100 Up A game of bowls where the object is to reach a score of 100 shots.Usually used in games based on a proportional scoring system. 2 Metre mark The furthermost position that the jack can be placed following the lead bowler rolling the jack at the start of an end.
For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. [2] Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant.
Proportional control, in engineering and process control, is a type of linear feedback control system in which a correction is applied to the controlled variable, and the size of the correction is proportional to the difference between the desired value (setpoint, SP) and the measured value (process variable, PV).
Example: "a three-board drift to the left". One source calls this definition "lateral movement" and asserts that drift is more properly defined as unwanted variation away from a consistent desired lateral movement. [51] Dry (esp. dry lane(s)): Adjective describing a lane, or a portion of a lane, that has little or no lubricating oil.
Bowls, also known as lawn bowls or lawn bowling, is a sport in which players try to roll their ball (called a bowl) closest to a smaller ball (known as a "jack" or sometimes a "kitty"). The bowls are shaped (biased), so that they follow a curved path when being rolled.
The Athletic's sports media critic Richard Deitsch after a Week 2 Saints-Cowboys game: "Brady is still coming to the replays a little late, he seems reticent to criticize coaches, and we still don ...
The variable y is directly proportional to the variable x with proportionality constant ~0.6. The variable y is inversely proportional to the variable x with proportionality constant 1. In mathematics, two sequences of numbers, often experimental data, are proportional or directly proportional if their corresponding elements have a constant ratio.
Playa Bowls, a New Jersey-based chain with locations in the Atlanta area, will open its first Athens franchise in the Beechwood Shopping Center as part of the retail park's new mixed-use development.
