Rectilinear prophecy, where a straight line can be drawn from the prophecy to the fulfillment without any branches as in the case of typological interpretations Near-rectilinear halo orbit , a highly-elliptical orbit around a Lagrangian point of a moon, that due to the moons orbital movement, will be nearly rectilinear in some frames of reference.
Linear motion, also called rectilinear motion, [1] is one-dimensional motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension. The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion , with constant velocity (zero acceleration ); and non-uniform linear motion , with variable velocity ...
Rectilinear propagation was discovered by Pierre de Fermat. [1] Rectilinear propagation is only an approximation. [citation needed] The rectilinear approximation is only valid for short distances, in reality light is a wave and have a tendency to spread out over time. The distances for which the approximation is valid depends on the wavelength ...
Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.
Scientific terminology is the part of the language that is used by scientists in the context of their professional activities. While studying nature, scientists often encounter or create new material or immaterial objects and concepts and are compelled to name them.
Inertia is the natural tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes the velocity to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). [1]
While this example has been rectilinear-corrected by software, high quality wide-angle lenses are built with optical rectilinear correction. In photography, a rectilinear lens is a photographic lens that yields images where straight features, such as the edges of walls of buildings, appear with straight lines, as opposed to being curved.
[Also known as rectilinear motion] Reciprocal motion; Brownian motion – the random movement of very small particles; Circular motion; Rotatory motion – a motion about a fixed point. (e.g. Ferris wheel). Curvilinear motion – It is defined as the motion along a curved path that may be planar or in three dimensions.
