  2. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position , which varies with (time). An example of linear motion is an athlete running a 100-meter dash along a straight track. [2] Linear motion is the most basic of all motion.

  3. 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.

  4. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    Integrals and derivatives of displacement, including absement, as well as integrals and derivatives of energy, including actergy. (Janzen et al. 2014) In kinematics, absement (or absition) is a measure of sustained displacement of an object from its initial position, i.e. a measure of how far away and for how long.

  5. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

  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).

  7. Lonely runner conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonely_runner_conjecture

    At the initial time =, all runners are at the same position and start to run; the runners' speeds are constant, all distinct, and may be negative. A runner is said to be lonely at time if they are at a distance (measured along the circle) of at least / from every other runner. The lonely runner conjecture states that each runner is lonely at ...

    BERLIN (Reuters) -Three parties in the eastern German state of Thuringia joined forces on Thursday to keep the poll-topping Alternative for Germany out of power, electing as state premier a ...

  9. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Because speed is constant, the velocity vectors on the right sweep out a circle as time advances. For a swept angle dθ = ω dt the change in v is a vector at right angles to v and of magnitude v dθ , which in turn means that the magnitude of the acceleration is given by a c = v d θ d t = v ω = v 2 r {\displaystyle a_{c}=v{\frac {d\theta ...
