  2. Poincaré half-plane model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_half-plane_model

    The metric of the model on the half-plane, { , >}, is: = + ()where s measures the length along a (possibly curved) line. The straight lines in the hyperbolic plane (geodesics for this metric tensor, i.e., curves which minimize the distance) are represented in this model by circular arcs perpendicular to the x-axis (half-circles whose centers are on the x-axis) and straight vertical rays ...

    In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 90 m/s), [citation needed] which is almost the terminal velocity of the peregrine falcon diving down on its prey. [4] The same terminal velocity is reached for a typical .30-06 bullet dropping downwards—when it is returning to earth having been fired upwards, or ...

  4. Half-space (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-space_(geometry)

    In geometry, a half-space is either of the two parts into which a plane divides the three-dimensional Euclidean space. [1] If the space is two-dimensional, then a half-space is called a half-plane (open or closed). [2] [3] A half-space in a one-dimensional space is called a half-line [4] or ray.

  5. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    d is the total horizontal distance travelled by the projectile. v is the velocity at which the projectile is launched; g is the gravitational acceleration—usually taken to be 9.81 m/s 2 (32 f/s 2) near the Earth's surface; θ is the angle at which the projectile is launched; y 0 is the initial height of the projectile

  6. Dihedral angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_angle

    In this case, the half planes can be described by a point P of their intersection, and three vectors b 0, b 1 and b 2 such that P + b 0, P + b 1 and P + b 2 belong respectively to the intersection line, the first half plane, and the second half plane. The dihedral angle of these two half planes is defined by

  7. Angle of repose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_repose

    Stop pouring the material when the pile reaches a predetermined height or the base a predetermined width. Rather than attempt to measure the angle of the resulting cone directly, divide the height by half the width of the base of the cone. The inverse tangent of this ratio is the angle of repose.

  8. Upper half-plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_half-plane

    ⁠ The lower half-plane is the set of points ⁠ (,) ⁠ with ⁠ < ⁠ instead. Arbitrary oriented half-planes can be obtained via a planar rotation. Half-planes are an example of two-dimensional half-space. A half-plane can be split in two quadrants.

  9. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    A less tedious means of achieving dynamic balance requires just four measurements. 1) initial imbalance reading 2) an imbalance reading with a test mass attached on a reference point 3) The test mass moved to 120 degrees ahead and the imbalance again noted. 4) The test mass finally moved to 120 degrees behind the reference point.
