  2. Motion (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, a motion is an isometry of a metric space. For instance, a plane equipped with the Euclidean distance metric is a metric space in which a mapping associating congruent figures is a motion. [1] More generally, the term motion is a synonym for surjective isometry in metric geometry, [2] including elliptic geometry and hyperbolic ...

  3. Euclidean planes in three-dimensional space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_planes_in_three...

    This familiar equation for a plane is called the general form of the equation of the plane or just the plane equation. [6] Thus for example a regression equation of the form y = d + ax + cz (with b = −1) establishes a best-fit plane in three-dimensional space when there are two explanatory variables.

  4. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.

  5. Plane (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a plane is a two-dimensional space or flat surface that extends indefinitely. A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (zero dimensions), a line (one dimension) and three-dimensional space. When working exclusively in two-dimensional Euclidean space, the definite article is used, so the Euclidean plane refers to the ...

  6. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    If the xy plane rotates with a constant angular velocity ω about the z-axis, then the velocity of the point with respect to z-axis may be written as: The xy plane rotates to an angle ωt (anticlockwise) about the origin in time t. (c, 0) is the position of the object at t = 0. P is the position of the object at time t, at a distance of R = vt + c.

  7. Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamlines,_streaklines...

    In the aircraft example, the observer on the ground will observe unsteady flow, and the observers in the aircraft will observe steady flow, with constant streamlines. When possible, fluid dynamicists try to find a reference frame in which the flow is steady, so that they can use experimental methods of creating streaklines to identify the ...

  8. Phase portrait - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_portrait

    The equation of motion is ¨ + ˙ + = In mathematics , a phase portrait is a geometric representation of the orbits of a dynamical system in the phase plane . Each set of initial conditions is represented by a different point or curve .

  9. Euclidean plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_plane

    In mathematics, a Euclidean plane is a Euclidean space of dimension two, denoted or . It is a geometric space in which two real numbers are required to determine the position of each point . It is an affine space , which includes in particular the concept of parallel lines .
