Determining the curve with the quickest descent under gravitational force alone

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Various curvatures can be drawn between two different points. However, what curve will yield the fastest descent for an object to travel from higher point lower under force of gravity alone? This essay utilizes theoretical methods such as calculus, optimization, and parametric equations experimental approaches show that a - shaped like cycloid descent. conclusion has practical applications design roller coaster trajectories along with other entertainment facilities.

The Brachistochrone Curve: the Problem of Quickest Descent

This article presents the problem of quickest descent, or the Brachistochrone curve, that may be solved by the calculus of variations and the Euler-Lagrange equation. The cycloid is the quickest curve and also has the property of isochronism by which Huygens improved on Galileo’s pendulum. AMS Subject Classification: 34A02, 00A09, 97A20

Is the Gravitational Force Elementary?

The gravitational force is assumed to be mediated by spin 2 gravitons which are composed of four spin 1/2 (sub-) fermions. The dynamics is governed by a nonlinear spinorfield equation with nonperturbative Pauli-Villars regularization and canonical quantization. On the quantum level the fermion dynamics is expressed by a functional equation for algebraic state functionals, and the "graviton" (fu...

Gravitational Lorentz Force and the Description of the Gravitational Interaction

In the context of a gauge theory for the translation group, we have obtained , for a spinless particle, a gravitational analog of the Lorentz force. Then, we have shown that this force equation can be rewritten in terms of magnitudes related to either the teleparallel or the riemannian structures induced in spacetime by the presence of the gravitational field. In the first case, it gives a forc...

the evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology

abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...

determinant of the hankel matrix with binomial entries

abstract in this thesis at first we comput the determinant of hankel matrix with enteries a_k (x)=?_(m=0)^k??((2k+2-m)¦(k-m)) x^m ? by using a new operator, ? and by writing and solving differential equation of order two at points x=2 and x=-2 . also we show that this determinant under k-binomial transformation is invariant.
