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 ...
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).
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 ...
The following are lists of waterfalls in the world by height, classified into two categories — natural and artificial. Natural waterfalls are further subdivided between overall height and tallest single drop. Each column (Waterfall, Height, Locality, Country) is sortable by using the up/down link in the column headings at the top of each column.
This is commonly regarded as being the largest vertical drop on Earth [4] at 1,250 metres (4,100 ft). The sheer north face of Polar Sun Spire , Baffin Island , rises 4,300 ft above the flat frozen fjord, although the lower portion of the face breaks from the vertical wall with a series of ledges and buttresses.
The park's announcement said the roller coaster will have the world's steepest drop with the most inversions on a dive coaster, 171 feet at 96 degrees and five inversions.
Chart showing the relationship between the 100 peaks with highest prominence in the world. (In the SVG version , hover over a peak to highlight its parent(s) and click it to view its article.) This is a list of mountain peaks ordered by their topographic prominence .
As the Dow has gotten steadily higher over the last several decades, larger point drops translate into smaller percentage drops.
