  2. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion, with constant velocity (zero acceleration); and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration). The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position x {\displaystyle x} , which varies with t {\displaystyle t} (time).

  3. Rectilinear lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_lens

    While this example has been rectilinear-corrected by software, high quality wide-angle lenses are built with optical rectilinear correction. In photography, a rectilinear lens is a photographic lens that yields images where straight features, such as the edges of walls of buildings, appear with straight lines, as opposed to being curved.

  4. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    [Also known as rectilinear motion] Reciprocal motion; Brownian motion – the random movement of very small particles; Circular motion; Rotatory motion – a motion about a fixed point. (e.g. Ferris wheel). Curvilinear motion – It is defined as the motion along a curved path that may be planar or in three dimensions.

  5. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    The mood effect of perspective distortion achieved by rectilinear extreme wide-angle lenses is that the resulting image looks grotesque and unsettling, while not looking as unrealistic as curvilinear fisheye lenses which display barrel distortion. The effect is especially noticeable the closer the camera is to the subject, as its amount ...

  6. Curvilinear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_motion

    The motion of an object moving in a curved path is called curvilinear motion. [1] Example: A stone thrown into the air at an angle . Curvilinear motion describes the motion of a moving particles that conforms to a known or fixed curve.

  7. Rectilinear propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectilinear_propagation

    Rectilinear propagation was discovered by Pierre de Fermat. [1] Rectilinear propagation is only an approximation. [citation needed] The rectilinear approximation is only valid for short distances, in reality light is a wave and have a tendency to spread out over time. The distances for which the approximation is valid depends on the wavelength ...

    Kurt the CyberGuy walks through steps he recommends immediately taking after getting new electronics — like phones or TVs — as gifts this holiday season.

  9. Curvilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates

    A curvilinear coordinate system may be simpler to use than the Cartesian coordinate system for some applications. The motion of particles under the influence of central forces is usually easier to solve in spherical coordinates than in Cartesian coordinates; this is true of many physical problems with spherical symmetry defined in R 3.
