  2. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    The motion of a body in which it moves to and from about a definite point is also called oscillatory motion or vibratory motion. The time period is able to be calculated by T = 2 π l g {\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {l}{g}}}} where l is the distance from rotation to center of mass of object undergoing SHM and g being gravitational ...

  3. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    The motion is periodic, repeating itself in a sinusoidal fashion with constant amplitude A. In addition to its amplitude, the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is characterized by its period = /, the time for a single oscillation or its frequency = /, the number of cycles per unit time.

  4. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    The motion of a moving particle or object that conforms to a known or fixed curve. Such motion is studied with two coordinate systems: planar motion and cylindrical motion. cyclotron A type of particle accelerator in which charged particles accelerate outwards from the center along a spiral path.

  5. Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time

    Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. [1] [2] [3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the ...

    In particular, in the case that = we have for every x in X that () = and thus that Φ defines a monoid action of T on X. The function Φ( t , x ) is called the evolution function of the dynamical system: it associates to every point x in the set X a unique image, depending on the variable t , called the evolution parameter .

  7. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    The branch of physics describing the motion of objects without reference to their cause is called kinematics, while the branch studying forces and their effect on motion is called dynamics. If an object is not in motion relative to a given frame of reference, it is said to be at rest , motionless , immobile , stationary , or to have a constant ...

  8. Signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal

    Motion. The motion of an object can be considered to be a signal and can be monitored by various sensors to provide electrical signals. [16] For example, radar can provide an electromagnetic signal for following aircraft motion. A motion signal is one-dimensional (time), and the range is generally three-dimensional.

  9. Quasiperiodic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiperiodic_motion

    The quasiperiodic motion is characterized by a finite set of frequencies which can be thought of as the frequencies at which the motion goes around the torus in different directions. For instance, if the torus is the surface of a doughnut, then there is the frequency at which the motion goes around the doughnut and the frequency at which it ...
