  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the change in momentum of an object. If the initial momentum of an object is p 1, and a subsequent momentum is p 2, the object has received an impulse J: =. Momentum is a vector quantity, so impulse is also a vector quantity.

  3. Impulse response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_response

    The impulse response from a simple audio system. Showing, from top to bottom, the original impulse, the response after high frequency boosting, and the response after low frequency boosting. In signal processing and control theory , the impulse response , or impulse response function ( IRF ), of a dynamic system is its output when presented ...

  4. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The graph of the Dirac delta is usually thought of as following the whole x-axis and the positive y-axis. [5]: 174 The Dirac delta is used to model a tall narrow spike function (an impulse), and other similar abstractions such as a point charge, point mass or electron point.

  5. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    First order LTI systems are characterized by the differential equation + = where τ represents the exponential decay constant and V is a function of time t = (). The right-hand side is the forcing function f(t) describing an external driving function of time, which can be regarded as the system input, to which V(t) is the response, or system output.

  6. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    Specific impulse should not be confused with energy efficiency, which can decrease as specific impulse increases, since propulsion systems that give high specific impulse require high energy to do so. [3] Specific impulse should not be confused with total thrust. Thrust is the force supplied by the engine and depends on the propellant mass flow ...

  7. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    As a vector, jerk j can be expressed as the first time derivative of acceleration, second time derivative of velocity, and third time derivative of position: = = = ()Where:

  8. Overshoot (signal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overshoot_(signal)

    The sinc function, which is the impulse response of an ideal low-pass filter. Further information: Ringing artifacts In signal processing , overshoot is when the output of a filter has a higher maximum value than the input, specifically for the step response , and frequently yields the related phenomenon of ringing artifacts .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_function

    Plot of normalized ⁡ function (i.e. ⁡ ()) with its spectral frequency components.. The unitary Fourier transforms of the rectangular function are [2] ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ (), using ordinary frequency f, where is the normalized form [10] of the sinc function and ⁡ = ⁡ (/) / = ⁡ (/), using angular frequency , where is the unnormalized form of the sinc function.
