  2. Taxicab geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry

    This different definition of distance also leads to a different definition of the length of a curve, for which a line segment between any two points has the same length as a grid path between those points rather than its Euclidean length. The taxicab distance is also sometimes known as rectilinear distance or L 1 distance (see L p space). [1]

  3. Charge density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density

    Volume charge density (symbolized by the Greek letter ρ) is the quantity of charge per unit volume, measured in the SI system in coulombs per cubic meter (C⋅m −3), at any point in a volume. [1] [2] [3] Surface charge density (σ) is the quantity of charge per unit area, measured in coulombs per square meter (C⋅m −2), at any point on a ...

  4. Kilometre per square kilometre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilometre_per_square_kilometre

    Kilometre per square kilometre is an SI derived unit of reciprocal length used for measurement of density of a linear feature in an area. It is used to measure, for example, drainage density [ 1 ] or road density (i.e. kilometres of road per square kilometre of land).

  5. Taxis of the United States - Wikipedia

    The rates for a Yellow Cab in Pittsburgh as of September, 2011 are an initial charge of $3.35 plus $0.25 per 1/7 of a mile, plus $0.25 for each minute of waiting time. In trips over 20 miles, the meter will automatically begin calculating the distance following the initial 20 miles at $0.50 per 1/7 mile.

    Specific surface energy, free energy per unit surface area; Length-specific quantity, the quotient of a physical quantity and length ("per unit length"), also called lineic quantities: [2] Linear charge density, charge per unit length; Linear mass density, mass per unit length; Linear number density, number of entities per unit length

  7. Taxi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi

    Taxi fares are set by the state and city where they are permitted to operate. The fare includes the 'drop', a set amount that is tallied for getting into the taxi plus the 'per kilometer' rate as has been set by the city. The taxi meters track time as well as distance in an average taxi fare.

    It’s not that finding the perfect partner is impossible, per se, ... What’s most interesting, however, is how the Taxi Cab Theory (circa 2000) echos today’s swipe-right to settle lifespan.

  9. Taximeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taximeter

    A taximeter or fare meter is a mechanical or electronic device installed in taxicabs and auto rickshaws that calculates passenger fares based on a combination of distance travelled and waiting time. Its shortened form, "taxi", is also a metonym for the hired cars that use them. [1] [2]
