  2. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    This speed is the asymptotic limiting value of the speed, and the forces acting on the body balance each other more and more closely as the terminal speed is approached. In this example, a speed of 50.0% of terminal speed is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99%, and so on.

  3. vVO2max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVO2max

    In an incremental exercise test, it is the first speed at which any increase in exercise intensity fails to elicit an increase in oxygen consumption. The vV̇O 2 max of world class middle- and long-distance runners may exceed 24 km/h or 2:30/km pace ( 15 mph or about 4:00/mile), making this speed slightly comparable to 3000 m race pace.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Measurements of neutrino speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurements_of_neutrino_speed

    with v being the neutrino speed and c the speed of light. The neutrino mass m is currently estimated as being 2 eV /c², and is possibly even lower than 0.2 eV/c². According to the latter mass value and the formula for relativistic energy, relative speed differences between light and neutrinos are smaller at high energies, and should arise as ...

  6. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann...

    The most probable speed, v p, is the speed most likely to be possessed by any molecule (of the same mass m) in the system and corresponds to the maximum value or the mode of f(v). To find it, we calculate the derivative ⁠, ⁠ set it to zero and solve for v: () = [] / [] ⁡ = with the solution: =; = = where:

  7. Tractive effort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractive_effort

    The term tractive effort is often qualified as starting tractive effort, continuous tractive effort and maximum tractive effort.These terms apply to different operating conditions, but are related by common mechanical factors: input torque to the driving wheels, the wheel diameter, coefficient of friction (μ) between the driving wheels and supporting surface, and the weight applied to the ...

  9. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    Siacci found that within a low-velocity restricted zone, projectiles of similar shape, and velocity in the same air density behave similarly; or . Siacci used the variable for ballistic coefficient. Meaning, air density is the generally the same for flat-fire trajectories, thus sectional density is equal to the ballistic coefficient and air ...
