    The symbols Δt and ΔT (spoken as "delta T") are commonly used in a variety of contexts. Time. ΔT (timekeeping) ...

  3. ΔT (timekeeping) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ΔT_(timekeeping)

    TT-UT1 2000+ ΔT vs. time from 1657 to 2022 [1] [2] In precise timekeeping, ΔT (Delta T, delta-T, deltaT, or DT) is a measure of the cumulative effect of the departure of the Earth's rotation period from the fixed-length day of International Atomic Time (86,400 seconds).

  4. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    In areas of physics such as wave propagation and wave mechanics, the equations involved are hyperbolic and so may have more singular solutions. As a result, the nascent delta functions that arise as fundamental solutions of the associated Cauchy problems are generally oscillatory integrals .

  5. Delta-v - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v

    Delta-v (also known as "change in velocity"), symbolized as and pronounced /dɛltə viː/, as used in spacecraft flight dynamics, is a measure of the impulse per unit of spacecraft mass that is needed to perform a maneuver such as launching from or landing on a planet or moon, or an in-space orbital maneuver.

  6. 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.

  7. Green's function - Wikipedia

    In other words, the solution of equation 2, u(x), can be determined by the integration given in equation 3. Although f ( x ) is known, this integration cannot be performed unless G is also known. The problem now lies in finding the Green's function G that satisfies equation 1 .
