  2. Stimpmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimpmeter

    The Stimpmeter is a device used to measure the speed of a golf course putting green by applying a known velocity to a golf ball and measuring the distance traveled in feet. History [ edit ]

  3. Golf cart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_cart

    The first electric golf cart was custom-made in 1932, but did not gain widespread acceptance. [3] In the 1930s until the 1950s the most widespread use of golf carts was for those with disabilities who could not walk far. [4] By the mid-1950s the golf cart had gained wide acceptance with US golfers. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    The whirling frequency of a symmetric cross section of a given length between two points is given by: = where: E = Young's modulus, I = second moment of area, m = mass of the shaft, L = length of the shaft between points.

  6. Topspin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topspin

    Often Bernoulli's principle is used to explain the topspin effect, as the difference in speed between ball surface and air is greater on the top of the ball. For example, if the air flowing past the bottom of the ball is moving faster than the air flowing past the top then Bernoulli's principle implies that the pressure on the surfaces of the ...

  7. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.

  8. Speed to fly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_to_fly

    The speed to fly is the optimum speed through sinking or rising air mass to achieve either the furthest glide, or fastest average cross-country speed. [1] Most speed to fly setups use units of either airspeed in kilometers per hour (km/h) and climb rate in meters per second (m/s), or airspeed in knots (kn) and climb rate in feet per minute (ft ...

  9. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed and rotational speed are related: the greater the "RPMs", the larger the speed in metres per second. Tangential speed is directly proportional to rotational speed at any fixed distance from the axis of rotation. [1] However, tangential speed, unlike rotational speed, depends on radial distance (the distance from the axis).
