    3.3–5.0 × 10 −9 Average walking speed—below a speed of about 2 m/s, it is more efficient to walk than to run, but above that speed, it is more efficient to run. 2.39

    In 1933, Wiley Post repeated his 1931 circumnavigation by aeroplane, but this time solo, using an autopilot and radio direction finder. He made the first solo aerial circumnavigation in a time one day faster than his previous record: 7 days, 19 hours, 49 minutes, in which he covered 25,110 kilometres (15,600 mi), but did not cross the equator.

  5. Speed of gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity

    Putting the Sun immobile at the origin, when the Earth is moving in an orbit of radius R with velocity v presuming that the gravitational influence moves with velocity c, moves the Sun's true position ahead of its optical position, by an amount equal to vR/c, which is the travel time of gravity from the sun to the Earth times the relative ...

    Then we are told that the 1st part is not sped up, so s1 = 1, while the 2nd part is sped up 5 times, so s2 = 5, the 3rd part is sped up 20 times, so s3 = 20, and the 4th part is sped up 1.6 times, so s4 = 1.6. By using Amdahl's law, the overall speedup is

  7. Tachyon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

    In special relativity, a faster-than-light particle would have spacelike four-momentum, [3] unlike ordinary particles that have time-like four-momentum. While some theories suggest the mass of tachyons is imaginary , modern formulations often consider their mass to be real, [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] with redefined formulas for momentum and energy.

  8. Dogs don't actually age 7 times faster than humans, new study ...

    Say you have a 4-year-old Labrador named Comet — with the new equation, Comet's real "dog age" would be slightly older than 53. The reason for the difference is actually pretty simple.

  9. Tangential speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangential_speed

    One moves faster if the rate of rotation increases (a larger value for ω), and one also moves faster if movement farther from the axis occurs (a larger value for r). Move twice as far from the rotational axis at the centre and you move twice as fast. Move out three times as far, and you have three times as much tangential speed.
