2. Naismith's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith's_rule

   Pace [6] in minutes per kilometre or mile vs. slope angle resulting from Naismith's rule [7] for basal speeds of 5 and 4 km / h. [n 1]The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent.

3. Dead reckoning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

   The basic formula for DR is Distance = Speed x Time. An aircraft flying at 250 knots airspeed for 2 hours has flown 500 nautical miles through the air. The wind triangle is used to calculate the effects of wind on heading and airspeed to obtain a magnetic heading to steer and the speed over the ground (groundspeed).

4. Velocity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

   At any particular time t, it can be calculated as the derivative of the position with respect to time: [2] = =. From this derivative equation, in the one-dimensional case it can be seen that the area under a velocity vs. time ( v vs. t graph) is the displacement, s .

5. Speed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

   The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; [2] the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity (a vector), which indicates additionally the direction of ...

6. Motion graphs and derivatives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_graphs_and_derivatives

   Since the velocity of the object is the derivative of the position graph, the area under the line in the velocity vs. time graph is the displacement of the object. (Velocity is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Multiplying the velocity by the time, the time cancels out, and only displacement remains.)

7. Mean speed theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_speed_theorem

   The mean speed theorem, also known as the Merton rule of uniform acceleration, [1] was discovered in the 14th century by the Oxford Calculators of Merton College, and was proved by Nicole Oresme. It states that a uniformly accelerated body (starting from rest, i.e. zero initial velocity) travels the same distance as a body with uniform speed ...

8. Talk:Knot (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Knot_(unit)

   The log has a line tied to it and the distance is measured by counting the number of knots tied into the line as the line passes over the stern of the vessel. The time is fixed at, say, 30 seconds. Knowing time and distance you can calculate speed = distance/time.Michael Daly 20:02, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

9. Galileo's law of odd numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_law_of_odd_numbers

   In classical mechanics and kinematics, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by a falling object in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain distance during an arbitrary time interval, it will cover 3, 5, 7, etc. times that distance ...
