  2. Negative split - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_split

    Considered by many to be among the greatest runners of all time, [11] Kenenisa Bekele has employed negative split strategies in many of his races and all of his world records. Most notably, every kilometer in his 5000 meter world-record run of 12:37 was about one second faster than the last. His splits per kilometer were 2:33, 2:32, 2:31, 2:30 ...

  3. Wien filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien_filter

    A Wien filter also known as a velocity selector is a device consisting of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields that can be used as a velocity filter for charged particles, for example in electron microscopes and spectrometers. [1] [2] It is used in accelerator mass spectrometry to select particles based on their

  4. Traffic calming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_calming

    Traffic engineers refer to three "E's" when discussing traffic calming: engineering, (community) education, and (police) enforcement.Because neighborhood traffic management studies have shown that residents often contribute to the perceived speeding problem within their neighborhoods, instructions on traffic calming (for example in Hass-Klau et al., 1992 [4]) stress that the most effective ...

  5. Relativity of simultaneity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity

    From the above equations for the Lorentz transform it can be seen that t' is constant if and only if t − vx/c 2 = constant. Thus the set of points that make t constant are different from the set of points that makes t' constant. That is, the set of events which are regarded as simultaneous depends on the frame of reference used to make the ...

  6. One-way speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light

    What can however be experimentally measured is the round-trip speed (or "two-way" speed of light) from the source to a mirror (or other method of reflection) and back again to detector. Albert Einstein chose a synchronization convention (see Einstein synchronization) that made the one-way speed equal to the two-way speed.

    Familiar fraud carries an emotional charge that fraud perpetrated by a stranger doesn’t, but you should still report it because the negative impact to your credit score and your life can be ...

  8. Transition from walking to running - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_from_walking_to...

    Humans spontaneously switch from a walk to a run as speed increases. In humans, the preferred transition speed from walking to running typically occurs around 2.0 m/s (7.2 km/h; 4.5 mph), although slight differences have been shown based on testing methodology. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  9. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    This is a different voyage than the one shown above, as both schemes take the same assumed total point-of-view time: T=12 (stay-at-home), resp τ=12 (ship), so the results of the calculated other-one's times must be different: τ=9.33 (ship), resp T=17.3 (stay at home). In the standard proper time formula
