    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th_parallel_north

    The 8th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 8 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Central America, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean. The parallel defines part of the border between Somalia and Ethiopia.

    7 fm – the radius of the effective scattering cross section for a gold nucleus scattering a 6 [broken anchor] MeV alpha particle over 140 degrees [8] 10 femtometers To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −14 m and 10 −13 m (10 fm and 100 fm).

  4. Range of a projectile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_of_a_projectile

    North Korea has developed a gun known in the West as Koksan, with a range of 60 km using rocket-assisted projectiles. (And see Trajectory of a projectile .) Such cannons are distinguished from rockets , or ballistic missiles , which have their own rocket engines, which continue to accelerate the missile for a period after they have been launched.

  5. Ball (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_(mathematics)

    A ball in n dimensions is called a hyperball or n-ball and is bounded by a hypersphere or (n−1)-sphere. Thus, for example, a ball in the Euclidean plane is the same thing as a disk, the area bounded by a circle. In Euclidean 3-space, a ball is taken to be the volume bounded by a 2-dimensional sphere. In a one-dimensional space, a ball is a ...

    For an example refer to the sectional chart slightly west of Winston-Salem, North Carolina in March 2021, magnetic north is 8 degrees west of true north (Note the dashed line marked 8°W). [ 12 ] When plotting a course, some small aircraft pilots may plot a trip using true north on a sectional chart (map), then convert the true north bearings ...

    In 1901, the Spalding and Reach companies manufactured the official baseballs for the National and American Leagues, respectively, at a listed unit price of $1.25 each, which would be equal to $47 today. [8] By comparison, the same source lists top-quality baseball bats at a mere $0.75.

  9. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    Volumes of balls in dimensions 0 through 25; unit ball in red. In geometry, a ball is a region in a space comprising all points within a fixed distance, called the radius, from a given point; that is, it is the region enclosed by a sphere or hypersphere. An n-ball is a ball in an n-dimensional Euclidean space.
