  2. 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.)

  3. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    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. The dimension of absement is length multiplied by time.

  4. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    The length of the rod can be computed by multiplying its travel time by its velocity, thus = in the rod's rest frame or = in the clock's rest frame. [ 14 ] In Newtonian mechanics, simultaneity and time duration are absolute and therefore both methods lead to the equality of L {\displaystyle L} and L 0 {\displaystyle L_{0}} .

  5. Longest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_path_problem

    In graph theory and theoretical computer science, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph.A path is called simple if it does not have any repeated vertices; the length of a path may either be measured by its number of edges, or (in weighted graphs) by the sum of the weights of its edges.

  6. Discrete calculus - Wikipedia

    Then the area of the rectangle with base and height gives the distance (time multiplied by speed ) traveled in that segment. Associated with each segment is the value of the function above it, () =. The sum of all such rectangles gives the area between the axis and the piece-wise constant curve, which is the total distance traveled.

  7. Cost distance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_distance_analysis

    They compared the cost rate (i.e., cost per unit distance, the inverse of velocity if the cost is time) to the slope of a terrain surface (i.e., elevation change per unit distance), both being mathematical derivatives of an accumulated function or field: total elevation above a vertical datum (sea level) in the case of terrain.

  8. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    Unlike a regular distance-time graph, the distance is displayed on the horizontal axis and time on the vertical axis. Additionally, the time and space units of measurement are chosen in such a way that an object moving at the speed of light is depicted as following a 45° angle to the diagram's axes.

  9. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timedistance_diagram

    A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...
