  2. Limits of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_of_stability

    In simpler terms, LoS represents the maximum distance an individual can intentionally sway in any direction without losing balance or needing to take a step. [2] The typical range of stable swaying is approximately 12.5° in the front-back (antero-posterior) direction and 16° in the side-to-side (medio-lateral) direction. [ 3 ]

  3. Directional derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_derivative

    In multivariable calculus, the directional derivative measures the rate at which a function changes in a particular direction at a given point. [citation needed]The directional derivative of a multivariable differentiable (scalar) function along a given vector v at a given point x intuitively represents the instantaneous rate of change of the function, moving through x with a direction ...

  4. Geometric terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_terms_of_location

    Common geometric terms of location are: Radial (solid and colored lines) and circumferential roads (dashed and gray lines) in Metro Manila's road network. Axial – along the center of a round body, or the axis of rotation of a body; Radial – along a direction pointing along a radius from the center of an object, or perpendicular to a curved ...

  5. Directional stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_stability

    Directional stability is stability of a moving body or vehicle about an axis which is perpendicular to its direction of motion. Stability of a vehicle concerns itself with the tendency of a vehicle to return to its original direction in relation to the oncoming medium (water, air, road surface, etc.) when disturbed (rotated) away from that original direction.

  6. Minimum control speeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_Control_Speeds

    Most test pilot schools use multiple, more specific minimum control speeds, as V MC will change depending on the stage of flight. Other defined V MC s include minimum control speed on the ground (V MCG ) and minimum control speed during approach and landing (V MCL ).

  7. Spatial relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_relation

    An internal directional relation specifies where an object is located inside the reference object while an external relations specifies where the object is located outside of the reference objects. Examples for internal directional relations: left; on the back; athwart, abaft

  8. Direction (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_(geometry)

    Three line segments with the same direction. In geometry, direction, also known as spatial direction or vector direction, is the common characteristic of all rays which coincide when translated to share a common endpoint; equivalently, it is the common characteristic of vectors (such as the relative position between a pair of points) which can be made equal by scaling (by some positive scalar ...

  9. Directional statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_statistics

    Directional statistics (also circular statistics or spherical statistics) is the subdiscipline of statistics that deals with directions (unit vectors in Euclidean space, R n), axes (lines through the origin in R n) or rotations in R n. More generally, directional statistics deals with observations on compact Riemannian manifolds including the ...
