  2. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    The radial speed or range rate is the temporal rate of the distance or range between the two points. It is a signed scalar quantity, formulated as the scalar projection of the relative velocity vector onto the LOS direction. Equivalently, radial speed equals the norm of the radial velocity, modulo the sign. [a]

  3. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. The next-to-last equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances. If an object fell 10 000 m to Earth, then the results of both equations differ ...

  4. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    In telecommunications and computing, bit rate ( bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. [1] The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s ), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s ...

  5. Rotational frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_frequency

    Rotational frequency, also known as rotational speed or rate of rotation (symbols ν, lowercase Greek nu, and also n), is the frequency of rotation of an object around an axis. Its SI unit is the reciprocal seconds (s −1 ); other common units of measurement include the hertz (Hz), cycles per second (cps), and revolutions per minute (rpm).

  6. Orbital speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_speed

    t. e. In gravitationally bound systems, the orbital speed of an astronomical body or object (e.g. planet, moon, artificial satellite, spacecraft, or star) is the speed at which it orbits around either the barycenter or, if one body is much more massive than the other bodies of the system combined, its speed relative to the center of mass of the ...

  7. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    Convergence definitions. Suppose that the sequence converges to the number . The sequence is said to converge with order to , and with a rate of convergence [3] of , if. (Definition 1) for some positive constant if , and if . [4] [5] It is not necessary, however, that be an integer.

  8. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min−1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines. One revolution per minute is equivalent to 1 60 hertz .

  9. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    When talking about circuit bit rates, people will interchangeably use the terms throughput, bandwidth and speed, and refer to a circuit as being a '64 k' circuit, or a '2 meg' circuit — meaning 64 kbit/s or 2 Mbit/s (see also the List of connection bandwidths). However, a '64 k' circuit will not transmit a '64 k' file in one second.
