  2. Distance from a point to a plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    In either the coordinate or vector formulations, one may verify that the given point lies on the given plane by plugging the point into the equation of the plane. To see that it is the closest point to the origin on the plane, observe that p {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} } is a scalar multiple of the vector v {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} } defining ...

  3. Top of descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_descent

    The top of descent may be calculated manually as long as distance, air speed, and current altitude are known. This can be done by finding the difference between current altitude and desired altitude, dividing the result by the desired rate of descent , and then multiplying that figure by the quotient of the ground speed (not airspeed) and 60.

    To adjust a 1 ⁄ 4 MOA scope 3 MOA down and 1.5 MOA right, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 x 4 = 12 clicks down and 1.5 × 4 = 6 clicks right; To adjust a 1 ⁄ 8 MOA scope 3 MOA down and 1.5 MOA right, the scope needs to be adjusted 3 x 8 = 24 clicks down and 1.5 × 8 = 12 clicks right; Comparison of minute of arc (MOA) and milliradian (mrad).

  5. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    Points are at 0.05 s intervals and length of their tails is linearly proportional to their speed. t = time from launch, T = time of flight, R = range and H = highest point of trajectory (indicated with arrows). The range, R, is the greatest distance the object travels along the x-axis in the I sector.

  6. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The distance (or perpendicular distance) from a point to a line is the shortest distance from a fixed point to any point on a fixed infinite line in Euclidean geometry. It is the length of the line segment which joins the point to the line and is perpendicular to the line. The formula for calculating it can be derived and expressed in several ways.

  9. Distance of closest approach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_of_closest_approach

    Here an algorithm is developed to determine this distance, based on the analytic results for the distance of closest approach of ellipses in 2D, which can be implemented numerically. Details are given in publications. [14] [15] Subroutines are provided in two formats: Fortran90 [16] and C. [17] The algorithm consists of three steps.
