  2. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  3. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The term kinematic is the English version of A.M. Ampère's cinématique, [9] which he constructed from the Greek κίνημα kinema ("movement, motion"), itself derived from κινεῖν kinein ("to move"). [10] [11] Kinematic and cinématique are related to the French word cinéma, but neither are directly derived from it.

  4. Inverse dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_dynamics

    Kinematics; Inverse kinematics: a problem similar to Inverse dynamics but with different goals and starting assumptions.While inverse dynamics asks for torques that produce a certain time-trajectory of positions and velocities, inverse kinematics only asks for a static set of joint angles such that a certain point (or a set of points) of the character (or robot) is positioned at a certain ...

    It is a solution to the problem, but expressed by the parameters of velocity. Return substitution to get the solution for velocities is: ... [9] [10] [11] In an angle ...

  6. List of unsolved problems in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    The following is a list of notable unsolved problems grouped into broad areas of physics. [1]Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result.

  7. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    There are many branches of classical mechanics, such as: statics, dynamics, kinematics, continuum mechanics (which includes fluid mechanics), statistical mechanics, etc. Mechanics: A branch of physics in which we study the object and properties of an object in form of a motion under the action of the force.

  8. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  9. Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebychev–Grübler...

    The Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion determines the number of degrees of freedom of a kinematic chain, that is, a coupling of rigid bodies by means of mechanical constraints. [1] These devices are also called linkages .
