    2 O, are not co-linear (a co-linear triatomic gas such as CO 2 is equivalent to a diatomic gas for our purposes here); T is the absolute temperature; M is the molar mass of the gas. The mean molar mass for dry air is about 0.02897 kg/mol (28.97 g/mol); n is the number of moles; m is the mass of a single molecule.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_mile

    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 .

    0.51444 metres per second (approximately), 1.15078 miles per hour (approximately), 20.25372 inches per second (approximately) 1.68781 feet per second (approximately). The length of the internationally agreed nautical mile is 1 852 m. The US adopted the international definition in 1954, having previously used the US nautical mile (1 853.248 m). [6]

    kilometre (km) or kilometer is a metric unit used, outside the US, to measure the length of a journey; the international statute mile (mi) is used in the US; 1 mi = 1.609344 km; nautical mile is rarely used to derive units of transportation quantity.

  7. Nautical mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautical_mile

    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).

    Starting in 2005 (under the GP2 Series name), Formula 2 cars were powered by 4.0 litres (244 cubic inches) V8, four-stroke piston, Otto cycle unleaded gasoline-burning, prototype production-based, naturally-aspirated engines, produced by Mecachrome. Per Formula 2 rules, the engines sold for no more than €70,000 and were rev-limited to 10,000 rpm.

  9. Escape velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity

    G is the universal gravitational constant (G ≈ 6.67 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2 ‍ [4]) g = GM/d 2 is the local gravitational acceleration (or the surface gravity, when d = r). The value GM is called the standard gravitational parameter, or μ, and is often known more accurately than either G or M separately.
