  2. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Equation [3] involves the average velocity ⁠ v + v 0 / 2 ⁠. Intuitively, the velocity increases linearly, so the average velocity multiplied by time is the distance traveled while increasing the velocity from v 0 to v, as can be illustrated graphically by plotting velocity against time as a straight line graph. Algebraically, it follows ...

  3. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    The equations ignore air resistance, which has a dramatic effect on objects falling an appreciable distance in air, causing them to quickly approach a terminal velocity. The effect of air resistance varies enormously depending on the size and geometry of the falling object—for example, the equations are hopelessly wrong for a feather, which ...

  4. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    From the foregoing, you can see that the time domain equations are simply scaled forms of the angle domain equations: is unscaled, ′ is scaled by ω, and ″ is scaled by ω². To convert the angle domain equations to time domain, first replace A with ωt , and then scale for angular velocity as follows: multiply x ′ {\displaystyle x'} by ...

  5. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    Points are at 0.05 s intervals and length of their tails is linearly proportional to their speed. t = time from launch, T = time of flight, R = range and H = highest point of trajectory (indicated with arrows). The total horizontal distance (d) traveled.

  6. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    d is the total horizontal distance travelled by the projectile. v is the velocity at which the projectile is launched; g is the gravitational acceleration—usually taken to be 9.81 m/s 2 (32 f/s 2) near the Earth's surface; θ is the angle at which the projectile is launched; y 0 is the initial height of the projectile

  7. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    The general formula for the escape velocity of an object at a distance r from the center of a planet with mass M is [12] = =, where G is the gravitational constant and g is the gravitational acceleration. The escape velocity from Earth's surface is about 11 200 m/s, and is irrespective of the direction of the object.

  8. Torricelli's law - Wikipedia

    Actually this is confirmed by state-of-the-art experiments (see [3]) in which the discharge, the outflow velocity and the cross-section of the vena contracta were measured. Here it was also shown that the outflow velocity is predicted extremely well by Torricelli's law and that no velocity correction (like a "coefficient of velocity") is needed.

  9. Relative velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_velocity

    Relative velocities between two particles in classical mechanics. The figure shows two objects A and B moving at constant velocity. The equations of motion are: = +, = +, where the subscript i refers to the initial displacement (at time t equal to zero).
