Thus travel time of a wave is the distance that the wave travels times the slowness of the medium ( in seismology, it refers to different layers of Earth exhibiting different densities) Thus, Slowness = 1/Velocity If we divide the path followed by the ray into N segments numbered i = 1, 2 .. N the total travel time of the wave is
The first six triangular numbers. The partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + ⋯ are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, etc.The nth partial sum is given by a simple formula
The value of the magnitude of an object's four-velocity, i.e. the quantity obtained by applying the metric tensor g to the four-velocity U, that is ‖ U ‖ 2 = U ⋅ U = g μν U ν U μ, is always equal to ±c 2, where c is the speed of light.
Slow velocity, the rate of change of position of a moving body Slow speed, in kinematics, the magnitude of the velocity of an object; Slow tempo, the speed or pace of a piece of music; Slow motion, an effect in film-making; Slow reaction rate, the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place; Slow, SLOW, Slowing or Slowness may also refer to:
When found at a liquid-solid interface, this wave is also referred to as a Scholte wave. [3] The wave is of maximum intensity at the interface and decreases exponentially away from it. It is named after the British seismologist Dr. Robert Stoneley (1894–1976), a lecturer in the University of Leeds, who discovered it on October 1, 1924. [4]

In classical mechanics and kinematics, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by a falling object in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain distance during an arbitrary time interval, it will cover 3, 5, 7, etc. times that distance ...
The idea becomes clearer by considering the general series 1 − 2x + 3x 2 − 4x 3 + 5x 4 − 6x 5 + &c. that arises while expanding the expression 1 ⁄ (1+x) 2, which this series is indeed equal to after we set x = 1.
