  2. Fourth, fifth, and sixth derivatives of position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth,_fifth,_and_sixth...

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

  3. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

    The green line shows the slope of the velocity-time graph at the particular point where the two lines touch. Its slope is the acceleration at that point. Its slope is the acceleration at that point. In mechanics , the derivative of the position vs. time graph of an object is equal to the velocity of the object.

  4. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    Grade is usually expressed as a percentage - converted to the angle α by taking the inverse tangent of the standard mathematical slope, which is rise / run or the grade / 100. If one looks at red numbers on the chart specifying grade, one can see the quirkiness of using the grade to specify slope; the numbers go from 0 for flat, to 100% at 45 ...

  5. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    Jerk (also known as Jolt) is the rate of change of an object's acceleration over time. It is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction). Jerk is most commonly denoted by the symbol j and expressed in m/s 3 ( SI units ) or standard gravities per second ( g 0 /s).

  6. Slope - Wikipedia

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  7. Dynamic time warping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_time_warping

    Due to different speaking rates, a non-linear fluctuation occurs in speech pattern versus time axis, which needs to be eliminated. [31] DP matching is a pattern-matching algorithm based on dynamic programming (DP) , which uses a time-normalization effect, where the fluctuations in the time axis are modeled using a non-linear time-warping function.

  8. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    Unlike a regular distance-time graph, the distance is displayed on the horizontal axis and time on the vertical axis. Additionally, the time and space units of measurement are chosen in such a way that an object moving at the speed of light is depicted as following a 45° angle to the diagram's axes.

  9. Differential (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mathematics)

    [5] Differentials in smooth models of set theory. This approach is known as synthetic differential geometry or smooth infinitesimal analysis and is closely related to the algebraic geometric approach, except that ideas from topos theory are used to hide the mechanisms by which nilpotent infinitesimals are introduced.
