow of mass. In electricity, the rate of flow of charge is electric current. Mass flow rate In physics and engineering, mass flow rate is the mass of a
