These are curves where some aspect of time (chronos) is equal (iso).
Two of those curves are:
- semi-cubic(al) parabola: the
vertical velocity of an object, rolling over this curve, is constant.
- cycloid: a bead rolling along the curve,
needs the same time to get down, independent from the starting point.
