2 What measures the curl in a velocity field?

2.1 Front

What measures the curl in a velocity field?

2.2 Back

Curl measures (2x) angular velocity of rotational component of a velocity field

3 What measure the curl in a force field?

3.1 Front

What measure the curl in a force field?

3.2 Back

Torque exerted on a test object on each point

4 How can we parametrize the circular movement with constant angular velocity \(\omega\)

4.1 Front

How can we parametrize the circular movement with constant angular velocity \(\omega\)

No radial velocity (position vector of a circle)

4.2 Back

How can we parametrize the circular movement with constant angular velocity \(\omega\)

  • \(r = r_0\)
  • \(\theta = \theta_0 + \omega t\)

In polar coordinates: \((x(t), y(t)) = (r_0 \cos (\theta_0 + \omega t), r_0 \sin(\theta_0 + \omega t))\)
