  2. Naismith's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith's_rule

    Pace [6] in minutes per kilometre or mile vs. slope angle resulting from Naismith's rule [7] for basal speeds of 5 and 4 km / h. [n 1]The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent.

  3. Fitts's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law

    The law predicts that the time required to rapidly move to a target area is a function of the ratio between the distance to the target and the width of the target. [1] Fitts's law is used to model the act of pointing , either by physically touching an object with a hand or finger, or virtually, by pointing to an object on a computer monitor ...

  4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    In between bounces, the ball's height as a function of time is close to being a parabola, deviating from a parabolic arc because of air resistance, spin, and deformation into a non-spherical shape upon impact. If a body falls from rest near the surface of the Earth, then in the absence of air resistance, it will accelerate at a constant rate.

  5. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    In engineering and science, dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities (such as length, mass, time, and electric current) and units of measurement (such as metres and grams) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed.

  6. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g.

  7. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    d is the total horizontal distance travelled by the projectile. v is the velocity at which the projectile is launched; g is the gravitational acceleration—usually taken to be 9.81 m/s 2 (32 f/s 2) near the Earth's surface; θ is the angle at which the projectile is launched; y 0 is the initial height of the projectile

  8. Length of a module - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_of_a_module

    In algebra, the length of a module over a ring is a generalization of the dimension of a vector space which measures its size. [1] page 153 It is defined to be the length of the longest chain of submodules. For vector spaces (modules over a field), the length equals the dimension.

  9. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    As can be seen, the area of the circle defined by the intersection with the sphere of a horizontal plane located at any height equals the area of the intersection of that plane with the part of the cylinder that is "outside" of the cone; thus, applying Cavalieri's principle, it could be said that the volume of the half sphere equals the volume ...
