velocity increment
1Relative velocity — In kinematics, relative velocity is the vector difference between the velocities of two objects, as evaluated in terms of a single coordinate system, usually an inertial frame of reference unless specifically stated otherwise.For example, if the… …
2Escape velocity — In physics, escape velocity is the speed where the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the magnitude of its gravitational potential energy, as calculated by the equation,:U g = frac{ Gm 1m 2}{r}.It is commonly described as the speed needed to …
3Turbulence — In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a fluid regime characterized by chaotic, stochastic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid variation of pressure and velocity in space and… …
4System-specific impulse — The term System specific Impulse, I ssp is mostly used to describe the performance of jet propulsion systems. A reference number is introduced, which defines the total impulse, I tot, delivered by the system, divided by the system mass, m PS: I… …
5river — river1 riverless, adj. riverlike, adj. /riv euhr/, n. 1. a natural stream of water of fairly large size flowing in a definite course or channel or series of diverging and converging channels. 2. a similar stream of something other than water: a… …
6Thermodynamic temperature — is the absolute measure of temperature and is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic temperature is an “absolute” scale because it is the measure of the fundamental property underlying temperature: its null or zero point …
7Objective Individual Combat Weapon — OICW redirects here, for the Observatory of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, see Carnegie Institution for Science. An early XM8 mockup after the break up; became part of OICW Increment 1 The Objective Individual Combat Weapon or OICW was the …
8human development — ▪ biology Introduction the process of growth and change that takes place between birth and maturity. Human growth is far from being a simple and uniform process of becoming taller or larger. As a child (child development) gets bigger,… …
9Differential of a function — For other uses of differential in mathematics, see differential (mathematics). In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change in a function y = ƒ(x) with respect to changes in the independent variable. The… …
10Flight dynamics — is the science of air and space vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions. The three critical flight dynamics parameters are the angles of rotation in three dimensions about the vehicle s center of mass, known as pitch , roll and yaw… …
