  2. Counts per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counts_per_minute

    Disintegrations per minute (dpm) and disintegrations per second (dps) are measures of the activity of the source of radioactivity. The SI unit of radioactivity, the becquerel (Bq), is equivalent to one disintegration per second. This unit should not be confused with cps, which is the number of counts received by an instrument from the source.

  3. Radar mile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_mile

    To relate radar timing to distances traveled by radar energy, the speed is used to calculate it. With speed of radar waves at approximately the speed of light in vacuum or 299,792,458 metres per second (300 m/μs; 984 ft/μs) and nautical mile at 1,852 metres (6,076 ft), the delay per nautical mile until the wave return is calculated as:

  4. Preferred walking speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_walking_speed

    Many people tend to walk at about 1.42 metres per second (5.1 km/h; 3.2 mph; 4.7 ft/s). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Individuals may find slower or faster speeds uncomfortable. Horses have also demonstrated normal, narrow distributions of preferred walking speed within a given gait , which suggests that the process of speed selection may follow similar ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mounted_archery

    Each archer has two passes to complete, and each run has to be completed within 16 seconds (or penalty points are incurred). The next competition is very similar but is known as the double shot which features one target in the first 30m, slightly angled forwards, and a second target in the last 30m, slightly angled backwards.
