  2. Reachability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reachability

    A vertex can reach a vertex (and is reachable from ) if there exists a sequence of adjacent vertices (i.e. a walk) which starts with and ends with . In an undirected graph, reachability between all pairs of vertices can be determined by identifying the connected components of the graph.

  3. Asymptote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote

    In analytic geometry, an asymptote (/ ˈ æ s ɪ m p t oʊ t /) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one or both of the x or y coordinates tends to infinity. In projective geometry and related contexts, an asymptote of a curve is a line which is tangent to the curve at a point at infinity ...

  4. Reach (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reach_(mathematics)

    Shapes that have reach infinity include a single point, a straight line, a full square, and; any convex set. The graph of ƒ(x) = |x| has reach zero.

  5. Point of sail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_sail

    At 135° off the wind, a craft is on a broad reach. At 180° off the wind (sailing in the same direction as the wind), a craft is running downwind. [1] A given point of sail (beating, close reach, beam reach, broad reach, and running downwind) is defined in reference to the true wind—the wind felt by a

  6. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    When the buoyancy effects are taken into account, an object falling through a fluid under its own weight can reach a terminal velocity (settling velocity) if the net force acting on the object becomes zero. When the terminal velocity is reached the weight of the object is exactly balanced by the upward buoyancy force and drag force. That is

  7. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

  8. Gambler's ruin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_ruin

    Problem (2-1) Each player starts with 12 points, and a successful roll of the three dice for a player (getting an 11 for the first player or a 14 for the second) adds one to that player's score and subtracts one from the other player's score; the loser of the game is the first to reach zero points.

  9. Absolute zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero

    Absolute zero is the lowest limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale; a state at which the enthalpy and entropy of a cooled ideal gas reach their minimum value. The fundamental particles of nature have minimum vibrational motion, retaining only quantum mechanical, zero-point energy -induced particle motion.
