  2. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Displacement is the shift in location when an object in motion changes from one position to another. [2] For motion over a given interval of time, the displacement divided by the length of the time interval defines the average velocity (a vector), whose magnitude is the average speed (a scalar quantity).

  3. Displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement

    Displacement (geometry), is the difference between the final and initial position of a point trajectory (for instance, the center of mass of a moving object).The actual path covered to reach the final position is irrelevant.

  4. Retraction (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retraction_(topology)

    A space is an absolute neighborhood retract for the class , written ⁡ (), if is in and whenever is a closed subset of a space in , is a neighborhood retract of . Various classes C {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}} such as normal spaces have been considered in this definition, but the class M {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}} of metrizable spaces ...

  5. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    Absement changes as an object remains displaced and stays constant as the object resides at the initial position. It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement.

  6. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    From this derivative equation, in the one-dimensional case it can be seen that the area under a velocity vs. time (v vs. t graph) is the displacement, s. In calculus terms, the integral of the velocity function v(t) is the displacement function s(t). In the figure, this corresponds to the yellow area under the curve.

  7. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Mathematically Force is directly proportional to the negative of displacement. Negative sign signifies the restoring nature of the force. (e.g., that of a pendulum). Linear motion – motion that follows a straight linear path, and whose displacement is exactly the same as its trajectory. [Also known as rectilinear motion] Reciprocal motion

  9. Differential calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus

    In mathematics, differential calculus is a subfield of calculus that studies the rates at which quantities change. [1] It is one of the two traditional divisions of calculus, the other being integral calculus—the study of the area beneath a curve.
