  2. Ascribed status - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascribed_status

    The status is a position that is neither earned by the person nor chosen for them. It is given to them by either their society or group, leaving them little or no control over it. [1] Rather, the ascribed status is assigned based on social and cultural expectations, norms, and standards. These positions are occupied regardless of efforts or desire.

  3. Weapon mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapon_mount

    A swing mount is a fixed mount that allows a far greater and more flexible arc of fire than the simple pintle mount system. Utilising a system of one or two articulated arms the gunner can swing the weapon through a wide arc even though the gunner's position is fixed relative to the mount.

  4. Orientation (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(geometry)

    In general the position and orientation in space of a rigid body are defined as the position and orientation, relative to the main reference frame, of another reference frame, which is fixed relative to the body, and hence translates and rotates with it (the body's local reference frame, or local coordinate system). At least three independent ...

  5. Rigid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body

    The position of the whole body is represented by: the linear position or position of the body, namely the position of one of the particles of the body, specifically chosen as a reference point (typically coinciding with the center of mass or centroid of the body), together with; the angular position (also known as orientation, or attitude) of ...

  6. Supertask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertask

    (This could theoretically occur due to time dilation, for example if the observer were falling into a black hole while observing a counter whose position is fixed relative to the singularity.) Gustavo E. Romero in the paper 'The collapse of supertasks' [ 7 ] maintains that any attempt to carry out a supertask will result in the formation of a ...

  7. Position (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_(geometry)

    In geometry, a position or position vector, also known as location vector or radius vector, is a Euclidean vector that represents a point P in space. Its length represents the distance in relation to an arbitrary reference origin O , and its direction represents the angular orientation with respect to given reference axes.

    Jamal Murray tops the list of guards to avoid at their current cost in 2024-25 fantasy basketball leagues amid concerns about his health ahead of the season.

  9. Displacement (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(geometry)

    If one considers a moving initial position, or equivalently a moving origin (e.g. an initial position or origin which is fixed to a train wagon, which in turn moves on its rail track), the velocity of P (e.g. a point representing the position of a passenger walking on the train) may be referred to as a relative velocity; this is opposed to an ...
