Because the impactor is moving so rapidly, the rear of the object moves a significant distance during the short-but-finite time taken for the deceleration to propagate across the impactor.

# The object moves only on a circle.

# The object moves with constant angular velocity around the circle.

These equations express mathematically that, in the case of an object that moves along a circular path with a changing speed, the acceleration of the body may be decomposed into a perpendicular component that changes the direction of motion ( the centripetal acceleration ), and a parallel, or tangential component, that changes the speed.

In the inertial frame of reference ( upper part of the picture ), the black object moves in a straight line, without significant friction with the disc.

However, it might be possible for an object to exist which always moves faster than light.

Since there is a very noticeable force of gravity acting between the Earth and any other nearby object, down is defined as that direction which an object moves in reference to the Earth when the object is allowed to fall freely.

Stability at and is explained by gravitational equilibrium: if the object were moved into a tighter orbit, it would orbit faster which would counteract the increase in gravity ; if the object moves into a wider orbit, the gravity is lower, but it loses speed.

Consider, for example, what happens when an object in the periphery of the visual field moves, and a person looks toward it.

* As the object moves sideways, it falls toward the central body.

An object following a parabolic orbit moves at the exact escape velocity of the object it is orbiting, while elliptical orbits are slower and hyperbolic orbits are faster.

Conversely, a decrease in wavelength is called blueshift and is generally seen when a light-emitting object moves toward an observer or when electromagnetic radiation moves into a gravitational field.

When the temporal weapon fires on an object, it moves that object outside the space-time continuum, eliminating the object from causality not only in the present and the future, but also the past, changing history to a state where the object never existed.

If an object moves with angular velocity ω around a circle of radius r centered at the origin of the x-y plane, then its motion along each coordinate is simple harmonic motion with amplitude r and angular frequency ω.

For example, the verb move has no grammatical object in he moves ( though in this case, the subject itself may be an implied object, also expressible explicitly as in he moves himself ); but in he moves the car, the subject and object are distinct and the verb has a different valency.

Besides providing rotation control to let a pilot steer the spacecraft, the OAMS provided translation control for the Gemini spacecraft, moving it linearly up, down, sideways, forward or aft relative to a nearby object in space.

Meanwhile, Cordelia wakes, bound and gagged, in a strange room where the only familiar object is the ugly, gray blobby thing from her vision — which she is looking at sideways because she's lying on her side on a settee.

By knowing the coordinates of an object ( usually given in equatorial coordinates ), the telescope user can use the setting circle to align the telescope in the appropriate direction before looking through its eyepiece.

If the automorphisms of an object X form a set ( instead of a proper class ), then they form a group under composition of morphisms.

The automorphism group of an object X in a category C is denoted Aut < sub > C </ sub >( X ), or simply Aut ( X ) if the category is clear from context.

In algorithmic information theory ( a subfield of computer science ), the Kolmogorov complexity of an object, such as a piece of text, is a measure of the computational resources needed to specify the object.

Volta also studied what we now call electrical capacitance, developing separate means to study both electrical potential ( V ) and charge ( Q ), and discovering that for a given object, they are proportional.

In practice aesthetic judgement refers to the sensory contemplation or appreciation of an object ( not necessarily an art object ), while artistic judgement refers to the recognition, appreciation or criticism of art or an art work.

He suggested that a combination of spiritual exercises ( for example, concentrating on an object such as a seed ), moral development ( control of thought, feelings and will combined with openness, tolerance and flexibility ) and familiarity with other spiritual researchers ' results would best further an individual's spiritual development.

The introduction of simple auxiliary terms, due to C. F. Gauss ( Dioptrische Untersuchungen, Göttingen, 1841 ), named the focal lengths and focal planes, permits the determination of the image of any object for any system ( see lens ).

We receive, therefore, in no single intercepting plane behind the system, as, for example, a focusing screen, an image of the object point ; on the other hand, in each of two planes lines O ' and O " are separately formed ( in neighboring planes ellipses are formed ), and in a plane between O ' and O " a circle of least confusion.

where I is the moment of inertia of the object ( in general, a tensor quantity ), and ω is the angular velocity.

A Subject Matter Expert ( SME ), preferably the owner or client of the object under test, provides such confirmation after trial or review.

They are proficient at cheating at ventiuna ( Spanish for twenty-one ), and state that the object of the game is to reach 21 points without going over and that the ace values 1 or 11.

* Cell ( geometry ), a three-dimensional element, part of a higher-dimensional object

* Class ( computer programming ), or type of object, a fundamental concept of object-oriented programming

* Charge ( heraldry ), any object depicted on a shield

In the 19th century, Edward Bagnall Poulton studied animal coloration, especially camouflage, classifying different types such as " special protective resemblance " ( where an animal looks like another object ), or " general aggressive resemblance " ( where a predator blends in with the background, enabling it to approach prey ).

In mimesis ( also called masquerade ), the whole animal ( or piece of military equipment ) looks like some other object, which is of no special interest to the observing animal or enemy.

The k-th exterior power of the cotangent space, denoted Λ < sup > k </ sup >( T < sub > x </ sub >< sup >*</ sup > M ), is another important object in differential geometry.

That is: in a non-deterministic GC system, if a resource or a resource like object requires manual resource management ( release / close ), and this object is used as ' part of ' another object, then the composed object will also become a resource like object that itself requires manual resource management ( release / close ).

Sanskrit nouns in this case often refer to a subject " out of " which or " from " whom something ( an action, an object ) has arisen or occurred — e. g., patram vṛkṣāt patati " the leaf falls from the tree ".

When an object falls into a black hole, any information about the shape of the object or distribution of charge on it is evenly distributed along the horizon of the black hole, and is lost to outside observers.

The reachability definition of " garbage " is not optimal, insofar as the last time a program uses an object could be long before that object falls out of the environment scope.

In chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology, a dissociation constant is a specific type of equilibrium constant that measures the propensity of a larger object to separate ( dissociate ) reversibly into smaller components, as when a complex falls apart into its component molecules, or when a salt splits up into its component ions.

For example, all types of potential energy are converted into kinetic energy when the objects are given freedom to move to different position ( as for example, when an object falls off a support ).

Generally speaking, any material object with mostly living cells falls under the influence of this sphere.

Most meteorite falls are recovered on the basis of eye-witness accounts of the fireball or the actual impact of the object on the ground, or both.

As Léon falls, he places an object in Stansfield's hands that he says is " from Mathilda ", and dies.

While biodegradable simply means an object naturally falls apart into its base components, " compostable " makes the specific demand that the object break down into humus, organic compounds.

As the object falls, that potential energy decreases and is translated to motion, or inertial ( kinetic ) energy.

Hangman's fractures from other hyperextension injuries ( the most common being unrestrained motor vehicle accidents and falls or diving injuries where the face or chin suddenly strike an immovable object ) are frequently survivable if the applied force does not cause a severe subluxation of C2 on C3.

Although she falls in love, the young woman does not give in to his pressures, but eventually allows herself to be abused and impregnated by another character, letting the object of her affection know that she had thought of him all along.

If the mass of the 1-cubic-meter object is greater than 1. 2 kilograms ( so that its weight is greater than 12 newtons ), it falls to the ground when released.

* A dropped object falls straight down

A fraction of the stellar wind of the massive normal star is captured by the compact object, and produces X-rays as it falls onto the compact object.

To object, “ hearsay ” in this circumstance would be as absurd as to argue, “ This statement is unreliable because I cannot cross-examine myself ; therefore, how can I trust what I said ?” In this situation the objection of the Hearsay rule falls away, because the very basis of the rule is lacking, viz.

As a floating object rises or falls, the forces external to it change and, as all objects are compressible to some extent or another, so does the object's volume.

If the mass of the 1-cubic-meter object is greater than 1. 2 kilograms ( so that its weight is greater than 12 newtons ), it falls to the ground when released.

This didactic habit is freely exercised in the long poem Ane Dialog betwixt Experience and ane Courteor ( sometimes called the Monarchie ), a universal history of the medieval type, in which the falls of princes by corruption supply an object lesson to the unreformed church of his day.
