    Michie completed his essay on MENACE in 1963, [4] "Experiments on the mechanization of game-learning", as well as his essay on the BOXES Algorithm, written with R. A. Chambers [6] and had built up an AI research unit in Hope Park Square, Edinburgh, Scotland. [7] MENACE learned by playing successive matches of noughts and crosses.

  3. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    Momentum is a measurable quantity, and the measurement depends on the frame of reference. For example: if an aircraft of mass 1000 kg is flying through the air at a speed of 50 m/s its momentum can be calculated to be 50,000 kg.m/s.

  4. Hypersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed

    Simulation of hypersonic speed (Mach 5) While the definition of hypersonic flow can be quite vague and is generally debatable (especially because of the absence of discontinuity between supersonic and hypersonic flows), a hypersonic flow may be characterized by certain physical phenomena that can no longer be analytically discounted as in supersonic flow.

  5. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    The definition of angular momentum for a single point particle is: = where p is the particle's linear momentum and r is the position vector from the origin. The time-derivative of this is: The time-derivative of this is:

  6. Proper velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_velocity

    Log-log plot of γ (blue), v/c (cyan), and η (yellow) versus proper velocity w/c (i.e. momentum p/mc).Note that w/c is tracked by v/c at low speeds and by γ at high speeds. The dashed red curve is γ − 1 (kinetic energy K/mc 2), while the dashed magenta curve is the relativistic Doppler factor.

  7. Ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistics

    Ballistics can be studied using high-speed photography or high-speed cameras. A photo of a Smith & Wesson revolver firing, taken with an ultra high speed air-gap flash. Using this sub-microsecond flash, the bullet can be imaged without motion blur. Ballistics is often broken down into the following four categories: [23]
