Movement in more dimensions

Storyboard

When modeling motion in more than one dimension, it is necessary to simultaneously describe how multiple coordinates evolve over time.

If the evolution of each coordinate is independent of the others, the model treats each coordinate separately and then represents the motion in multidimensional space.

However, if the evolution of each coordinate is interdependent, the analysis must consider this interaction to obtain the development of each coordinate appropriately.

The rate at which velocity changes over time is defined as the average acceleration.

To measure it, one needs to measure how velocity changes over time.



One can use a stroboscopic lamp that flashes at defined intervals, allowing the distance traveled in that time to be determined from a photograph. By calculating two consecutive velocities, their variation can be determined, and with the time between photos, the average acceleration can be calculated.
