  2. Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth...

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Timing diagram over one revolution for angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and angular jerk. Consider a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis in an inertial reference frame. If its angular position as a function of time is θ(t), the angular velocity, acceleration, and jerk can be expressed as follows:

  5. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    Based on wind resistance, for example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a belly-to-earth (i.e., face down) free-fall position is about 195 km/h (122 mph or 54 m/s). [3] This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the acceleration process, because the effective forces on the body balance each other more and more closely as the ...

    piston pin position (distance upward from crank center along cylinder bore centerline) The following variables are also defined: piston pin velocity (upward from crank center along cylinder bore centerline) piston pin acceleration (upward from crank center along cylinder bore centerline)

  7. Dead reckoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

    Finally, the new position to display on the client is the result of interpolating from the projected position based on client information towards the projected position based on the last known server information ´. The resulting movement smoothly resolves the discrepancy between client-side and server-side information, even if this server-side ...

  8. Position (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_(geometry)

    In geometry, a position or position vector, also known as location vector or radius vector, is a Euclidean vector that represents a point P in space. Its length represents the distance in relation to an arbitrary reference origin O , and its direction represents the angular orientation with respect to given reference axes.

  9. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Unprimed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in one frame F; primed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in another frame F' moving at translational velocity V or angular velocity Ω relative to F. Conversely F moves at velocity (—V or —Ω) relative to F'. The situation is similar for relative ...
