Using an interval of 30 mi (50 km), the length is about 2,100 mi (3,400 km). The coastline paradox states that a coastline does not have a well-defined length. Measurements of the length of a coastline behave like a fractal , being different at different scale intervals (distance between points on the coastline at which measurements are taken).
An activity involving a ship under Sea Toll Program. All ships under the program have "Tol Laut" (meaning Sea Toll) written on their hull. The Sea Toll Program (Indonesian: Tol Laut), sometimes called the Sea Highway Program, [1] is a program initiated by former Indonesian president Joko Widodo.
The distance is 629.5 km with 13 stations that can be reached in 180 minutes. Second, the central route via Cirebon and Purwokerto. The distance is 679.2 km through 15 stations with a travel time of 193 minutes. Third, the northern route via Cirebon and Semarang with a length of 642 km passing 14 stations, with travel time approximately 184 ...
The most distant space probe, Voyager 1, was about 18 light-hours (130 au,19.4 billion km, 12.1 billion mi) away from the Earth as of October 2014. [29] It will take about 17 500 years to reach one light-year at its current speed of about 17 km/s (38 000 mph, 61 200 km/h) relative to the Sun.
The appropriate decimal places are used, [1] negative values are given using a hyphen-minus character. [2] The designation of a location as, for example [54.1855,-2.9857] means that it is potentially computer searchable and that it can be located by a generally (open) referencing system such as Google Earth or OpenStreetMap .
1 international knot = 1 nautical mile per hour (by definition), 1 852.000 metres per hour (exactly), [5] 0.51444 metres per second (approximately), 1.15078 miles per hour (approximately), 20.25372 inches per second (approximately) 1.68781 feet per second (approximately). The length of the internationally agreed nautical mile is 1 852 m.
The refractive index of air is approximately 1.0003. [65] Denser media, such as water, [66] glass, [67] and diamond, [68] have refractive indexes of around 1.3, 1.5 and 2.4, respectively, for visible light. In exotic materials like Bose–Einstein condensates near absolute zero, the effective speed of light may be only a few metres per second.
With this value for R the meridian length of 1 degree of latitude on the sphere is 111.2 km (69.1 statute miles) (60.0 nautical miles). The length of one minute of latitude is 1.853 km (1.151 statute miles) (1.00 nautical miles), while the length of 1 second of latitude is 30.8 m or 101 feet (see nautical mile).
