  2. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17615°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60647° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21738°. Clearly, in ...

  3. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    All frames of reference with zero acceleration are in a state of constant rectilinear motion (straight-line motion) with respect to one another. In such a frame, an object with zero net force acting on it, is perceived to move with a constant velocity, or, equivalently, Newton's first law of motion holds. Such frames are known as inertial.

  4. Proper acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_acceleration

    In relativity theory, proper acceleration [1] is the physical acceleration (i.e., measurable acceleration as by an accelerometer) experienced by an object. It is thus acceleration relative to a free-fall , or inertial , observer who is momentarily at rest relative to the object being measured.

  5. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Deceleration ramp down — positive jerk limit; linear increase in acceleration to zero; quadratic decrease in velocity; approaching the desired position at zero speed and zero acceleration Segment four's time period (constant velocity) varies with distance between the two positions.

  6. Verlet integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verlet_integration

    To discretize and numerically solve this initial value problem, a time step > is chosen, and the sampling-point sequence = considered. The task is to construct a sequence of points x n {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} _{n}} that closely follow the points x ( t n ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {x} (t_{n})} on the trajectory of the exact solution.

  7. Accelerometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerometer

    An accelerometer measures proper acceleration, which is the acceleration it experiences relative to freefall and is the acceleration felt by people and objects. [2] Put another way, at any point in spacetime the equivalence principle guarantees the existence of a local inertial frame, and an accelerometer measures the acceleration relative to that frame.

  9. Duhamel's integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhamel's_integral

    If a system initially rests at its equilibrium position, from where it is acted upon by a unit-impulse at the instance t=0, i.e., p(t) in the equation above is a Dirac delta function δ(t), () = | = =, then by solving the differential equation one can get a fundamental solution (known as a unit-impulse response function)
