  2. Sine wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

    The displacement of an undamped spring-mass system oscillating around the equilibrium over time is a sine wave. Sinusoids that exist in both position and time also have: a spatial variable x {\displaystyle x} that represents the position on the dimension on which the wave propagates.

  3. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Equation [3] involves the average velocity ⁠ v + v 0 / 2 ⁠. Intuitively, the velocity increases linearly, so the average velocity multiplied by time is the distance traveled while increasing the velocity from v 0 to v, as can be illustrated graphically by plotting velocity against time as a straight line graph. Algebraically, it follows ...

  5. Tautochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautochrone_curve

    This is called Abel's integral equation and allows us to compute the total time required for a particle to fall along a given curve (for which / would be easy to calculate). But Abel's mechanical problem requires the converse – given T ( y 0 ) {\displaystyle T(y_{0})\,} , we wish to find f ( y ) = d ℓ / d y {\displaystyle f(y)={d\ell }/{dy ...

  6. Method of averaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_averaging

    The averaging method yields an autonomous dynamical system ˙ = (,,) =: ¯ which approximates the solution curves of ˙ inside a connected and compact region of the phase space and over time of /. Under the validity of this averaging technique, the asymptotic behavior of the original system is captured by the dynamical equation for y ...

  7. Transport theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_theorem

    The transport theorem (or transport equation, rate of change transport theorem or basic kinematic equation or Bour's formula, named after: Edmond Bour) is a vector equation that relates the time derivative of a Euclidean vector as evaluated in a non-rotating coordinate system to its time derivative in a rotating reference frame.

  8. Plotting algorithms for the Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plotting_algorithms_for...

    where z n is the value after n iterations and P is the power for which z is raised to in the Mandelbrot set equation (z n+1 = z n P + c, P is generally 2). If we choose a large bailout radius N (e.g., 10 100 ), we have that

  9. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    Fig 1-1. Position vs. time graph. In the study of 1-dimensional kinematics, position vs. time graphs (called x-t graphs for short) provide a useful means to describe motion.
