  1. Aberraciones Ópticas

    Cuando utilizamos sistemas ópticos reales es habitual que se produzcan ciertas desviaciones o comportamientos no esperados respecto a los modelos ideales. Llamamos aberraciones ópticas a estas desviaciones y son debidas fundamentalmente a que no se cumple ...

  2. Ecuaciones del Movimiento Circular Uniformemente Acelerado (M.C.U.A)

    Un cuerpo realiza un movimiento circular uniformemente acelerado (m.c.u.a), también conocido como movmiento circular uniformemente variado (m.c.u.v), cuando su trayectoria es una circunferencia y su aceleración angular es constante. En este apartado vamos ...

  3. Gráficas del Movimiento Circular Uniformemente Acelerado (M.C.U.A)

    Un cuerpo realiza un movimiento circular uniformemente acelerado (m.c.u.a), también conocido como movimiento circular uniformemente variado (m.c.u.v), cuando su trayectoria es una circunferencia y su aceleración angular es constante. En este apartado vamo ...

  4. Motions and Reference Frames

    Reference Frame We want to propose a thought experiment: Imagine you are traveling in a bus. Siting in your seat, you can affirm, without fear to be mistaken, that the bus driver does not move while he is driving. After all, he does not change his positio ...

  5. Position Vector

    Position Vector In physics, the position, the position vector or the location vector of a body with respect to a coordinate system  is defined as the vector that links the location of the body with the origin of the coordinate system. In Cartesian coordin ...

  6. Trajectory and Equation of Position

    The trajectory is the geometric line or path described by a moving body. In this section, we are going to study: What the position equation is and its relationship with trajectory The main types of trajectory equations that exist Concept of trajectory and ...

  7. Displacement

    Displacement The displacement of a body in a time interval is equivalent to the change of its position in that interval. Since the position of a body is a vector quantity, the displacement of a body is also a vector. The displacement vector, or simply the ...

  8. Distance Traveled

    Distance traveled Imagine we are traveling by car from Santurce to Bilbao. Before leaving we reset the odometer to zero. As we move forward on our way the odometer reading will increase its value until we arrive to Bilbao, where the odometer will show the ...

  9. Difference between Displacement and Distance Traveled

    It is important to note the difference between distance traveled and displacement since, in general, they are different concepts that are often confused. Distance traveled is a scalar magnitude that is measured over the trajectory. Displacement is a vecto ...

  10. Average Velocity

    The everyday concept of velocity arises when we consider how quick or slow a body is moving. Somehow we relate the displacement of the body with the time invested in it. In this section, we will define what is meant in physics by average velocity. This co ...
