Motion and Sphere Calculus Comparison
Motion Equations
- Acceleration (a) = dv/dt
- Velocity (v) = ∫a dt = dx/dt
- Distance (x) = ∫v dt
Speed appears to be one side of a square of KE.
Sphere Geometry
- Volume = (4/3)πr³
- Surface Area = 4πr²
- Circumference = 2πr
The Parallel Structure
Dimensional Progression
Motion:
- Distance (1D)
- Velocity (1D + time)
- Acceleration (1D + time²)
Sphere:
- Circumference (1D)
- Surface Area (2D)
- Volume (3D)
Calculus Relationships
Motion: Sphere: ∫a dt = v ∫(volume) dr = area ∫v dt = x ∫(area) dr = circumference d/dt(x) = v d/dr(volume) = area d/dt(v) = a d/dr(area) = circumference
