Talk:List of equations in classical mechanics

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.

Isnt it customary to use "r" for the position vector?

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

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)

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 m_A, the initial velocity of A u_A and the final velocity of A v_A. Just seems to be a lot clearer than using v_{0 A} to me.

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)
