10.2 is the surround sound format developed by THX creator Tomlinson Holman of TMH Labs and the University of Southern California (schools of Cinematic Arts and Engineering). ). Developed along with Chris Kyriakakis of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, 10.2 refers to the format's slogan: "Twice as good as 5
Worm-and-gear sets are a simple and compact way to achieve a high torque, low speed gear ratio. For example, helical gears are normally limited to gear ratios of less than 10:1 while worm-and-gear sets vary from 10:1 to 500:1. [45] A disadvantage is the potential for considerable sliding action, leading to low efficiency. [46]
Many elements change how fast the car can accelerate to 60 mph. [ii] [iii] Tires, elevation above sea level, weight of the driver, testing equipment, weather conditions and surface of testing track all influence these times. [3]
This resulted in this SUV being the most powerful SUV available at the time, [12] with a fast 0–100 kilometres per hour (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 5.9 seconds. [ 13 ] FPV foreshadowed its intention to enter the SUV scene with the "P-SUV" concept car displayed at its Open Day in February 2007.
Prior to his disqualification, he had been in fourth place with a time of 9.80 seconds, the fastest fourth place in history. On 29 May 2016, former World Champion Kim Collins improved his personal record by running 9.93 +1.9 in Bottrop as a 40-year-old. He improved his own standing as the oldest man to break the 10-second barrier, the first ...
The record consisted of an independently measured 240.1 mph (386.4 km/h) two-way average with the peak speed of 243 mph (391 km/h) measured by McLaren [54] with the rev-limiter raised to 8,300 rpm. [55] As of 2022, the F1 remains the fastest naturally aspirated production car in the world, a record that has been held for 24 years.
The Ford Falcon is a full-size car that was manufactured by Ford Australia from 1960 to 2016. From the XA series of 1972 onward, each Falcon and range of derivates have been designed, developed, and built in Australia, following the phasing out of the American-influenced Falcon of 1960 to 1971, which had been re-engineered locally as the XK to XY series for the harsher Australian conditions.
High-speed rail is the fastest and most efficient ground-based method of commercial transportation. However, due to requirements for large track curves, gentle gradients and grade separated track the construction of high-speed rail is more costly than conventional rail and therefore does not always present an economical advantage over ...
