  2. Hodograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodograph

    One has to notice that direction are plotted as mentioned in the upper right corner. With the hodograph and thermodynamic diagrams like the tephigram, meteorologists can calculate: Wind shear: The lines uniting the extremities of successive vectors represent the variation in direction and value of the wind in a layer of the atmosphere.

  3. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Because the velocity v is tangent to the circular path, no two velocities point in the same direction. Although the object has a constant speed , its direction is always changing. This change in velocity is caused by an acceleration a , whose magnitude is (like that of the velocity) held constant, but whose direction also is always changing.

  4. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

    if the velocity is straight inward to the axis, the Coriolis force is in the direction of local rotation. For example, on Earth, this situation occurs for a body at the equator falling downward, as in the Dechales illustration above, where the falling ball travels further to the east than does the tower.

  5. Dead reckoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

    Networked games and simulation tools routinely use dead reckoning to predict where an actor should be right now, using its last known kinematic state (position, velocity, acceleration, orientation, and angular velocity). [14] This is primarily needed because it is impractical to send network updates at the rate that most games run, 60 Hz.

  6. 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.)

    It’s tamale time. This Mexican comfort food has a long history and is an essential part of every major holiday, particularly Christmas. It’s also the perfect portable snack for holiday travelers.

  8. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Trajectory of a particle with initial position vector r 0 and velocity v 0, subject to constant acceleration a, all three quantities in any direction, and the position r(t) and velocity v(t) after time t. The initial position, initial velocity, and acceleration vectors need not be collinear, and the equations of motion take an almost identical ...

    It is this dynamic — in addition to an industry-wide reluctance to commit substantial resources to his position — that has left Alonso’s free agency seemingly stuck in the mud.
