  2. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timedistance_diagram

    A timedistance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...

  3. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g.

  4. Comoving and proper distances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comoving_and_proper_distances

    Despite being an integral over time, this expression gives the correct distance that would be measured by a set of comoving local rulers at fixed time t, i.e. the "proper distance" (as defined below) after accounting for the time-dependent comoving speed of light via the inverse scale factor term / (′) in the integrand.

  5. Free response question - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_response_question

    Free response tests are a relatively effective test of higher-level reasoning, as the format requires test-takers to provide more of their reasoning in the answer than multiple choice questions. [4] Students, however, report higher levels of anxiety when taking essay questions as compared to short-response or multiple choice exams.

  6. Acceleration (special relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration_(special...

    Accelerations in special relativity (SR) follow, as in Newtonian Mechanics, by differentiation of velocity with respect to time.Because of the Lorentz transformation and time dilation, the concepts of time and distance become more complex, which also leads to more complex definitions of "acceleration".

    MCQ may refer to McQ, a 1974 crime action film; McQ Inc, an American defense company based in Pennsylvania; Mathematical Citation Quotient, a measure of the impact of ...

  8. Proper length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_length

    Since the rod is stationary in K 0, the distance between the marks is the proper length of the rod regardless of the time lapse between the two markings. On the other hand, it is not the proper distance between the marking events if the marks are not made simultaneously in K 0."

  9. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    In the time domain the independent variables are distance and time. The resulting time domain equations are partial differential equations of both time and distance. In the frequency domain the independent variables are distance x {\displaystyle x} and either frequency , ω {\displaystyle \omega } , or complex frequency , s {\displaystyle s} .
