  2. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

  3. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    Stationary sound source produces sound waves at a constant frequency f, and the wave-fronts propagate symmetrically away from the source at a constant speed c. The distance between wave-fronts is the wavelength. All observers will hear the same frequency, which will be equal to the actual frequency of the source where f = f 0.

  4. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    Its reduction with increasing frequency, as the ratio of skin depth to the wire's radius falls below about 1, is plotted in the accompanying graph, and accounts for the reduction in the telephone cable inductance with increasing frequency in the table below. The internal component of a round wire's inductance vs. the ratio of skin depth to radius.

  5. Fundamental diagram of traffic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_diagram_of...

    The speed-density relationship is linear with a negative slope; therefore, as the density increases the speed of the roadway decreases. The line crosses the speed axis, y, at the free flow speed, and the line crosses the density axis, x, at the jam density. Here the speed approaches free flow speed as the density approaches zero.

  6. Wave shoaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_shoaling

    The phase velocity c p (blue) and group velocity c g (red) as a function of water depth h for surface gravity waves of constant frequency, according to Airy wave theory. Quantities have been made dimensionless using the gravitational acceleration g and period T, with the deep-water wavelength given by L 0 = gT 2 /(2π) and the deep-water phase ...

  7. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    Frequency dispersion of surface gravity waves on deep water. The red square moves with the phase velocity, and the green dots propagate with the group velocity. In this deep-water case, the phase velocity is twice the group velocity. The red square traverses the figure in the time it takes the green dot to traverse half.

  8. Bode plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot

    In electrical engineering and control theory, a Bode plot is a graph of the frequency response of a system. It is usually a combination of a Bode magnitude plot, expressing the magnitude (usually in decibels) of the frequency response, and a Bode phase plot, expressing the phase shift.

  9. Richardson number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_Number

    where g is the gravitational acceleration, is the thermal expansion coefficient, T hot is the hot wall temperature, T ref is the reference temperature, L is the characteristic length, and V is the characteristic velocity. The Richardson number can also be expressed by using a combination of the Grashof number and Reynolds number,
