  2. Parabola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola

    In the theory of quadratic forms, the parabola is the graph of the quadratic form x 2 (or other scalings), while the elliptic paraboloid is the graph of the positive-definite quadratic form x 2 + y 2 (or scalings), and the hyperbolic paraboloid is the graph of the indefinite quadratic form x 2 − y 2. Generalizations to more variables yield ...

  3. Parabola of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola_of_safety

    In 2D and shooting on a horizontal plane, parabola of safety can be represented by the equation y = u 2 2 g − g x 2 2 u 2 {\displaystyle y={\frac {u^{2}}{2g}}-{\frac {gx^{2}}{2u^{2}}}} where u {\displaystyle u} is the initial speed of projectile and g {\displaystyle g} is the gravitational field.

  4. Universal parabolic constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_parabolic_constant

    The universal parabolic constant is the red length divided by the green length. The universal parabolic constant is a mathematical constant.. It is defined as the ratio, for any parabola, of the arc length of the parabolic segment formed by the latus rectum to the focal parameter.

  5. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_(mathematics)

    A family of conic sections of varying eccentricity share a focus point and directrix line, including an ellipse (red, e = 1/2), a parabola (green, e = 1), and a hyperbola (blue, e = 2). The conic of eccentricity 0 in this figure is an infinitesimal circle centered at the focus, and the conic of eccentricity ∞ is an infinitesimally separated ...

  6. Parabolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trajectory

    The green path in this image is an example of a parabolic trajectory. A parabolic trajectory is depicted in the bottom-left quadrant of this diagram, where the gravitational potential well of the central mass shows potential energy, and the kinetic energy of the parabolic trajectory is shown in red.

  7. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  8. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    This is the equation of a parabola, so the path is parabolic. The axis of the parabola is vertical. If the projectile's position (x,y) and launch angle (θ or α) are known, the initial velocity can be found solving for v 0 in the afore-mentioned parabolic equation:

  9. Muller's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muller's_method

    Muller's method fits a parabola, i.e. a second-order polynomial, to the last three obtained points f(x k-1), f(x k-2) and f(x k-3) in each iteration. One can generalize this and fit a polynomial p k,m (x) of degree m to the last m+1 points in the k th iteration. Our parabola y k is written as p k,2 in this notation.
