  2. Rectilinear locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_locomotion

    Rectilinear locomotion relies upon two opposing muscles, the costocutaneous inferior and superior, which are present on every rib and connect the ribs to the skin. [5] [6] Although it was originally believed that the ribs moved in a "walking" pattern during rectilinear movement, studies have shown that the ribs themselves do not move, only the muscles and the skin move to produce forward ...

  3. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    Since linear motion is a motion in a single dimension, the distance traveled by an object in particular direction is the same as displacement. [4] The SI unit of displacement is the metre . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] If x 1 {\displaystyle x_{1}} is the initial position of an object and x 2 {\displaystyle x_{2}} is the final position, then mathematically the ...

    Rectilinear prophecy, where a straight line can be drawn from the prophecy to the fulfillment without any branches as in the case of typological interpretations Near-rectilinear halo orbit , a highly-elliptical orbit around a Lagrangian point of a moon, that due to the moons orbital movement, will be nearly rectilinear in some frames of reference.

  5. Kinodynamic planning - Wikipedia

    Later they extended the technique to many other cases, for example, to 3D open-chain kinematic robots under full Lagrangian dynamics. [2] [3] More recently, many practical heuristic algorithms based on stochastic optimization and iterative sampling were developed, by a wide range of authors, to address the kinodynamic planning problem. These ...

  6. 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.

  7. Newton's theorem of revolving orbits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_theorem_of...

    The term "radial motion" signifies the motion towards or away from the center of force, whereas the angular motion is perpendicular to the radial motion. Isaac Newton derived this theorem in Propositions 43–45 of Book I of his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica , first published in 1687.

  8. Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time

    Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. [1] [2] [3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the ...
