  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 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    In physics, equations of motion are equations that describe the behavior of a physical system in terms of its motion as a function of time. [3] More specifically, the equations of motion describe the behavior of a physical system as a set of mathematical functions in terms of dynamic variables.

  4. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    In other words, instantaneous acceleration is defined as the derivative of velocity with respect to time: [9] =. From there, velocity is expressed as the area under an a(t) acceleration vs. time graph. As above, this is done using the concept of the integral:

  5. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

  6. Science fair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fair

    A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.

    In other words, velocity asymptotically ... Breguet went on to put his ideas into practice by designing several record-breaking aircraft in the 1920s and 1930s ...

  8. The word theory in "the theory of evolution" does not imply scientific doubt regarding its validity; the concepts of theory and hypothesis have specific meanings in a scientific context. While theory in colloquial usage may denote a hunch or conjecture, a scientific theory is a set of principles that explains an observable phenomenon in natural ...

  9. Four-velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-velocity

    The velocity, in contrast, is the rate of change of the position in (three-dimensional) space of the object, as seen by an observer, with respect to the observer's time. The value of the magnitude of an object's four-velocity, i.e. the quantity obtained by applying the metric tensor g to the four-velocity U , that is ‖ U ‖ 2 = U ⋅ U = g ...
