Talk:List of equations in classical mechanics

Untitled
I think a list of equations and formulae is a great idea, especially for the casual student looking for a simple formula while doing homework, studying, etc. Should this idea be expanded to include electrodynamics, maybe statistical mechanics, or other fields of physics in order to have a quick, centralized location for them? If so, where should the new equations go? GLeuty 15:20, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

There's probably something on wikibooks for that.

Why are we using "s" for position vector?
Isnt it customary to use "r" for the position vector?

Right. GLeuty 22:29, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

context
These formulas mean very little with the lack of context provided. A lot has to be inferred which is not explicitly stated. At least every formula should point to an article in which it is used or provide a small explanantion here. --MarSch 12:15, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

u for initial velocity, v for final velocity
isn't it easier to use u for initial velocity rather than v0. For example, when dealing with momentum problems for an object A, I would call the mass of A mA, the initial velocity of A uA and the final velocity of A vA. Just seems to be a lot clearer than using v0 A to me.

Merge with Linear-rotational analogs
If this article is refactored into a table format simalar to Linear-rotational analogs, that article will be redundant becuase this article has more explainations of formulae and notation. I plan to do that soon. z = z²  + c 11:27, 18 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Done (thought I would just do it - not sure if anyone would be so desperate to keep lousy Linear-rotational analogs...). z = z²  + c 13:22, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
