  2. Zero-velocity surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-velocity_surface

    Jacobi constant, a Zero Velocity Surface and Curve (also Hill's curve) [1] A zero-velocity surface is a concept that relates to the N-body problem of gravity. It represents a surface a body of given energy cannot cross, since it would have zero velocity on the surface. It was first introduced by George William Hill. [2]

  3. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    where is velocity of point A, angular velocity of wheel and vector from point P to A. The further a point in the wheel is from the instant center P, the proportionally larger its speed. Therefore, the point at the top of the wheel moves in the same direction as the center M of the wheel, but twice as fast, since it is twice the distance away ...

  4. Newmark-beta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmark-beta_method

    The Newmark-beta method is a method of numerical integration used to solve certain differential equations.It is widely used in numerical evaluation of the dynamic response of structures and solids such as in finite element analysis to model dynamic systems.

  5. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion, with constant velocity (zero acceleration); and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration). The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position x {\displaystyle x} , which varies with t {\displaystyle t} (time).

  6. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    Deceleration ramp down — positive jerk limit; linear increase in acceleration to zero; quadratic decrease in velocity; approaching the desired position at zero speed and zero acceleration Segment four's time period (constant velocity) varies with distance between the two positions.

  7. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The formula for the acceleration A P can now be obtained as: = ˙ + + (), or = / + / +, where α is the angular acceleration vector obtained from the derivative of the angular velocity vector; / =, is the relative position vector (the position of P relative to the origin O of the moving frame M); and = ¨ is the acceleration of the origin of ...

  8. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    They are often referred to as the SUVAT equations, where "SUVAT" is an acronym from the variables: s = displacement, u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, a = acceleration, t = time. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] In these variables, the equations of motion would be written

  9. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the acceleration process, because the effective forces on the body balance each other more and more closely as the terminal velocity is approached. In this example, a speed of 50 % of terminal velocity is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90 %, 15 seconds to ...
