  2. Mobbing (animal behavior) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobbing_(animal_behavior)

    This call occurs in the 4.5kHz range, [5] and carries over long distances. However, when prey species are in flight, they employ an alarm signal in the 7–8 kHz range. This call is less effective at traveling great distances, but is much more difficult for both owls and hawks to hear (and detect the direction from which the call came). [19]

  3. Ballistic table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_table

    Example of a ballistic table for a given 7.62×51mm NATO load. Bullet drop and wind drift are shown both in mrad and MOA.. A ballistic table or ballistic chart, also known as the data of previous engagements (DOPE) chart, is a reference data chart used in long-range shooting to predict the trajectory of a projectile and compensate for physical effects of gravity and wind drift, in order to ...

  4. Man overboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_overboard

    Rescue (MOB on a boat) "Man overboard!" is an exclamation given aboard a vessel to indicate that a member of the crew or a passenger has fallen off of the ship into the water and is in need of immediate rescue. Whoever sees the person fall is to shout, "Man overboard!"

  5. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    For astronomical bodies other than Earth, and for short distances of fall at other than "ground" level, g in the above equations may be replaced by (+) where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the astronomical body, m is the mass of the falling body, and r is the radius from the falling object to the center of the astronomical body.

  6. Crowd psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_psychology

    The psychology of a crowd is a collective behaviour realised by the individuals within it. A category of social psychology known as "crowd psychology" or "mob psychology" examines how the psychology of a group of people differs from the psychology of any one person within the group.

  7. Free fall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall

    The data is in good agreement with the predicted fall time of /, where h is the height and g is the free-fall acceleration due to gravity. Near the surface of the Earth, an object in free fall in a vacuum will accelerate at approximately 9.8 m/s 2 , independent of its mass .

  8. Fall factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_factor

    The climber will fall about the same height h in both cases, but they will be subjected to a greater force at position 1, due to the greater fall factor.. In lead climbing using a dynamic rope, the fall factor (f) is the ratio of the height (h) a climber falls before the climber's rope begins to stretch and the rope length (L) available to absorb the energy of the fall,

  9. Free-fall time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-fall_time

    The free-fall time is the characteristic time that would take a body to collapse under its own gravitational attraction, if no other forces existed to oppose the collapse. As such, it plays a fundamental role in setting the timescale for a wide variety of astrophysical processes—from star formation to helioseismology to supernovae —in which ...
