In a central force system the apsidal angle is the angle at the centre of force between two consecutive apsis and measures the precession rate of the line of apsis. The apsidal angle has applications in different fields and the Newton's…
This paper concerns the behaviour of the apsidal angle for orbits of central force system with homogenous potential of degree $-2\leq \alpha\leq 1$ and logarithmic potential. We derive a formula for the apsidal angle as a fixed-end points…
We derive an expression for the determination of the apsidal angles that holds good for arbitrary central potentials. Then we discuss under what conditions the apsidal angles remain independent of the mechanical energy and angular momentum…
The nature of boundedness of orbits of a particle moving in a central force field is investigated. General conditions for circular orbits and their stability are discussed. In a bounded central field orbit, a particle moves clockwise or…
Several locomotion strategies are based on the anisotropic nature of the forces experienced by the moving body with its environment. We report experiments on the anisotropy of the frictional force experienced by a cylinder moving in a…
We consider the motion of a harmonically trapped overdamped particle, which is submitted to a self-phoretic force, that is proportional to the gradient of a diffusive field for which the particle itself is the source. In agreement with…
The rosette-shaped motion of a particle in a central force field is known to be classically solvable by quadratures. We present a new approach of describing and characterizing such motion based on the eccentricity vector of the two body…
We show that in a system of two planets initially in nearly circular orbits, an impulse perturbation that imparts a finite eccentricity to one planet's orbit causes the other planet's orbit to become eccentric as well, and also naturally…
We consider the motion of a particle in a random isotropic force field. Assuming that the force field arises from a Poisson field in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \geq 4$, and the initial velocity of the particle is sufficiently large, we describe the…
Starting from a covariant cycle-averaged Lagrangian the relativistic oscillation center equation of motion of a point charge is deduced and analytical formulae for the ponderomotive force in a travelling wave of arbitrary strength are…
Consider the motion of a material point of unit mass in a central field determined by a homogeneous potential of the form $(-1/r^{\alpha})$, $\alpha>0,$ where $r$ being the distance to the centre of the field. Due to the singularity at…
A useful crude approximation for Abelian functions is developed and applied to orbits. The bound orbits in the power-law potentials A*r^{-alpha} take the simple form (l/r)^k = 1 + e cos(m*phi), where k = 2 - alpha > 0 and 'l' and 'e' are…
Synergies between self-force theory and other approaches to the gravitational two-body problem have traditionally relied on calculations of gauge-invariant observables as functions of orbital frequencies. However, in self-force theory one…
In Book 1, Proposition 7, Problem 2 of his 1687 Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Isaac Newton poses and answers the following question: Let the orbit of a particle moving in a central force field be an off-center circle. How…
We study the energy flow between a one dimensional oscillator and a chaotic system with two degrees of freedom in the weak coupling limit. The oscillator's observables are averaged over an initially microcanonical ensemble of trajectories…
We consider a particle on the horizontal plane with a dry friction. The friction is anisotropic but symmetric under the group of rotations of the plane. It turns out that the particle can move such that in the finite time the trajectory…
We analyze the frictionless motion of a point-like particle that slides under gravity on an inverted conical surface. This motion is studied for arbitrary initial conditions and a general relation, valid within 13%, between the periods of…
The expression of a time-dependent cosmological constant $\lambda \propto 1/t^2$ is interpreted as the energy density of a special type of the quaternionic field. The Lorenz-like force acting on the moving body in the presence of this…
I calculate the classical effects induced by an isotropic mass loss of a body on the orbital motion of a test particle around it; the present analysis is also valid for a variation of the Newtonian constant of gravitation. I perturbatively…
A minimal model for mechanical motion of the left ventricle is proposed. The model assumes the left ventricle to be a harmonic oscillator with two distinct phases, simulating the systolic and diastolic phases, at which both the amplitude…
