liikeradan
Liikerata means the path traced by a moving object as time progresses. The genitive form liikeradan is used when describing the trajectory of a specific object, for example liikeradan ominaisuudet (properties of the trajectory). The concept is central in physics, engineering, biomechanics and computer graphics, and is commonly treated as a time-parametrized curve r(t) in two- or three-dimensional space.
In classical mechanics, the trajectory is determined by initial conditions and the forces acting on the object.
Applications of liikerata include sports science for movement analysis, robotics and automation for motion planning, computer
