    the chromatic number of a graph in graph theory; the Euler characteristic in algebraic topology; electronegativity in the periodic table; the Fourier transform of a linear response function; a character in mathematics; especially a Dirichlet character in number theory; sometimes the mole fraction; a characteristic or indicator function in ...

  3. Hodograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodograph

    The opposite is true in the southern hemisphere (see thermal wind). Using the example hodograph, the wind V → 3 {\displaystyle {\vec {V}}_{3}} from the southwest meets the right side of the wind shear vector which means warm advection is occurring and thus the air is warming at that level.

  4. 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.)

  5. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

  6. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    In contrast to an average velocity, referring to the overall motion in a finite time interval, the instantaneous velocity of an object describes the state of motion at a specific point in time. It is defined by letting the length of the time interval Δ t {\displaystyle \Delta t} tend to zero, that is, the velocity is the time derivative of the ...

  7. 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.

  8. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    In general, angular velocity is measured in angle per unit time, e.g. radians per second. The SI unit of angular velocity is expressed as radians/sec with the radian having a dimensionless value of unity, thus the SI units of angular velocity are listed as 1/sec. Angular velocity is usually represented by the Greek letter omega (ω, sometimes ...

  9. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Equation [3] involves the average velocity ⁠ v + v 0 / 2 ⁠. Intuitively, the velocity increases linearly, so the average velocity multiplied by time is the distance traveled while increasing the velocity from v 0 to v, as can be illustrated graphically by plotting velocity against time as a straight line graph. Algebraically, it follows ...
