Geographic coordinate conversion has applications in cartography, surveying, navigation and geographic information systems. In geodesy, geographic coordinate conversion is defined as translation among different coordinate formats or map projections all referenced to the same geodetic datum. [1] A geographic coordinate transformation is a ...
km/h. 1.0973. The foot per second (plural feet per second) is a unit of both speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantity, which includes direction). [1] It expresses the distance in feet (ft) traveled or displaced, divided by the time in seconds (s). [2] The corresponding unit in the International System of Units (SI) is the meter per second.
At its native 24 FPS rate, film could not be displayed on 60 Hz video without the necessary pulldown process, often leading to "judder": To convert 24 frames per second into 60 frames per second, every odd frame is repeated, playing twice, while every even frame is tripled. This creates uneven motion, appearing stroboscopic.
In radar -related subjects and in JTIDS, a data mile is a unit of distance equal to 6,000 feet (1,829 metres; 0.9875 nautical miles; 1.136 miles). An international mile is 0.88 data mile. The speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second (983,571,056 ft/s), or about one foot per nanosecond. If it were exactly one foot per nanosecond, and a ...
A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. [2] [3] [4] Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute ( 1 / 60 of a degree) of latitude at the equator, so that Earth's polar circumference is very near to 21,600 nautical miles (that is 60 minutes × 360 degrees).
The shutter rotation is synchronized with film being pulled through the gate, hence shutter speed is a function of the frame rate and shutter angle. Where E = shutter speed (reciprocal of exposure time in seconds), F = frames per second, and S = shutter angle: [15] =, for E in reciprocal seconds
Physical system of measurement that uses the foot, pound, and second as base units. The foot–pound–second system (FPS system) is a system of units built on three fundamental units: the foot for length, the (avoirdupois) pound for either mass or force (see below), and the second for time. [1]
v. t. e. A rotating frame of reference is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame that is rotating relative to an inertial reference frame. An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see Euler angles.)
