velocity stability
1Stability derivatives — are a means of linearising the equations of motion of an atmospheric flight vehicle so that conventional control engineering methods may be applied to assess their stability.The dynamics of atmospheric flight vehicles is potentially very… …
2stability — is best defined as the opposite of instability, which is the occurrence of large structural deformations which are not the result of material failure. Note: passenger vehicles exhibit varying characteristics depending upon test conditions and… …
3Velocity of money — Chart showing the log of US M2[1][2] money velocity (green), calculated by dividing nominal GDP by M2 stock, M1 plus time deposits. M2 velocity is not stable and correlates with the Employment Population ratio (blue), an indicator of economic… …
4Directional stability — is stability of a moving body or vehicle about an axis which is perpendicular to its direction of motion. Stability of a vehicle concerns itself with the tendency of a vehicle to return to its original direction in relation to the oncoming medium …
5Plasma stability — An important field of plasma physics is the stability of the plasma. It usually only makes sense to analyze the stability of a plasma once it has been established that the plasma is in equilibrium. Equilibrium asks whether there are net forces… …
6high-velocity drop — A drop procedure in which the drop velocity is greater than 30 ft per second (i.e., a low velocity drop, and lower than a free drop velocity). In a high velocity drop, conventional parachutes cannot be used, and other methods of retarding and… …
7High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher — The High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) is a high precision echelle spectrograph installed in 2002 on ESO s 3.6m telescope at La Silla Observatory, with first light achieved February 2003. It is a second generation radial… …
8Flight 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… …
9Explosive material — A number of 1.25lb M112 Demolition Charges, consisting of a C 4 compound, sit atop degraded weaponry scheduled for destruction An explosive material, also called an explosive, is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential… …
10Gyro monorail — The gyro monorail, gyroscopic monorail, gyro stabilized monorail, or gyrocar all denote a single rail land vehicle, road or rail, which uses the gyroscopic action of a spinning wheel, which is forced to precess, to overcome the inherent inverted… …
