Introduction Have you ever played a video game with a controller that used motion controls? Do you ever wonder how sometimes a smartphone seems to "know" if you're moving? How do these electronic ...

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

Velocity is always TANGENT to the path. Acceleration, in general, has BOTH tangential and normal components. The normal component of acceleration always points INWARD to the path. The tangential ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master the theories and concepts of spacecraft attitude dynamics through three main topic areas: Kinematics, Kinetics, and Control. Apply transport ...

In this problem, one simply needs to differentiate both the x- and y-coordinates once with respect to time in order to find the corresponding Cartesian components of velocity. Taking another time ...
