Non-Linear Motion
... At what speed is the ball thrown? • The ball is thrown horizontally, so its speed equals the horizontal distance divided by the time: v = d/t or vx = Rx/t • We also know that h = ½gt2. Since h = 5 m, t must equal 1 s. • Solving out, we get v = d/t = 20 m / 1 s = 20 m/s ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
