  2. Geometrized unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_unit_system

    Energy and momentum are interpreted as components of the four-momentum vector, and mass is the magnitude of this vector, so in geometric units these must all have the dimension of length. We can convert a mass expressed in kilograms to the equivalent mass expressed in metres by multiplying by the conversion factor G / c 2 .

  3. Length of stay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_of_stay

    The term "average length of stay" (ALOS) is also applicable to other industries, e.g. entertainment, event marketing, trade show and leisure. ALOS is used to determine the length of time an attendee is expected to spend on a site or in a venue and is part of the calculation used to determine the gross sales potential for selling space to vendors etc. and affects everything from parking to ...

  4. Coastline paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox

    Although the "paradox of length" was previously noted by Hugo Steinhaus, [1] the first systematic study of this phenomenon was by Lewis Fry Richardson, [2] [3] and it was expanded upon by Benoit Mandelbrot. [4] [5] The measured length of the coastline depends on the method used to measure it and the degree of cartographic generalization. Since ...

  5. Metric tensor (general relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_tensor_(general...

    The metric captures all the geometric and causal structure of spacetime, being used to define notions such as time, distance, volume, curvature, angle, and separation of the future and the past. In general relativity, the metric tensor plays the role of the gravitational potential in the classical theory of gravitation, although the physical ...

    Illustration of a typical vector. In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector (sometimes called a geometric vector [1] or spatial vector, [2] or – as here – simply a vector) is a geometric object that has both a magnitude (or length) and direction.

  7. Euclidean minimum spanning tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_minimum_spanning...

    Any geometric spanner, a subgraph of a complete geometric graph whose shortest paths approximate the Euclidean distance, must have total edge length at least as large as the minimum spanning tree, and one of the standard quality measures for a geometric spanner is the ratio between its total length and of the minimum spanning tree for the same ...

    Length: Various (short, medium, and long) Damage-free: Yes. Waterproof: Yes. Glowing Editor Review: "I swear by OPI press-ons and have tried nearly all the long length styles. They are thicker and ...

  9. Great-circle distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance

    A diagram illustrating great-circle distance (drawn in red) between two points on a sphere, P and Q. Two antipodal points, u and v are also shown.. The great-circle distance, orthodromic distance, or spherical distance is the distance between two points on a sphere, measured along the great-circle arc between them.
