  2. Coriolis force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_force

    where is the Coriolis parameter ⁡, introduced above (where is the latitude). The time taken for the mass to complete a full circle is therefore 2 π / f {\displaystyle 2\pi /f} . The Coriolis parameter typically has a mid-latitude value of about 10 −4 s −1 ; hence for a typical atmospheric speed of 10 m/s (22 mph), the radius is 100 km ...

  3. Rotating black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_black_hole

    Rotating black hole. A rotating black hole is a black hole that possesses angular momentum. In particular, it rotates about one of its axes of symmetry. All celestial objects – planets, stars (Sun), galaxies, black holes – spin. [1][2][3] The boundaries of a Kerr black hole relevant to astrophysics. Note that there are no physical "surfaces ...

  4. Callback (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callback_(computer...

    A callback is often back on the level of the original caller. In computer programming, a callback is a function that is stored as data (a reference) and designed to be called by another function – often back to the original abstraction layer. A function that accepts a callback parameter may be designed to call back before returning to its ...

  5. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    When these assumptions are satisfied, the following covariance matrix K applies for the 1D profile parameters , , and under i.i.d. Gaussian noise and under Poisson noise: [8] = , = , where is the width of the pixels used to sample the function, is the quantum efficiency of the detector, and indicates the standard deviation of the measurement noise.

  6. Query string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_string

    A query string is a part of a uniform resource locator (URL) that assigns values to specified parameters. A query string commonly includes fields added to a base URL by a Web browser or other client application, for example as part of an HTML document, choosing the appearance of a page, or jumping to positions in multimedia content. An address ...

  7. Precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession

    Precession. Nutation. in obliquity of a planet. Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. In an appropriate reference frame it can be defined as a change in the first Euler angle, whereas the third Euler angle defines the rotation itself. In other words, if the axis of rotation of a body is itself ...

  8. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    The defining feature of a black hole is the appearance of an event horizon—a boundary in spacetime through which matter and light can pass only inward towards the mass of the black hole. Nothing, not even light, can escape from inside the event horizon.

  9. Parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter

    A parameter (from Ancient Greek παρά (pará) 'beside, subsidiary' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure'), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when ...
