1angular position — noun relation by which any position with respect to any other position is established • Hypernyms: ↑position, ↑spatial relation • Hyponyms: ↑elevation, ↑EL, ↑altitude, ↑ALT, ↑depression * * * …
2Angular displacement — of a body is the angle in radians (degrees, revolutions) through which a point or line has been rotated in a specified sense about a specified axis.When an object rotates about its axis, the motion cannot simply be analyzed as a particle, since… …
3Angular velocity — Do not confuse with angular frequency The unit for angular velocity is rad/s.In physics, the angular velocity is a vector quantity (more precisely, a pseudovector) which specifies the angular speed, and axis about which an object is rotating. The …
4angular velocity — noun (physics) the rate of change of the angular position of a rotating body; usually expressed in radians per second or radians per minute • Topics: ↑physics, ↑natural philosophy • Hypernyms: ↑speed, ↑velocity …
5Angular diameter — The angular diameter or apparent size of an object as seen from a given position is the “visual diameter” of the object measured as an angle. In the vision sciences it is called the visual angle. The visual diameter is the diameter of the… …
6Angular resolution — describes the resolving power of any image forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye. Definition of terms Resolving power is the ability of the components of an imaging device to measure the angular… …
7The Structure of Scientific Revolutions — (1962), by Thomas Kuhn, is an analysis of the history of science. Its publication was a landmark event in the sociology of knowledge, and popularized the terms paradigm and paradigm shift .HistoryThe work was first published as a monograph in the …
8Position angle — Position angle, usually abbreviated PA, is a measurement derived from observing visual binary stars. It is defined as the angular offset in degrees of the secondary star to the primary, relative to the north celestial pole. As the example… …
9position ratio — noun A ratio determining the position of a point in a range or of a ray in a pencil, ie that of the distances from two fixed points in the range, or of the sines of the angular distances from two fixed rays • • • Main Entry: ↑position …
