 Helicopter - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
At low speeds, the most common way to counteract this torque is to have a smaller vertical propeller mounted at the rear of the aircraft called a tail rotor.
In a moving helicopter, however, the speed of the blades relative to the air depends on the speed of the helicopter as well as on their rotational velocity.
It is possible for this blade to exceed the speed of sound, and thus produce vastly increased drag and vibration.

However, time and rotational distance are related by the angular speed where each revolution results in the circumference of the circle being travelled by the force that is generating the torque.
In such an arrangement, the generator's angular speed is fixed by the grid's frequency, and the power output of the plant is determined by the torque applied to the generator's axis of rotation.
However angular speed must be in radians, by the assumed direct relationship between linear speed and angular speed at the beginning of the derivation.

 SOUND : Encyclopedia Entry
The speed at which sound travels depends on the medium through which the waves are passing, and is often quoted as a fundamental property of the material.
In general, the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the ratio of the stiffness of the medium and its density.
The speed of sound is also slightly sensitive (to second order) to the sound amplitude, resulting in nonlinear propagation effects, such as the weak production of harmonics and the mixing of tones (see parametric array).

 speed | English | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
Speed (symbol: v) is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change of position, many times expressed as distance d moved per unit of time t.
Speed is a scalar quantity with dimensions distance/time; the equivalent vector quantity to speed is known as velocity.
Speed is measured in the same physical units of measurement as velocity, but does not contain the element of direction that velocity has.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Thesaurus-based disambiguation of gene symbols
Overall accuracy of the disambiguation algorithm, defined as the percentage of abstracts in our test set in which the correct meaning of the homonym was chosen, was 88.9% when OMIM annotations were used as reference description.
This suggests that excellent disambiguation results can be obtained with relatively simple reference descriptions, and offers a viable way for massive acquisition of such descriptions from literature links in genetic databases, which in view of the extent of the homonym problem should be automatic for all practical purposes.
The disambiguation algorithm compares the textual context of a homonym in a document with a reference description of each of the genes that the homonym may possibly denote.

 Text To Speech
The next stage of text-to-speech is called "homograph disambiguation." Often it’s not a stage by itself, but is combined into the text normalization or pronunciation components.
Once the homographs have been disambiguated, the words are sent to the next stage to be pronounced.
Prosody is the pitch, speed, and volume that syllables, words, phrases, and sentences are spoken with.

 RISC
RISC is a CPU design philosophy that followed from the discovery that many of the features that were included in traditional CPU designs for speed were being ignored by the programs that were running on them.
In addition, the speed of the CPU in relation to the memory it accessed was increasing.
One of the basic design principles of all processors is to add speed by providing some very fast memory for storing temporary data, known as "registers." For instance, almost every CPU includes a command for adding two numbers.

 Syntax Definition for Language Prototyping: Introduction
A number of general properties of disambiguation filters is defined and several case studies are discussed including disambiguation by means of priorities.
Although disambiguation filters give an abstract account of disambiguation, implementation of disambiguation by means of a filter applied to the parse forest after parsing can be too inefficient for a number of disambiguation methods.
Disambiguation by means of priorities is implemented in the parser generator.

 Radar - Gurupedia
Speed is the change in distance to an object with respect to time.
For instance, sound travels at the fairly slow speed of around 300 m/s, which is why you hear the Doppler effect of an ambulance siren as it passes you at 3 m/s or so.
Speeds as slow as a few centimeters per second can be easily measured, an accuracy typically much better than for the measurement of distance.

Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface.
It is issued when winds have reached, or are expected to reach within 12 hours, a speed marginally less than that which is considered gale force.
Wind speed ranges were approximated to what was thought would cause the damage largely as educated guesses and have been found to be higher than the actual wind speeds required to incur the damage at each respective category, to an in...

Depending on the speed setting, the highlight has moved two or three cells beyond the target, but the scan automatically goes into reverse at a much lower speed.
Disambiguation uses a smaller number of cells, or keys, to represent the entire alphabet.
The main advantage of disambiguation to a switch user is the ability to scan the alphabet on a grid of 9 cells instead of 26, greatly reducing the scanning time for each character.

Bradley explained this effect in the context of Newton's corpuscular theory of light, by showing that the aberration angle was given by simple vector addition of the Earth's orbital velocity and the velocity of the corpuscles of light (just as vertically falling raindrops strike a moving object at an angle).
The speed of propagation for mechanical waves, the speed of sound, is defined by the mechanical properties of the medium.
Electroweak theory and quantum field theory suggest that light could appear to move at different speeds in different directions in a medium such as a dense gas; the speed of light would be sensitive to motion relative to an ether and the refractive index of the medium.

He said, "The hardest thing about it all is capturing speed on film." 'Capturing speed on film' is not only a problem for Swedish film makers making films about racing through the streets of Stockholm but it is also a problem for philosophers of cinema and affect, especially those who use Deleuze.
The problem is that even though 'speed' may be quantifiable at any distance, there is a qualitative dimension to speed that is of a different relation than that of time and distance.
The speed of affect is instantaneous; the affects of speed, let alone representations of the affects of speed, is a problem of a different order.

 Torque Summary
To increase the torque on the nut, we must either increase how hard we pull or push on the lever arm; or, increase the length of the lever arm by placing a pipe over the end of the wrench.
Steam engines and electric motors tend to produce maximum torque at or around zero rpm, with the torque diminishing as rotational speed rises (due to increasing friction and other constraints).
For metric SI units power is watts, torque is newton-metres and angular speed is radians per second (not rpm and not even revolutions per second).

 Approaching the Speed of Light Photo | TrekLens
The speed of light in a vacuum is an important physical constant denoted by the letter c for constant or the Latin word celeritas meaning "swiftness".
Note that this speed is a definition, not a measurement, since the fundamental SI unit of length, the metre, has been defined since October 21, 1983 in terms of the speed of light: one metre is the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Converted to imperial units, the speed of light is approximately 186,282.397 miles per second, or 670,616,629.384 miles per hour, or almost one foot per nanosecond.

 Eye:
While still, the eye can measure relative speed with high accuracy, however under movement relative speed is highly distorted.
When an observer views an object in motion moving away or towards himself, there is no eye movement occurring as in the examples above, however the ability to discern speed and speed difference is still present; although not as severe.
Similarly, while moving, the ability is further diminished unless there is another point of reference for determining speed; however the inaccuracy of speed or speed difference will always be present.
