Term
Satellite's orbital speed |
|
Definition
the tangential speed of a satellite during it's orbital motion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
a vector physical quantity thatt characterizes the tendency of force acting on a rigid object to totate this object around a pivot or an axis fo rotation. ( the magnitude of torque equals a product of force times a lever arm |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the shortest distance between a pivot and a line of action of the force. IT's equal to the length fo a perpenrdicualr dropped form a pivot on the line of action of the force. |
