Terminal velocity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The reason an object reaches a terminal velocity is because the drag force resisting motion is directly proportional to the square of its speed. For example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a normal free-fall position with a closed parachute is about 195 km/h (120 Mph). The terminal velocity of the object is the speed of the car when the object hangs at a 45° angle. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terminal_velocity   (412 words)

Moraine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Interlobate moraine: If large glaciers and continental ice sheets advance irregularly so that their margins are lobate, when the margins retreat by melting the resulting terminal moraines of boulders, clay, and sand simulate the original interlobate shape of the glacier or glaciers, and therefore such moraines are called interlobate. Terminal moraine: When balance is maintained between the melting of a glacier and its forward advance, the debris carried on (superglacial), within (englacial), and dragged along the bottom (subglacial) is deposited at that point and builds up a heterogeneous mass of the transported material called the terminal moraine. Moraine is the general term for debris of all sorts originally transported by glaciers or ice sheets that have since melted away. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Moraine   (362 words)

Yield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yield is a condition in steel and other metals under tensile stress where it becomes plastic, deformation is large, and will ultimately break. In the context of nuclear weapons, the yield of a weapon is the amount of energy discharged when the weapon explodes, commonly expressed in tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT) needed to produce the same energy. In economics, yield is a measure of the amount of income an investment generates over time (related to return on investment). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Yield   (362 words)

Ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Terminal ballistics, the study of the interaction of a projectile with its target, whether that be flesh (for a hunting bullet), steel (for an anti-tank round), or even furnace slag (for an industrial slag disruptor). A ballistic body is a body which is free to move, behave, and be modified in appearance, contour, or texture by ambient conditions, substances, or forces, as by the pressure of gases in a gun, by rifling in a barrel, by gravity, by temperature, or by air particles. A ballistic missile is a missile designed to operate primarily in accordance with the laws of ballistics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ballistics   (639 words)

Computer terminal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A computer terminal is an electronic or electromechanical hardware device that is used for entering data into, and displaying data from, a computer or a computing system. Notable non-VT100 computer terminal types include the IBM 3270, various Wyse models, and the Tektronix 4014, but during the late 1970's there were dozens of manufacturers of terminals, many of which had incompatible command sequences. The computer sends drawing commands to the terminal, and the terminal sends the user input (from a keyboard or a pointing device) to the computer. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Computer_terminal   (1183 words)

Edinburgh - "Ocean Terminal will be an asset to Leith, a new buzzing commercial district for Edinburgh and an advertisement for a progressive Scotland. Now with the Ocean Terminal for shopping, a choice of films or to tour the Royal Britannia there is something for all the family. Apart from numerous coffee houses, to revive weary shoppers, there are two contrasting Conran restaurants at Ocean Terminal, both up the escalator on the first floor, rather hidden within this vast shopping mall. www.rampantscotland.com /visit/bldev_visit_edin_ocean.htm   (1183 words)

Terminal emulator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The ubiquitous Unix terminal window is used for both local and remote access; where the connection goes is not the business of the terminal emulator itself, it just communicates through a pseudo terminal interface. Many different terminal emulators are available for the X Window System, like aterm, dtterm, Eterm, Gnome Terminal, Konsole, rxvt, wterm and xterm. A terminal emulator, terminal application, term, or tty for short, is a program that emulates a "dumb" video terminal within some other display architecture. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terminal_emulator   (569 words)

Data terminal equipment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The data terminal equipment (DTE) may be a single piece of equipment or an interconnected subsystem of multiple pieces of equipment that perform all the required functions necessary to permit users to communicate. DTE is an abbreviation for Data Terminal Equipment, and refers to an end instrument that converts user information into signals for transmission, or reconverts the received signals into user information. Usually, the DTE device is the terminal (or computer), and the DCE is a modem. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Data_terminal_equipment   (170 words)

Train station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stations are often sited where a road crosses the railway: unless the crossing is a level crossing, the road and railway will be at different levels. Train stations colocated with other transport systems such as trams and buses may also be referred to as interchanges, as may stations offering both metro/subway and heavy rail services. A train station that is jointly used by several rail transport companies is sometimes called a union station, or an interchange station. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Train_station   (1307 words)

Terminal element - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Terminal elements are the items that are estimated in terms of resource requirements, budget and duration, linked by dependencies and scheduled. In project management, a terminal element is the lowest element (activity or deliverable) in a work breakdown structure; it is not further subdivided. A terminal element is sometimes called a work package, although the two terms are not synonymous. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terminal_element   (122 words)

MSN Encarta - Ballistics The ballistic pendulum consisted of a massive plate of iron to which was bolted a block of wood to receive the impact of the projectile; the pendulum was suspended freely from a horizontal axis. The principle of the ballistic pendulum, as well as of the gun pendulum, which was developed by Thompson, is the transfer of momentum from a projectile with a small mass and a high velocity to a large mass with a resultant low velocity. Some of the critical elements involved in the study of interior ballistics are the relationship of the weight of charge to the weight of projectile; the length of bore; the optimum size, shape, and density of the propellant grains for different guns; and the related problems of maximum and minimum muzzle pressures. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761573872/Ballistics.html   (1080 words)

Terminal ballistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Terminal ballistics is as relevant for both small caliber projectiles as for large caliber projectiles (fired from artillery). Terminal ballistics, a sub-field of ballistics, is the study of the behavior of a projectile when it hits its target. The observed "tissue splash," usually referred to as "temporary cavitation," is not an indication of terminal performance in an animal, as gelatin has a much, much lower elastic limit than most living tissues; a force which tears a gelatin block in half may result in nothing more than slight bruising if applied to living flesh. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terminal_ballistics   (3998 words)

Terminal Services - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Terminal Services is a component of Microsoft Windows operating systems (both client and server versions) that allows a user to access applications or data stored on a remote computer over a network connection. Terminal Services is Microsoft's take on server centric computing, which allows individual users to access network resources easily. Terminal Services is just one of the many ways in which clients can access a central server's resources. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terminal_Services   (534 words)
