From Physics - Dynamics - Combined Linear and
Rotational quantities: "I think something is wrong with the
sign since J should produce a greater velocity change if there is
both linear and rotational motion, I assume its something to do
with the direction chosen for positive rotation." |

Thanks very much for this. |

Oops, A small correction to my last message, the
site actually standardises on right hand coordinates and right
hand screw rule (as does VRML/X3D and OpenGL), but I don't think
that affects the issues discussed. |

Sorry, my brain cant be working today! Having
worked it out again, if both coordinates and rotations use right
hand rule then the rotation will be anticlockwise - which is what
you said in the first place! |

Book Shop - Further reading. Where I can, I have put links to Amazon for books that are relevant to the subject, click on the appropriate country flag to get more details of the book or to buy it from them. |
Game Physics - This book has some useful stuff, its more of a textbook, not a step by step guide (although it does have a disc with a lot of C++ code). About the first third of the book is a physics textbook with theoretical exercises, the middle bit covers physics engine topics, and the last third of the book covers mathematical topics. I think I would use this book as a reference book to lookup the theory behind something I might be working on rather than a book to work through in order. |
Commercial Software Shop Where I can, I have put links to Amazon for commercial software, not directly related to the software project, but related to the subject being discussed, click on the appropriate country flag to get more details of the software or to buy it from them. |
