  2. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    d is the total horizontal distance travelled by the projectile. v is the velocity at which the projectile is launched; g is the gravitational acceleration—usually taken to be 9.81 m/s 2 (32 f/s 2) near the Earth's surface; θ is the angle at which the projectile is launched; y 0 is the initial height of the projectile

  3. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    The equations ignore air resistance, which has a dramatic effect on objects falling an appreciable distance in air, causing them to quickly approach a terminal velocity. The effect of air resistance varies enormously depending on the size and geometry of the falling object—for example, the equations are hopelessly wrong for a feather, which ...

  4. Poincaré half-plane model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_half-plane_model

    The metric of the model on the half-plane, { , >}, is: = + ()where s measures the length along a (possibly curved) line. The straight lines in the hyperbolic plane (geodesics for this metric tensor, i.e., curves which minimize the distance) are represented in this model by circular arcs perpendicular to the x-axis (half-circles whose centers are on the x-axis) and straight vertical rays ...

  5. Half-space (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-space_(geometry)

    In geometry, a half-space is either of the two parts into which a plane divides the three-dimensional Euclidean space. [1] If the space is two-dimensional, then a half-space is called a half-plane (open or closed). [2] [3] A half-space in a one-dimensional space is called a half-line [4] or ray.

  6. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    In this case, the half planes can be described by a point P of their intersection, and three vectors b 0, b 1 and b 2 such that P + b 0, P + b 1 and P + b 2 belong respectively to the intersection line, the first half plane, and the second half plane. The dihedral angle of these two half planes is defined by

  7. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    If the object is disk-like, weights may be attached near the rim to reduce the sensed vibration. This is called one-plane dynamic balancing. If the object is cylinder or rod-like, it may be preferable to execute two-plane balancing, which holds one end's spin axis steady, while the other end's vibration is reduced.

  8. Hyperbolic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_motion

    For some hyperbolic motions in the half-plane see the Ultraparallel theorem. The points of the Poincaré half-plane model HP are given in Cartesian coordinates as {(x,y): y > 0} or in polar coordinates as {(r cos a, r sin a): 0 < a < π, r > 0 }. The hyperbolic motions will be taken to be a composition of three fundamental hyperbolic motions.

  9. Upper half-plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_half-plane

    ⁠ The lower half-plane is the set of points ⁠ (,) ⁠ with ⁠ < ⁠ instead. Arbitrary oriented half-planes can be obtained via a planar rotation. Half-planes are an example of two-dimensional half-space. A half-plane can be split in two quadrants.
