  3. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, density, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a parcel of fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in either the pressure or the height above a datum. [1]:

    Peak deceleration of the Stardust Sample Return Capsule on reentry to Earth [10] 454 m/s 2: 46.2 g: Maximum acceleration a human has survived on a rocket sled [3] > 491 m/s 2 > 50 g: Death or serious injury likely [citation needed] 982 m/s 2: 100 g: Sprint missile [11] 982 m/s 2: 100 g: Automobile crash (100 km/h into wall) [12] > 982 m/s 2 > 100 g

  5. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    For example: An acceleration of 1 g equates to a rate of change in velocity of approximately 35 km/h (22 mph) for each second that elapses. Therefore, if an automobile is capable of braking at 1 g and is traveling at 35 km/h, it can brake to a standstill in one second and the driver will experience a deceleration of 1 g. The automobile ...

  6. Late-life mortality deceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late-life_mortality...

    Late-life mortality deceleration is a well-established phenomenon in insects, [1] which often spend much of their lives in a constant hazard rate region, but it is much more controversial in mammals. [2] Rodent studies have found varying conclusions, with some finding short-term periods of mortality deceleration in mice, others not finding such ...

  7. Deceleration parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deceleration_parameter

    The deceleration parameter in cosmology is a dimensionless measure of the cosmic acceleration of the expansion of space in a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker universe. It is defined by: q = d e f − a ¨ a a ˙ 2 {\displaystyle q\ {\stackrel {\mathrm {def} }{=}}\ -{\frac {{\ddot {a}}a}{{\dot {a}}^{2}}}} where a {\displaystyle a} is ...

  8. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    If the speed of the vehicle decreases, this is an acceleration in the opposite direction of the velocity vector (mathematically a negative, if the movement is unidimensional and the velocity is positive), sometimes called deceleration [4] [5] or retardation, and passengers experience the reaction to deceleration as an inertial force pushing ...

  9. Overdeepening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdeepening

    Sognefjord in Norway, the second longest fjord in the world, shows characteristic overdeepening.. Overdeepening is a characteristic of basins and valleys eroded by glaciers.An overdeepened valley profile is often eroded to depths which are hundreds of metres below the lowest continuous surface line (the thalweg) along a valley or watercourse.
