  2. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    Terminal velocity depends on atmospheric drag, the coefficient of drag for the object, the (instantaneous) velocity of the object, and the area presented to the airflow. Apart from the last formula, these formulas also assume that g negligibly varies with height during the fall (that is, they assume constant acceleration).

  3. Order tracking (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_tracking_(signal...

    Order tracking is based on a velocity measurement, generally obtained by means of a tachometer or encoder, needed to estimate the instantaneous velocity and/or the angular position of the shaft. Three main families of computed order tracking techniques have been developed in the past: Computed Order Tracking (COT), Vold-Kalman Filter (VKF) and ...

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Trajectory of a particle with initial position vector r 0 and velocity v 0, subject to constant acceleration a, all three quantities in any direction, and the position r(t) and velocity v(t) after time t. The initial position, initial velocity, and acceleration vectors need not be collinear, and the equations of motion take an almost identical ...

  5. Particle tracking velocimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_tracking_velocimetry

    The 3-D particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) belongs to the class of whole-field velocimetry techniques used in the study of turbulent flows, allowing the determination of instantaneous velocity and vorticity distributions over two or three spatial dimensions. 3-D PTV yields a time series of instantaneous 3-component velocity vectors in the form of fluid element trajectories.

  6. One-step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-step_method

    However, in order to mathematically formulate the instantaneous velocity of the body at a certain point in time , a limit transition is necessary: Consider short time spans of length , the distances traveled and the corresponding average velocities .If the time period Δ 𝑡 is now allowed to converge towards zero and if the average velocities ...

  7. Instant centre of rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_centre_of_rotation

    Sketch 1: Instantaneous center P of a moving plane. The instant center of rotation (also known as instantaneous velocity center, [1] instantaneous center, or pole of planar displacement) of a body undergoing planar movement is a point that has zero velocity at a particular instant of time.

  8. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    The instantaneous velocity of an object is the limit average velocity as the time interval approaches zero. At any particular time t , it can be calculated as the derivative of the position with respect to time: [ 2 ] v = lim Δ t → 0 Δ s Δ t = d s d t . {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {v}}=\lim _{{\Delta t}\to 0}{\frac {\Delta {\boldsymbol {s ...

  9. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; [2] the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity (a vector), which indicates additionally the direction of ...
