  2. Hyperbolic motion (relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_motion_(relativity)

    Hyperbolic motion is the motion of an object with constant proper acceleration in special relativity. It is called hyperbolic motion because the equation describing the path of the object through spacetime is a hyperbola , as can be seen when graphed on a Minkowski diagram whose coordinates represent a suitable inertial (non-accelerated) frame.

  3. Hyperbolic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_motion

    Set r = sec a and apply the third fundamental hyperbolic motion to obtain q = (r cos a, r sin a) where r = sec −1 a = cos a. Now |q – (½, 0)| 2 = (cos 2 a – ½) 2 +cos 2 a sin 2 a = ¼. so that q lies on the semicircle Z of radius ½ and center (½, 0). Thus the tangent ray at (1, 0) gets mapped to Z by the third fundamental

  4. Rindler coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindler_coordinates

    These hyperbolic coordinates can be separated into two main variants depending on the accelerated observer's position: If the observer is located at time T = 0 at position X = 1/α (with α as the constant proper acceleration measured by a comoving accelerometer), then the hyperbolic coordinates are often called Rindler coordinates with the ...

  5. Hyperbolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_trajectory

    A radial hyperbolic trajectory is a non-periodic trajectory on a straight line where the relative speed of the two objects always exceeds the escape velocity. There are two cases: the bodies move away from each other or towards each other. This is a hyperbolic orbit with semi-minor axis = 0 and eccentricity = 1.

  6. Rapidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidity

    Mathematically, rapidity can be defined as the hyperbolic angle that differentiates two frames of reference in relative motion, each frame being associated with distance and time coordinates. Using the inverse hyperbolic function artanh, the rapidity w corresponding to velocity v is w = artanh(v/c) where c is the speed of light.

  7. Hyperbolic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic

    Hyperbolic may refer to: of or pertaining to a hyperbola, a type of smooth curve lying in a plane in mathematics Hyperbolic geometry, a non-Euclidean geometry; Hyperbolic functions, analogues of ordinary trigonometric functions, defined using the hyperbola; of or pertaining to hyperbole, the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure ...

  8. Born rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_rigidity

    Born rigidity is satisfied if the orthogonal spacetime distance between infinitesimally separated curves or worldlines is constant, [7] or equivalently, if the length of the rigid body in momentary co-moving inertial frames measured by standard measuring rods (i.e. the proper length) is constant and is therefore subjected to Lorentz contraction in relatively moving frames. [8]
