The action is defined by integrating the Lagrangian with respect to this quantity.
A displacement in this parameter is a trivial example of a continuous canonical transformation. Binet's ("beeÂ­nay's") equation is used to compute solutions to the Kepler problem that do not depend explicitly on this parameter. Hamilton's principal function is differentiated with respect to this quantity in theHamiltonÂ–Jacobi equation. Virtual displacements are taken with this value (*) fixed. The invariance of the Lagrangian under translation in this parameter leads to conservation of energy. The action is defined by integrating the Lagrangian with respect to this quantity. The rightÂ­hand side of Newton's second law contains a second derivative with respect to this quantity. For 10 points, velocity is obtained by differentiating position with respect to what quantity?
