    3.3–5.0 × 10 −9 Average walking speed—below a speed of about 2 m/s, it is more efficient to walk than to run, but above that speed, it is more efficient to run. 2.39

  3. Speed of gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity

    Putting the Sun immobile at the origin, when the Earth is moving in an orbit of radius R with velocity v presuming that the gravitational influence moves with velocity c, moves the Sun's true position ahead of its optical position, by an amount equal to vR/c, which is the travel time of gravity from the sun to the Earth times the relative ...

  6. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    Tangential speed is the speed of an object undergoing circular motion, i.e., moving along a circular path. [1] A point on the outside edge of a merry-go-round or turntable travels a greater distance in one complete rotation than a point nearer the center. Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed ...

    Say you have a 4-year-old Labrador named Comet — with the new equation, Comet's real "dog age" would be slightly older than 53. The reason for the difference is actually pretty simple.

  9. Cost of transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_transport

    Alternatively, one can use the power input to the system used to move the system at a constant velocity . The cost of transport is non-dimensional. The cost of transport is non-dimensional. It is also called specific tractive force or specific resistance (see von Kármán–Gabrielli diagram ), or the energy index.
