  2. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    A trajectory or flight path is the path that an object with mass in motion follows through space as a function of time. In classical mechanics, a trajectory is defined by Hamiltonian mechanics via canonical coordinates; hence, a complete trajectory is defined by position and momentum, simultaneously. The mass might be a projectile or a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    The apparent outward force that draws a rotating body away from the centre of rotation. It is caused by the inertia of the body as the body's path is continually redirected. centripetal force A force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre. cGh physics

  4. Trajectory optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory_optimization

    Trajectory optimization is the process of designing a trajectory that minimizes (or maximizes) some measure of performance while satisfying a set of constraints. Generally speaking, trajectory optimization is a technique for computing an open-loop solution to an optimal control problem. It is often used for systems where computing the full ...

  5. Trajectory (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory_(disambiguation)

    A trajectory is the path a moving object follows through space. Types of trajectories include: trajectory of a projectile. lofted trajectory, a particular type of non-minimum energy ballistic trajectory; trajectory (fluid mechanics), the motion of a point in a moving fluid; in motion planning, the trajectory of a robotic motion

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus

    A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.

  7. Ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics

    A ballistic missile is a missile that is guided only during the relatively brief initial phase of powered flight, with the trajectory subsequently governed by the laws of classical mechanics, in contrast to (for example) a cruise missile, which is aerodynamically guided in powered flight like a fixed-wing aircraft.

  9. Orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit

    An animation showing a low eccentricity orbit (near-circle, in red), and a high eccentricity orbit (ellipse, in purple). In celestial mechanics, an orbit (also known as orbital revolution) is the curved trajectory of an object [1] such as the trajectory of a planet around a star, or of a natural satellite around a planet, or of an artificial satellite around an object or position in space such ...
