  2. Peter Riegel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Riegel

    is the distance over which the initial time is achieved D 2 {\displaystyle D_{2}} is the distance for which the time is to be predicted Riegel expanded on his thesis in a 1981 article for American Scientist , stating that the formula t = a x b {\displaystyle t=ax^{b}} concerns activities in the "endurance range", namely lasting between 3.5 and ...

  3. Comoving and proper distances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comoving_and_proper_distances

    The comoving distance from an observer to a distant object (e.g. galaxy) can be computed by the following formula (derived using the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric): = ′ (′) where a(t′) is the scale factor, t e is the time of emission of the photons detected by the observer, t is the present time, and c is the speed of ...

  4. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g.

  5. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    The average speed over a finite time interval is the total distance travelled divided by the time duration. Average speed As an example, a bowling ball's speed when first released will be above its average speed, and after decelerating because of friction, its speed when reaching the pins will be below its average speed.

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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth...

    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 = = =.

  7. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    This value is the same throughout the universe for a given comoving time. D is the proper distance (which can change over time, unlike the comoving distance, which is constant) from the galaxy to the observer, measured in mega parsecs (Mpc), in the 3-space defined by given cosmological time. (Recession velocity is just v = dD/dt).

  8. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    For convenience, consider contact with the spring occurs at t = 0, then the integral of the product of the distance x and the x-velocity, xv x dt, over time t is ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2. The work is the product of the distance times the spring force, which is also dependent on distance; hence the x 2 result.

  9. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    In considering motions of objects over time, the instantaneous velocity of the object is the rate of change of the displacement as a function of time. The instantaneous speed, then, is distinct from velocity, or the time rate of change of the distance travelled along a specific path. The velocity may be equivalently defined as the time rate of ...
