  2. Mount Thor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Thor

    The mountain is located 46 km (29 mi) northeast of Pangnirtung and features Earth's greatest vertical drop of 1,200 m (4,100 ft), with the cliff overhanging at an average angle of 105 degrees (15 degrees from vertical). [6] Despite its remoteness, this feature makes the mountain a popular rock climbing site. Camping is allowed, with several ...

  3. Brachistochrone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve

    The curve of fastest descent is not a straight or polygonal line (blue) but a cycloid (red).. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), [1] or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides ...

    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. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances.

    Below is the table of the vertex numbers for the best-known graphs (as of June 2024) in the undirected degree diameter problem for graphs of degree at most 3 ≤ d ≤ 16 and diameter 2 ≤ k ≤ 10. Only a few of the graphs in this table (marked in bold) are known to be optimal (that is, largest possible).

  9. Raindrop size distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raindrop_size_distribution

    = 4.1 R −0.21 mm −1 (equivalent to 41 R −0.21 cm −1 in the reference [4]), R being the rainrate in stratiform precipitation in millimeters per hour; D = raindrop diameter in mm; The units of N 0 are sometimes simplified to cm −4 but this removes the information that this value is calculated per cubic meter of air.
