unusual facts about velocity


Velocity, Inc.

In 2008, a power failure and crash of a Velocity undergoing initial testing at North Las Vegas Airport brought national attention to homebuilt aircraft testing.


.325 Winchester Short Magnum

Maximum muzzle velocity comparison in % of the probably most proliferated European and American 8 mm rifle cartridges out of 650 mm (25.59 in) long barrels loaded with relatively light to heavy 8 mm bullets to their CIP or SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute) sanctioned maximum pressures.

Furthermore, the low velocity allowed for the use of explosives like Ammonium Nitrate-Carbon that were less shock-resistant than TNT, which was in short supply.

7.5×55mm Swiss

At 780 m/s (2560 ft/s) muzzle velocity the standard GP 11 ball bullet retained supersonic velocity up to 800 m (875 yards) (V800Mach 1.1) under ICAO Standard Atmosphere conditions at sea level (air density ρ = 1.225 kg/m3).

Accumulated cyclone energy

Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity, and by adding together the energy per some interval of time, the accumulated energy is found.

Anthony Glavin

Anthony was haunted by the fact that his birth-date, 7 August 1945 (a Bank Holiday in Ireland), was just one day after Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima; that his coming into the world coincided with an event that abruptly altered the world's "historical velocity."

Barkhausen–Kurz tube

In 1920, Heinrich Barkhausen and Karl Kurz at the Technische Hochschule in Dresden, Germany used the velocity modulation theory in developing the retarded-field triode that could provide UHF operation.

Bat algorithm

The idealization of the echolocation of microbats can be summarized as follows: Each virtual bat flies randomly with a velocity v i at position (solution) x i with a varying frequency or wavelength and loudness A i.

Blood flow

The velocity of blood flow is often expressed in cm/s, this value is inversely related to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels, and also differs per cross-sections, because in normal condition the blood flow has laminar characteristic.

Chip Foose

Chip Foose (born October 13, 1963 in Santa Barbara) is an American hot rod shop owner, automotive designer and fabricator, and star of the reality TV series Overhaulin' on Velocity.

Overhaulin' was canceled at the end of 2009, though reruns still air on Discovery Turbo. Shortly following the launch of the channel Velocity, it was announced that Overhaulin' would return in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Colin Brake

Brake followed Escape Velocity with the Past Doctor Adventure The Colony of Lies in July 2003, and then with the audio adventure Three's a Crowd from Big Finish Productions in 2005.

Didier Queloz

Queloz performed an analysis on 51 Pegasi using radial velocity measurements (Doppler effect), and was astonished to find a planet with an orbital period of 4.2 days.

Dombey and Son

In the novel Velocity by Dean Koontz, the comatose wife of the main protagonist often makes incoherent references to the works of Dickens, the 'most mysterious' coming from Dombey and Son, "I want to know what it says, the sea. What it is that it keeps on saying."

Doppler radar

Normally it is one or the other; a radar designed for detecting targets from zero to Mach 2 does not have a high resolution in speed, while a radar designed for high resolution velocity measurements does not have a wide range of speeds.

Dunk Yer Funk Records

Other less known artists were released on the label, but one in specific would become a classic; "Velocity, Speed and Force" by VSF (which was produced by J-vibe).

Electrodynamic droplet deformation

Using the streamfunction solution, Torza derived analytical expressions for the velocity fields that could be used to derive analytical expressions for hydrodynamic stress on the interface for incompressible Newtonian fluids.

EXW

Explosion welding, a solid state process where welding is accomplished by accelerating one of the components at extremely high velocity through the use of chemical explosives

Frances Simpson Stevens

Very little of Stevens' art has survived, one work that has is Dynamic Velocity of Interborough Rapid Transit Power Station at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Ghavam Shahidi

He studied electrical engineering at MIT, where he wrote a PhD thesis on "velocity overshoot in deeply scaled MOSFETs", under supervision of Professor Dimitri Antoniadis.

HD 86226

Due to the reactions it had when placed under a Doppler test, 13 Magellan Doppler Velocity observations were made of an object found near the star.

Here Comes Science

Here Comes Science features the songs "I Am a Paleontologist" and "Speed and Velocity", on which bass guitarist Danny Weinkauf and drummer Marty Beller sing their own compositions (respectively).

Intermediate cartridge

Since the 1960s NATO, the (former) Warsaw Pact, the People's Republic of China and other countries adapted relatively small sized, light weight, high velocity military intermediate service cartridges in the form of the 5.56×45mm NATO, Soviet 5.45×39mm and Chinese 5.8×42mm.

James Richard Haskell

James Richard Haskell was an American inventor chiefly remembered for his invention (with Azel S. Lyman) of a multi-charge gun which was intended to increase muzzle velocity by detonating additional propellant charges behind the projectile or shell as it moved up the gun's barrel and was a distant ancestor of the World War II German V-3 "supergun".

Jim Malloy

In the 1970 Indianapolis 500, his car broke a rear constant velocity joint and hit the 4th turn wall at the end of the pace lap, putting himself out of the race even before the start.

Keytar

Also in 2010, Mad Catz released the Wireless Pro Keyboard for Rock Band 3, a 25-key velocity-sensitive MIDI-compatible keytar controller.

Miller twist rule

For example he states that assuming a mach number of M = 2.5 (or roughly 2800 ft/sec assuming standard conditions at sea level where 1 Mach is roughly 1116 ft/sec) is a safe value to use in regards to velocity.

Modified Newtonian dynamics

MoND was proposed by Mordehai Milgrom in 1983 as a way to model this observed uniform velocity data.

Piaggio P.108

This weapon has only been superseded in calibre, on aircraft, by the low velocity 105 mm (4 in) modified M102 howitzer (23 calibres in length) carried on a mobile mounting in the flanks of the AC-130's 3.2 m (10.5 ft) wide fuselage.

Proper motion

Currently, the nearby star with the largest true velocity (relative to the Sun) is Wolf 424 which moves at 555 km/s (or 1/540 of the speed of light).

SAM-N-2 Lark

Six of the Convair airframes were given to Raytheon to explore use of velocity-gated continuous wave doppler radar for guided missile target seekers, while most other United States investigators used range-gated pulse radar.

Shear wave splitting

Hess observed, from previous seismic velocity experiments with olivine crystals, that if the crystals had even a slight statistical orientation this would be extremely evident in the seismic velocities recorded using seismic refraction.

SN 2008ha

The low expansion velocity of SN2008ha resulted in relatively small Doppler broadening of spectral emission lines and this led to higher quality data.

Spaceport America

In May 2013, SpaceX announced that they had signed a three-year lease for land and facilities at Spaceport America in order to support high-altitude, high-velocity flight testing of the Grasshopper v1.1 reusable launch vehicle (RLV), the second-generation of the SpaceX experimental vertical takeoff, vertical landing suborbital technology-demonstrator.

"In The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway describes genius as the ability to learn at a greater velocity. For a suicidal drunk with a pathological fear of latent homosexuality, Papa did all right."

The Velocity of Gary

The Velocity of Gary, also known as The Velocity of Gary* *(Not His Real Name), is a 1999 American dramatic comedy film directed by Dan Ireland and written by James Still, based on his homonymous play.

He lost his hearing in the 1950s when testing a high Muzzle velocity Rifle for the British Army, until recently, when surgery to fit a cochlear implant allowed him to recover some of his hearing.

Unladen Swallow

Like many things regarding the Python language, "Unladen Swallow" is a Monty Python reference, specifically to the gag about the airspeed velocity of unladen swallows in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
