  2. 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.

  3. Newton–Euler equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Euler_equations

    Traditionally the Newton–Euler equations is the grouping together of Euler's two laws of motion for a rigid body into a single equation with 6 components, using column vectors and matrices. These laws relate the motion of the center of gravity of a rigid body with the sum of forces and torques (or synonymously moments) acting on the rigid body.

  4. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    The green line shows the slope of the velocity-time graph at the particular point where the two lines touch.Its slope is the acceleration at that point.

  5. Canonical transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_transformation

    Restricted canonical transformations are coordinate transformations where transformed coordinates Q and P do not have explicit time dependence, i.e., = (,) and = (,).The functional form of Hamilton's equations is ˙ =, ˙ = In general, a transformation (q, p) → (Q, P) does not preserve the form of Hamilton's equations but in the absence of time dependence in transformation, some ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    However, if the Euler method is applied to this equation with step size =, then the numerical solution is qualitatively wrong: It oscillates and grows (see the figure). This is what it means to be unstable. If a smaller step size is used, for instance =, then the numerical solution does decay to zero.

  8. Korteweg–De Vries equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korteweg–De_Vries_equation

    Cnoidal wave solution to the Korteweg–De Vries equation, in terms of the square of the Jacobi elliptic function cn (and with value of the parameter m = 0.9). Numerical solution of the KdV equation u t + uu x + δ 2 u xxx = 0 (δ = 0.022) with an initial condition u(x, 0) = cos(πx). Time evolution was done by the Zabusky–Kruskal scheme. [1]

    Smooth solutions of the free (in the sense of without source term: g=0) equations satisfy the conservation of specific kinetic energy: + (+) = In the one-dimensional case without the source term (both pressure gradient and external force), the momentum equation becomes the inviscid Burgers' equation : ∂ u ∂ t + u ∂ u ∂ x = 0 ...
