  2. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    Clearly, in this example, the angle between the crank and the rod is not a right angle. Summing the angles of the triangle 88.21832° + 18.60639° + 73.17530° gives 180.00000°. A single counter-example is sufficient to disprove the statement "velocity maxima/minima occur when crank makes a right angle with rod".

  3. Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position - Wikipedia

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

  4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  5. Pick's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick's_theorem

    Another simple method for calculating the area of a polygon is the shoelace formula. It gives the area of any simple polygon as a sum of terms computed from the coordinates of consecutive pairs of its vertices. Unlike Pick's theorem, the shoelace formula does not require the vertices to have integer coordinates. [28]

  6. Matching law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_law

    The matching law can be applied to situations involving a single response maintained by a single schedule of reinforcement if one assumes that alternative responses are always available to an organism, maintained by uncontrolled "extraneous" reinforcers. For example, an animal pressing a lever for food might pause for a drink of water.

    Angular momentum about a position point r 0, L, J, S = Most of the time we can set r 0 = 0 if particles are orbiting about axes intersecting at a common point. kg m 2 s −1: M L 2 T −1: Moment of a force about a position point r 0, Torque. τ, M

  8. Fundamental theorem of calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of...

    The fundamental theorem of calculus is a theorem that links the concept of differentiating a function (calculating its slopes, or rate of change at each point in time) with the concept of integrating a function (calculating the area under its graph, or the cumulative effect of small contributions).

  9. Regula falsi - Wikipedia

    The correct answer is then found by proportional adjustment, x = ⁠ b / b′ ⁠ x′. Double false position is aimed at solving more difficult problems that can be written algebraically in the form: determine x such that = + =, if it is known that =, =.
