  2. Pikes Peak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikes_Peak

    Pikes Peak is one of Colorado's 54 fourteeners, mountains more than 14,000 feet (4,267.2 m) above sea level. The massif rises over 8,000 ft (2,400 m) above downtown Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak is a designated National Historic Landmark. It is composed of a characteristic pink granite called Pikes Peak granite.

  3. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    Just as velocities may be integrated over time to obtain a total distance, by the fundamental theorem of calculus, the total work along a path is similarly the time-integral of instantaneous power applied along the trajectory of the point of application. [23] Work is the result of a force on a point that follows a curve X, with a velocity v, at ...

  4. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

    Pressure as a function of the height above the sea level. There are two equations for computing pressure as a function of height. The first equation is applicable to the atmospheric layers in which the temperature is assumed to vary with altitude at a non null lapse rate of : = [,, ()] ′, The second equation is applicable to the atmospheric layers in which the temperature is assumed not to ...

    The Pikes Peak Lab is at the summit of Pikes Peak 14,115 feet (4,302 m) in central Colorado, USA. The summit is approximately 5 acres (2.0 ha) of relatively flat, rocky terrain and is directly and easily accessible by automobile via the Pikes Peak Highway.

  6. Topographic prominence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominence

    Figure 1. Vertical arrows show the topographic prominence of three peaks on an island. The dashed horizontal lines show the lowest contours that do not encircle higher peaks. Curved arrows point from a peak to its parent. The prominence of a peak is the least drop in height necessary in order to get from the summit to any higher terrain.

  7. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

    The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [2] [3] The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. [4] [3] The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of ...
