  2. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    Kinematic features besides the object's position are visible by the slope and shape of the lines. [1] In Fig 1-1, the plotted object moves away from the origin at a positive constant velocity (1.66 m/s) for 6 seconds, halts for 5 seconds, then returns to the origin over a period of 7 seconds at a non-constant speed (but negative velocity).

  3. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    The only line that fills the requirement is a line colinear with link P 1-A. Somewhere on this line there is a point P, the instant center of rotation for the body BAC. What applies to point A also applies to point B, therefore this instant center of rotation P is located on a line perpendicular to vector V B, a line colinear with link P 2-B.

  4. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    According to this view, a frame is an observer plus a coordinate lattice constructed to be an orthonormal right-handed set of spacelike vectors perpendicular to a timelike vector. See Doran. [ 20 ] This restricted view is not used here, and is not universally adopted even in discussions of relativity.

  5. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    A prismatic joint, or slider, requires that a line, or axis, in the moving body remain co-linear with a line in the fixed body, and a plane parallel to this line in the moving body maintain contact with a similar parallel plane in the fixed body. This imposes five constraints on the relative movement of the links, which therefore has one degree ...

  6. Proper motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_motion

    The celestial north and south poles are above/below CNP, CSP; the origin of all 24 hours of Right Ascension (the measure of absolute celestial east–west position), the March equinox (center of the sun's position then) at the J2000 epoch, is vector V. In red the diagram adds the components of proper motion across the celestial sphere.

  7. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    All points in the body have the same component of the velocity along the axis, however the greater the distance from the axis the greater the velocity in the plane perpendicular to this axis. Thus, the helicoidal field formed by the velocity vectors in a moving rigid body flattens out the further the points are radially from the twist axis.

  8. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    The rejection of a vector from a plane is its orthogonal projection on a straight line which is orthogonal to that plane. Both are vectors. The first is parallel to the plane, the second is orthogonal. For a given vector and plane, the sum of projection and rejection is equal to the original vector.

  9. Position (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Kinematic quantities of a classical particle: mass m, position r, velocity v, acceleration a. For a position vector r that is a function of time t, the time derivatives can be computed with respect to t. These derivatives have common utility in the study of kinematics, control theory, engineering and other sciences. Velocity
