  2. Broadband - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband

    In telecommunications, broadband or high speed is the wide-bandwidth data transmission that exploits signals at a wide spread of frequencies or several different simultaneous frequencies, and is used in fast Internet access. The transmission medium can be coaxial cable, optical fiber, wireless Internet , twisted pair cable, or satellite.

  3. Passenger rail terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_rail_terminology

    Generally, high-speed rail is defined as having a top speed in regular use of over 200 km/h (124 mph). Although almost every form of high-speed rail is electrically driven via overhead lines, this is not necessarily a defining aspect and other forms of propulsion, such as diesel locomotives, may be used.

  4. Hypervelocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervelocity

    Hypervelocity is very high velocity, approximately over 3,000 meters per second (11,000 km/h, 6,700 mph, 10,000 ft/s, or Mach 8.8). In particular, hypervelocity is velocity so high that the strength of materials upon impact is very small compared to inertial stresses. [1] Thus, metals and fluids behave alike under hypervelocity impact.

    Angular frequency (or angular speed) is the magnitude of the vector quantity that is angular velocity. The term angular frequency vector is sometimes used as a synonym for the vector quantity angular velocity. [13] One revolution is equal to 2π radians, hence [13] [14]

  6. List of high-speed railway lines - Wikipedia

    This article provides a list of operational and under construction (or approved) high-speed rail networks, listed by country or region. While the International Union of Railways defines high-speed rail as public transport by rail at speeds of at least 200 km/h (124 mph) for upgraded tracks and 250 km/h (155 mph) or faster for new tracks, this article lists all the systems and lines that ...

  8. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    Speed is the magnitude of velocity (a vector), which indicates additionally the direction of motion. Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second (m/s), but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour (km/h) or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour (mph).

  9. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    This value is the throughput averaged or integrated over a long time (sometimes considered infinity). For high duty cycle networks, this is likely to be the most accurate indicator of system performance. The maximum throughput is defined as the asymptotic throughput when the load (the amount of incoming data) is large.
