  2. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    Since linear motion is a motion in a single dimension, the distance traveled by an object in particular direction is the same as displacement. [4] The SI unit of displacement is the metre . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] If x 1 {\displaystyle x_{1}} is the initial position of an object and x 2 {\displaystyle x_{2}} is the final position, then mathematically the ...

  3. Kinematics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics_equations

    There are three Kinematic equations for linear (and generally uniform) motion. These are v = u + at; v 2 = u 2 + 2as; s = ut + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ at 2; Besides these equations, there is one more equation used for finding displacement from the 0th to the nth second. The equation is: = + ()

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  5. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    A displacement consists of the combination of a rotation and a translation. The set of all displacements of M relative to F is called the configuration space of M. A smooth curve from one position to another in this configuration space is a continuous set of displacements, called the motion of M relative to F.

  6. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    Displacement is the shift in location when an object in motion changes from one position to another. [2] For motion over a given interval of time, the displacement divided by the length of the time interval defines the average velocity (a vector), whose magnitude is the average speed (a scalar quantity).

    The line element for an infinitesimal displacement from (r, θ, φ) to (r + dr, θ + dθ, φ + dφ) is = ^ + ^ + ⁡ ^, where ^ = ⁡ ⁡ ^ + ⁡ ⁡ ^ + ⁡ ^, ^ = ⁡ ⁡ ^ + ⁡ ⁡ ^ ⁡ ^, ^ = ⁡ ^ + ⁡ ^ are the local orthogonal unit vectors in the directions of increasing r, θ, and φ, respectively, and x̂, ŷ, and ẑ are the unit ...

  8. Chasles' theorem (kinematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasles'_theorem_(kinematics)

    Mozzi–Chasles' theorem says that every Euclidean motion is a screw displacement along some screw axis. In kinematics, Chasles' theorem, or Mozzi–Chasles' theorem, says that the most general rigid body displacement can be produced by a screw displacement. A direct Euclidean isometry in three dimensions involves a translation and a rotation ...

  9. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Linear motionmotion that follows a straight linear path, and whose displacement is exactly the same as its trajectory. [Also known as rectilinear motion] Reciprocal motion; Brownian motion – the random movement of very small particles; Circular motion; Rotatory motion – a motion about a fixed point. (e.g. Ferris wheel).
