  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. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The term kinematic is the English version of A.M. Ampère's cinématique, [9] which he constructed from the Greek κίνημα kinema ("movement, motion"), itself derived from κινεῖν kinein ("to move"). [10] [11] Kinematic and cinématique are related to the French word cinéma, but neither are directly derived from it.

  4. Kinematics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics_equations

    From this point of view the kinematics equations can be used in two different ways. The first called forward kinematics uses specified values for the joint parameters to compute the end-effector position and orientation. The second called inverse kinematics uses the position and orientation of the end-effector to compute the joint parameters ...

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  6. Fundamentals of Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentals_of_Physics

    The current version is a revised version of the original 1960 textbook Physics for Students of Science and Engineering by Halliday and Resnick, which was published in two parts (Part I containing Chapters 1-25 and covering mechanics and thermodynamics; Part II containing Chapters 26-48 and covering electromagnetism, optics, and introducing ...

  7. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  8. Chemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_kinetics

    The 'rule of thumb' that the rate of chemical reactions doubles for every 10 °C temperature rise is a common misconception. This may have been generalized from the special case of biological systems, where the α (temperature coefficient) is often between 1.5 and 2.5. The kinetics of rapid reactions can be studied with the temperature jump method.

  9. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques.
