  2. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    [1] This pattern consists of two wake lines that form the arms of a chevron, V, with the source of the wake at the vertex of the V. For sufficiently slow motion, each wake line is offset from the path of the wake source by around arcsin(1/3) = 19.47° and is made up of feathery wavelets angled at roughly 53° to the path.

  3. Outline of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_physics

    Physics – natural science that involves the study of matter [1] and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. [2] More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature , conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.

    [1] This pattern consists of two wake lines that form the arms of a chevron, V, with the source of the wake at the vertex of the V. For sufficiently slow motion, each wake line is offset from the path of the wake source by around arcsin(1/3) = 19.47° and is made up of feathery wavelets angled at roughly 53° to the path.

    A 2019 nationally representative survey of 95,505 freshmen at U.S. colleges, conducted by the UCLA Higher Education Research Institute, asked respondents, "During your last year in high school, how much time did you spend during a typical week studying/doing homework?" 1.9% of respondents said none, 7.4% said less than one hour, 19.5% said 1 ...

  6. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

  7. BF model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BF_model

    The BF model or BF theory is a topological field, which when quantized, becomes a topological quantum field theory.BF stands for background field B and F, as can be seen below, are also the variables appearing in the Lagrangian of the theory, which is helpful as a mnemonic device.

  8. Ship motions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_motions

    The vertical/Z axis, or yaw axis, is an imaginary line running vertically through the ship and through its centre of mass.A yaw motion is a side-to side movement of the bow and stern of the ship.

  9. Velocity prediction program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_prediction_program

    A velocity prediction program (VPP) is a computer program which solves for the performance of a sailing yacht in various wind conditions by balancing hull and sail forces. VPPs are used by yacht designers, boat builders, model testers, sailors, sailmakers, also America's Cup teams, to predict the performance of a sailboat before it has been built or prior to major modifications.
