	Equation of motion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, equations of motion are equations that describe the behavior of a system (e.g., the motion of a particle under an influence of a force) as a function of time.
		Sometimes the term refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler-Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.
		The equations that apply to bodies moving linearly (that is, one dimension) with uniform acceleration are presented below.

	Equations of Motion
		The equations of motion are valid only when acceleration is constant and motion is constrained to a straight line.
		Motion along a curved path may also be effectively one-dimensional if there is only one degree of freedom for the objects involved.
		The second equation of motion is a quadratic and solving it for time would introduce a lot of nastiness into the algebra.

		The acceleration of a fluid element in the moving frame may then be different than in the unaccelerated frame, and the equation of motion in the accelerated frame must be modified.
		This expression may be equated to the local force per unit mass of fluid to give the equation of motion in the rotating frame.
		The equation of motion of a fluid in a moving frame is therefore identical in form to that in an absolute frame provided we suppose that the fictitious body force

	Description of Motion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Motion is described in terms of displacement (x), time (t), velocity (v), and acceleration (a).
		The case of motion in one dimension (one direction) is a good starting point for the description of motion.
		The motion equations represent a complete set of equations for constant acceleration motion, but in certain types of problems, intermediate results must be calculated before proceeding to the final calculation.

	Calculating the Equation of Motion
		Even though the parameterized orbits in equation (3.21) are different from the paths from Hamilton's principle, they behave similarly in the action A from equation (3.1).

	Motion (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, motion means a continuous change in the position of a body relative to a reference point, as measured by a particular observer in a particular frame of reference.
		Whereas Newton's laws of motion assumed absolute values of space and time in the equations of motion, the model of Einstein and Poincaré, now called the special theory of relativity, assumed values for these concepts with arbitrary zero points.
		In the newtonian model, because motion is defined as the proportion of space to time, these concepts are prior to motion, just as the concept of motion itself is prior to force.

		That this equation is really a second order differential equation in time, t, can be understood from the fact that acceleration is the derivative of the velocity, v, to time and velocity is the derivative of position, u, to time, viz.
		To find this solution in the case that an analytical solution is difficult, one can solve the second order differential equation in a numerical fashion by numerical integration.
		Thus armed with these two values and the equation of motion, one may numerically determine the trajectory of particles.
