much and velocity
The same phenomenon results in extremely fast spin of compact stars ( like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes ) when they are formed out of much larger and slower rotating stars ( indeed, decreasing the size of object 10 < sup > 4 </ sup > times results in increase of its angular velocity by the factor 10 < sup > 8 </ sup >).
This analogy is extremely simplistic and incomplete: The rapid propagation of a sound wave does not impart any change in the air molecules ' drift velocity, whereas EM waves do carry the energy to propagate the actual current at a rate which is much, much higher than the electrons ' drift velocity.
To illustrate the difference: The sound and the change in the air's drift velocity ( the force of the wind gust ) cross distance at rates equaling the speeds of sound and of mechanical transmission of force ( not higher than rate of drift velocity ); while a change in an EM field and the change in current ( electrons ' drift velocity ) both propagate across distance at rates much higher than the actual drift velocity.
Impact cratering involves high velocity collisions between solid objects, typically much greater than the velocity of sound in those objects.
A charge in a uniform electric field moves along a catenary ( which tends to a parabola if the charge velocity is much less than the speed of light c ).
Loosely speaking, a derivative can be thought of as how much one quantity is changing in response to changes in some other quantity ; for example, the derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is the object's instantaneous velocity.
However, landslides can be classified in a much more detailed way that reflects the mechanisms responsible for the movement and the velocity at which the movement occurs.
The red dot overtakes two green dots when moving from the left to the right of the figure. New waves seem to emerge at the back of a wave group, grow in amplitude until they are at the center of the group, and vanish at the wave group front. For surface gravity waves, the water particle velocities are much smaller than the phase velocity, in most cases.
In this process the light electron obtains a high velocity so that the temperature of the created electronic gas is much higher ( of the order of thousand K ) than the one of ions and neutrals.
If one body has much greater mass than the other, its velocity will be little affected by a collision while the other body will experience a large change.

The red dot overtakes two green dots when moving from the left to the right of the figure. New waves seem to emerge at the back of a wave group, grow in amplitude until they are at the center of the group, and vanish at the wave group front. For surface gravity waves, the water particle velocities are much smaller than the phase velocity, in most cases.
* While the seemingly " exotic " behavior of matter posited by quantum mechanics and relativity theory become more apparent when dealing with particles of extremely small size or velocities approaching the speed of light, the laws of classical Newtonian physics remain accurate in predicting the behavior of the vast majority of " large " objects ( on the order of the size of large molecules or bigger ) at velocities much smaller than the velocity of light.
It means that the amount of delta-v to reach other planets, over and above that to reach escape velocity can be much less if the delta-v is applied when the rocket is travelling at high speeds, close to the Earth or other planetary surface ; whereas waiting until the rocket has slowed at altitude multiplies up the effort required to achieve the desired trajectory.

much and piston
If a second compression test is performed shortly thereafter, and the new reading is much higher, it would be the ring seal that is problematic, whereas if the compression test pressure observed remains low, it is a valve sealing ( or more rarely head gasket, or breakthrough piston or rarer still cylinder wall damage ) issue.
Since the weight of the engine was so much less than on piston engined fighters, having two engines was no longer a handicap and one or two were used, depending on requirements.
A slipper piston is a piston for a petrol engine that has been reduced in size and weight as much as possible.
A piston engine does not move the aircraft by itself ( the propeller does that ), so piston engines are usually rated by how much power they deliver to the propeller.
Larger modern propeller planes such as the Dash 8 use a jet engine to turn the propeller, primarily because an equivalent piston engine in power output would be much larger and more complex.
Gas turbine engines operate efficiently at much higher altitudes, are more reliable than piston engines, and produce less vibration and noise.
With non-electric windpumps, high solidity rotors are best used in conjunction with positive displacement ( piston ) pumps, because, single-acting piston pumps need about three times as much torque to start them as to keep them going.
Due to the continued motion of the sleeve ( Burt-McCollum type ), the high wear points linked to poor lubrication in the TDC / BDC of piston travel within the cylinder are suppressed, so rings and cylinders lasted much longer.
However, most modern medical syringes are plastic with a rubber piston, because this type seals much better between the piston and the barrel and because they are cheap enough to dispose of after being used only once, reducing the risk of spreading blood-borne diseases.
From the in-house arch-head D was suspended a piston P working in a cylinder B, the top end of which was open to the atmosphere above the piston and the bottom end closed, apart from the short admission pipe connecting the cylinder to the boiler ; early cylinders were made of cast brass, but cast iron was soon found more effective and much cheaper to produce.
Spark plugs are typically fired 10 degrees or so of crankshaft rotation before the piston reaches TDC, to allow time for the fuel-air charge to substantially complete combustion before too much expansion has occurred-gas expansion occurring with the piston moving down in the power stroke.
For instance, in aircraft, turbine ( jet and turboprop ) engines are typically much smaller and lighter than equivalently powerful piston engine designs, both properties reducing the levels of drag on the plane and reducing the amount of power needed to move the aircraft.
These transverse forces are tolerable in a smaller engine ; a larger engine's much greater forces would cause an intolerable degree of wear on the piston and cylinder, as well as increasing overall friction in the engine.
By contrast, in engines with more cylinders the power strokes overlap: the next piston starts its power stroke before the previous one has finished, and the delivery of power is much smoother.
A considerable portion of the head space is made to come in close proximity of the piston crown, making for much turbulence near TDC In the early days of side valve heads this was not done and a much lower compression ratio had to be used for any given fuel.
