What is Non-uniform circular motion

When a fan is switched ON or OFF, the speed of a particals of a fan go on increasing or decreasing for some time, however their directions are tangential to their circular trajectories. During this time, it is non-uniform circular motion. Rohan Gajbhiye (talk) 02:04, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the Physics Textbook link

It seems that this thing was a dream. There is a | wikiversity.org School:Physics_and_Astronomy. Maybe that should be linked instead? Or not, but the dead link does no one good. Johnjbarton (talk) 00:58, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the "/Tabs" template, which takes the non-existent textbook out. It also removes a link to Portal:Physics/WikiProjects and things to do which is very repetitive. Johnjbarton (talk) 19:21, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Engineered materials arrestor system

Hello, I ask you, to take a look to this discussion in German Wiki. The problem ist this sentence: „The aircraft is slowed by the loss of energy required to crush the EMAS material.“ The translation into German means something like: „The loss of Energy is needed to crush the EMAS material.“ But maybe it means the right in English. The same mistake exists also in Wiki:nl and Wiki:pt. I‘m sorry, because my English is not so good. Thanks for help and correcting if it’s necessary. LegoFCB (talk) 20:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LegoFCB I rewrote it as

As the aircraft crushes the EMAS material, it loses energy and slows down.

(Generally it is best to ask on the Talk page for the article first (Talk:Engineered materials arrestor system) or on WT:Physics otherwise. This Talk page is just about the Portal page.)

I don't know what the translation would be but maybe this version is easier. Johnjbarton (talk) 20:47, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Johnjbarton, thanks for briefing me and that you changed the description in the article. I think, your sentence is much better as the old version. Have a good time. LegoFCB (talk) 01:06, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
