WHAT DOES BRACHISTOCHRONE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Brachistochrone curve

A brachistochrone curve or curve of fastest descent, is the path that will carry a point-like body from one place to another in the least amount of time. The body is released at rest from the starting point and is constrained to move without friction along the curve to the end point, while under the action of constant gravity. The brachistochrone curve is the same as the tautochrone curve for a given starting point.

Definition of brachistochrone in the English dictionary

The definition of brachistochrone in the dictionary is the curve between two points through which a body moves under the force of gravity in a shorter time than for any other curve; the path of quickest descent.
