Not sure what you're asking, but my perception is that mass is stored in the protons, neutrons and electrons. What gives them mass? I dunno, but at least I can look at a hydrogen atom:
Bingo. If you could somehow make a measurement without time(impossible) you should be able to measure a particle's mass and its momentum.
I was being somewhat rhetorical, I understand why mass is easier to perceive but trying to foster a thought that it isn't necessarily any different.
SORCERY. WARLOCK.
Using an equation doesn't require discrete units of time. Maybe I misunderstood some of what was said.Not sure what you're asking, but my perception is that mass is stored in the protons, neutrons and electrons. What gives them mass? I dunno, but at least I can look at a hydrogen atom:
And see the proton and electron. I don't see anything there that represents velocity.
Mudcrush, if my equation is:
p1 = p0 + v * time;
Isn't using that as an equation the same as what I said? Then again you're referring to probability clouds ex monte carlo methods to so I'm not sure what you're proposing and why you'd use a probabilistic method for a discrete problem.
I thought someone was saying there was a problem with using increments of time to figure out movement. If not, then /grandgalacticinquisitor IGNOREME /offgrandgalacticinquisitor.
Ah, are you saying that a position tracking model doesn't need to run at discrete units in time ex, update every millisecond, but can instead be run from an arbitrary starting point to an arbitrary endpoint with a complete equation?
I barely remember calculus and what I remember isn't up to this. I'm sure that a formula for what you need could be derived somehow. Not by me though.If so then yeah, I agree. Some of my vehicle modeling code does propagation by moving the systems many times at discrete time steps to achieve a given time propogation which I guess is very common but I've always wanted to replace it with a single propagation but have never seriously looked into it. I've also had problems modeling ackermann vehicles that have a steering angle and a steering angle rate of change.
Since this is a science thread, I'll pose this quandary and see if anyone wants to walk me through it!!
With the conditions of the problem set up as they are, I don't think solution 1 has an answer. You end up short and hit y=10 before x=5 even at max steering rate.Ah, are you saying that a position tracking model doesn't need to run at discrete units in time ex, update every millisecond, but can instead be run from an arbitrary starting point to an arbitrary endpoint with a complete equation?
