In celestial mechanics, apsidal precession is the precession (gradual rotation) of the line connecting the apsides (line of apsides) of an astronomical ... more

Altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to a line containing the base (the opposite side of the triangle). This line ... more

A Reuleaux triangle is a curve of constant width,( the separation of two parallel lines tangent to the curve is independent of their orientation), based ... more

Momentum is a measure of an object tendency to move in a straight line with constant speed. Linear momentum or translational momentum is the product of ... more

Inductance per length and capacitance per length are related to each other in the special case of “transmission lines” consisting of two ... more

A cylinder is a geometric shape, that its surface is forming by the points at a fixed distance from a given line segment, the axis of the cylinder. The ... more
