    Moreover, the average and the maximum velocities have been increased to 46.5 km/h and 131.3 km/h respectively. The distance covered is 23.25 km (more than double the 11 kilometers of the NEDC). [5] The key differences between the old NEDC and new WLTP test are that WLTP: [4] has higher average and maximum speeds

  3. Cost of transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_transport

    The metabolic cost of transport includes the basal metabolic cost of maintaining bodily function, and so goes to infinity as speed goes to zero. [1] A human achieves the lowest cost of transport when walking at about 6 kilometres per hour (3.7 mph), at which speed a person of 70 kilograms (150 lb) has a metabolic rate of about 450 watts. [1]

    In an incremental exercise test, it is the first speed at which any increase in exercise intensity fails to elicit an increase in oxygen consumption. The vV̇O 2 max of world class middle- and long-distance runners may exceed 24 km/h or 2:30/km pace ( 15 mph or about 4:00/mile), making this speed slightly comparable to 3000 m race pace.

  5. Hull speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_speed

    Hull speed or displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of a vessel's bow wave is equal to the waterline length of the vessel. As boat speed increases from rest, the wavelength of the bow wave increases, and usually its crest-to-trough dimension (height) increases as well. When hull speed is exceeded, a vessel in displacement mode ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

    The second case describes the relationship of horizontal sight distance on safe speed. It is the maximum speed at which a vehicle can come to a full stop before an object, with speed V i, can intercept after having emerged and traveled across the horizontal sight distance "d hsd". Urban and residential areas have horizontal sight distances that ...

    “Until the U.S. Postal Service provides us a policy or an analytic study, it appears arbitrary and capricious,” Ganulin said of the decision to move Klein’s mailbox. “The road is safer now ...

  9. Jet engine performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_engine_performance

    The wake velocity behind a turbojet-powered aircraft at subsonic speed is about 600 mph. At maximum propeller-driven speeds, the wake velocity behind the propeller it replaced as a thrust producer is about 10 mph with an insignificant RVL. [32] It is impossible to transform completely the kinetic energy acquired inside the engine into thrust work.
