  2. Peter Riegel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Riegel

    is the distance over which the initial time is achieved D 2 {\displaystyle D_{2}} is the distance for which the time is to be predicted Riegel expanded on his thesis in a 1981 article for American Scientist , stating that the formula t = a x b {\displaystyle t=ax^{b}} concerns activities in the "endurance range", namely lasting between 3.5 and ...

  3. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances.

  4. Sagitta (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagitta_(geometry)

    In the following equations, denotes the sagitta (the depth or height of the arc), equals the radius of the circle, and the length of the chord spanning the base of the arc. As 1 2 l {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{2}}l} and r − s {\displaystyle r-s} are two sides of a right triangle with r {\displaystyle r} as the hypotenuse , the Pythagorean ...

  5. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    Equivalently, in polar coordinates (r, θ) it can be described by the equation = with real number b. Changing the parameter b controls the distance between loops. From the above equation, it can thus be stated: position of the particle from point of start is proportional to angle θ as time elapses.

  6. Viviani's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viviani's_theorem

    For any interior point P, the sum of the lengths of the perpendiculars s + t + u equals the height of the equilateral triangle.. Viviani's theorem, named after Vincenzo Viviani, states that the sum of the shortest distances from any interior point to the sides of an equilateral triangle equals the length of the triangle's altitude. [1]

    Use equation 7 to generate the four constants ,,, from measured distances and time for each receiver . This will be a set of n − 1 {\displaystyle n-1} inhomogeneous linear equations. There are many robust linear algebra methods that can solve for ( x , y , z ) {\displaystyle (x,y,z)} , such as Gaussian elimination .

  8. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    We are interested in the time when the projectile returns to the same height it originated. Let t g be any time when the height of the projectile is equal to its initial value. 0 = v t sin ⁡ θ − 1 2 g t 2 {\displaystyle 0=vt\sin \theta -{\frac {1}{2}}gt^{2}}

  9. Distance geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_geometry

    Distance geometry is the branch of mathematics concerned with characterizing and studying sets of points based only on given values of the distances between pairs of points. [1] [2] [3] More abstractly, it is the study of semimetric spaces and the isometric transformations between them.
