  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    Slope may still be expressed when the horizontal run is not known: the rise can be divided by the hypotenuse (the slope length). This is not the usual way to specify slope; this nonstandard expression follows the sine function rather than the tangent function, so it calls a 45 degree slope a 71 percent grade instead of a 100 percent.

  3. Roof pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_pitch

    The pitch of a roof is its vertical 'rise' over its horizontal 'run’ (i.e. its span), also known as its 'slope'. In the imperial measurement systems, "pitch" is usually expressed with the rise first and run second (in the US, run is held to number 12; [1] e.g., 3:12, 4:12, 5:12). In metric systems either the angle in degrees or rise per unit ...

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  5. Ski jumping hill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_jumping_hill

    The in-run normally has an angle of 38 to 36 degrees, which then curves into a transition; the last part of the in-run, the take-off, typically has an angle between 7 and 12 degrees downhill. The landing slope has a smooth curve which closely follows the profile of the ski jump; this means that the skier is never more than about 6 meters (20 ft ...

  6. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

    This shows that r xy is the slope of the regression line of the standardized data points (and that this line passes through the origin). Since − 1 ≤ r x y ≤ 1 {\displaystyle -1\leq r_{xy}\leq 1} then we get that if x is some measurement and y is a followup measurement from the same item, then we expect that y (on average) will be closer ...

  7. Wave run-up - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_run-up

    The wave run-up was 0.8 and 0.85 metres (2 ft 7 in and 2 ft 9 in) above the storm surge level on the Elastocoast, and 1.05 and 1.1 metres (3 ft 5 in and 3 ft 7 in) above the storm surge level on the Haringman blocks. The slope gradient here is 1:4.2.

  8. Piste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piste

    A piste (/ p iː s t /) [1] is a marked ski run or path down a mountain for snow skiing, snowboarding, or other mountain sports. This European term is French [2] ("trail", "track") and synonymous with 'trail', 'slope', or 'run' in North America. The word is pronounced using a long "e" sound so that it rhymes with "beast".

  9. Integrating ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrating_ADC

    An integrating ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that converts an unknown input voltage into a digital representation through the use of an integrator.In its basic implementation, the dual-slope converter, the unknown input voltage is applied to the input of the integrator and allowed to ramp for a fixed time period (the run-up period).
