  2. Adverse yaw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_yaw

    Adverse yaw is a secondary effect of the inclination of the lift vectors on the wing due to its rolling velocity and of the application of the ailerons. [2]: 327 Some pilot training manuals focus mainly on the additional drag caused by the downward-deflected aileron [3] [4] and make only brief [5] or indirect [6] mentions of roll effects.

    To test Miller's assertion, Hammar conducted the following experiment using a common-path interferometer in 1935. [7] [8] Using a half-silvered mirror A, he divided a ray of white light into two half-rays. One half-ray was sent in the transverse direction into a heavy walled steel pipe terminated with lead plugs.

    The entirety of the game is confined to one motel room. The player can move around within it and interact with a handful of objects. At certain points, the Clickold gives orders such as requesting that the player stand in certain areas of the room. The player is unable to click the counter until they comply with the requests.

  6. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    It is inversely proportional to the negative acceleration: a high number indicates a low negative acceleration—the drag on the body is small in proportion to its mass. BC can be expressed with the units kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m 2 ) or pounds per square inch (lb/in 2 ) (where 1 lb/in 2 corresponds to 703.069 581 kgf/m 2 ).

  7. Drag count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_count

    A drag count is a dimensionless unit used by aerospace engineers. 1 drag count is equal to a of 0.0001. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] As the drag forces present on automotive vehicles are smaller than for aircraft, 1 drag count is commonly referred to as 0.0001 of C d {\displaystyle C_{d}} .

    Some games allow the use of the "Back" button but count this as a link clicked. Players may be restricted in the extent to which they are allowed to read the text of the destination page. Of course, the game would be virtually impossible without some reading of the destination, but it can be made more challenging by, for example, disallowing ...

  9. Mouse button - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_button

    A mouse click is the action of pressing (i.e. 'clicking', an onomatopoeia) a button to trigger an action, usually in the context of a graphical user interface (GUI). “Clicking” an onscreen button is accomplished by pressing on the real mouse button while the pointer is placed over the onscreen button's icon.
