  2. Slow motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_motion

    The second type of slow motion is achieved during post production. This is known as time-stretching or digital slow motion. This type of slow motion is achieved by inserting new frames in between frames that have actually been photographed. The effect is similar to overcranking as the actual motion occurs over a longer time.

  3. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect

    At a certain speed the sets of spokes appear to slow and rotate in opposite directions. The wagon-wheel effect (alternatively called stagecoach-wheel effect ) is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation.

  4. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    In the laboratory, slow muons are produced; and in the atmosphere, very fast-moving muons are introduced by cosmic rays. Taking the muon lifetime at rest as the laboratory value of 2.197 μs, the lifetime of a cosmic-ray-produced muon traveling at 98% of the speed of light is about five times longer, in agreement with observations.

  5. Speed - Wikipedia

    However, if the car is said to move at 60 km/h to the north, its velocity has now been specified. The big difference can be discerned when considering movement around a circle . When something moves in a circular path and returns to its starting point, its average velocity is zero, but its average speed is found by dividing the circumference of ...

  6. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Light moves at a speed of 299,792,458 m/s, or 299,792.458 kilometres per second (186,282.397 mi/s), in a vacuum. The speed of light in vacuum (or c {\displaystyle c} ) is also the speed of all massless particles and associated fields in a vacuum, and it is the upper limit on the speed at which energy, matter, information or causation can travel.

  7. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Velocity is the speed in combination with the direction of motion of an object.Velocity is a fundamental concept in kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies.

  8. Eephus pitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eephus_pitch

    The delivery from the pitcher has very low velocity and often catches the hitter off-guard. The eephus pitch is thrown overhand like most pitches, but is characterized by an unusual, high-arcing trajectory. [2] [3] The corresponding slow velocity bears more resemblance to a slow-pitch softball delivery than to a traditional baseball pitch. It ...

  9. Zugzwang - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zugzwang

    Zugzwang (from German 'compulsion to move'; pronounced [ˈtsuːktsvaŋ]) is a situation found in chess and other turn-based games wherein one player is put at a disadvantage because of their obligation to make a move; a player is said to be "in zugzwang" when any legal move will worsen their position.
