  2. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    Since linear motion is a motion in a single dimension, the distance traveled by an object in particular direction is the same as displacement. [4] The SI unit of displacement is the metre . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] If x 1 {\displaystyle x_{1}} is the initial position of an object and x 2 {\displaystyle x_{2}} is the final position, then mathematically the ...

  3. Curvilinear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_motion

    The motion of an object moving in a curved path is called curvilinear motion. [1] Example: A stone thrown into the air at an angle . Curvilinear motion describes the motion of a moving particles that conforms to a known or fixed curve.

  4. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    The mood effect of perspective distortion achieved by rectilinear extreme wide-angle lenses is that the resulting image looks grotesque and unsettling, while not looking as unrealistic as curvilinear fisheye lenses which display barrel distortion. The effect is especially noticeable the closer the camera is to the subject, as its amount ...

  5. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    A projectile following a ballistic trajectory has both forward and vertical motion. Forward motion is slowed due to air resistance, and in point mass modeling the vertical motion is dependent on a combination of the elevation angle and gravity. Initially, the projectile is rising with respect to the line of sight or the horizontal sighting plane.

  6. Curvilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates

    A curvilinear coordinate system may be simpler to use than the Cartesian coordinate system for some applications. The motion of particles under the influence of central forces is usually easier to solve in spherical coordinates than in Cartesian coordinates; this is true of many physical problems with spherical symmetry defined in R 3.

  7. Indian Field Gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Field_Gun

    Indian Field Gun Mark 2; Indian Field Gun Mark 3; The Light Field Gun (LFG) variant weights 2,380 kg (5,250 lb), but retains the same rate of fire and range as the IFG. The LFG can be broken down into two or three parts for easy transport and quickly re-assembled. The LFG can be heli-lifted and paradropped. [1] [2] The manufacture of the Light ...

  8. 7.7 cm Leichte Kraftwagengeschütze M1914 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.7_cm_Leichte...

    This meant that obsolete light field guns such as the 9 cm Kanone C/73 and captured guns such as the 76 mm divisional gun M1902 and Canon de 75 modèle 1897 were often issued to anti-aircraft units where they were used as makeshift anti-aircraft guns. Most were either propped up on earthen embankments or scaffolds to point the muzzle skyward.

  9. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...
