  2. Vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex

    The rotation moves around in circles. In this example the rotation of the bucket creates extra force. The reason that the vortices can change shape is the fact that they have open particle paths. This can create a moving vortex. Examples of this fact are the shapes of tornadoes and drain whirlpools.

  3. Motion diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_diagram

    Motion diagrams are a pictorial description of an object's motion. They show an object's position and velocity initially, and present several spots in the center of the diagram. These spots reveal whether or not the object has accelerated or decelerated. [1] For simplicity, the object is represented by a simple shape, such as a filled circle ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Inertial frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference

    For a more complex example involving observers in relative motion, consider Alfred, who is standing on the side of a road watching a car drive past him from left to right. In his frame of reference, Alfred defines the spot where he is standing as the origin, the road as the x-axis, and the direction in front of him as the positive y-axis.

  6. Chronophotography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronophotography

    Chronophotography of a European bee-eater (Merops apiaster) in flight at Pfyn-Finges, Switzerland. Chronophotography is defined as "a set of photographs of a moving object, taken for the purpose of recording and exhibiting successive phases of motion". [1]

  7. Motion estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_estimation

    It is an ill-posed problem as the motion happens in three dimensions (3D) but the images are a projection of the 3D scene onto a 2D plane. The motion vectors may relate to the whole image (global motion estimation) or specific parts, such as rectangular blocks, arbitrary shaped patches or even per pixel. The motion vectors may be represented by ...

  8. Motion History Images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_History_Images

    The motion history image (MHI) is a static image template helps in understanding the motion location and path as it progresses. [1] In MHI, the temporal motion information is collapsed into a single image template where intensity is a function of recency of motion.

  9. Tautochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautochrone_curve

    The problem is now to construct a curve that will cause the mass to obey the above motion. Newton's second law shows that the force of gravity and the acceleration of the mass are related by: − g sin ⁡ θ = d 2 s d t 2 = − ω 2 s {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}-g\sin \theta &={\frac {d^{2}s}{{dt}^{2}}}\\&=-\omega ^{2}s\,\end{aligned}}}
