The doctor's mind was working at a great speed ; ;

With only two aboard, Hotei does better than 27 mph -- and she gives a comfortable ride at this speed even in a three-foot chop.

Each cutting tool will operate best at a given speed, depending on the material worked.

The best results will be obtained by matching the correct speed with a steady feed pressure that lets the tool cut easily at an even rate.

Since fly cutters are one sided and not balanced, they should be used at the slowest speed available, and fed very slowly to avoid binding.

The increase in oxygen uptake rates from 1.2 to 2.6 mg/l/hr which followed an increase in rotor speed was believed to be related to resuspension of solids which had settled at the lower rotor speeds.

Its speed has increased, it operates at increasingly greater depths, its submerged endurance is becoming unlimited, and it will become even more silent.

The wash wheel rotates at a speed of 30 revolutions per minute, making five to ten revolutions before reversing.

Physically, a movie is possible because a series of images is projected one at a time at such a speed that the eye `` remembers '' the one that has gone before even as it registers the one now appearing.

They were coming on at reckless speed for such old vehicles.

Kimmell ordered the driver to back up, watched the children safely across and was approaching the car when it suddenly `` took off at high speed '', he said, narrowly missing him.

To the German pilot in the bomber the rocket became a faint black speck, hurtling through the sky at the then incredible speed of 420 m.p.h..

Unlike the simple counting board used in elementary schools, very efficient suanpan techniques have been developed to do multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, square root and cube root operations at high speed.

* 1960 – Joseph Kittinger parachutes from a balloon over New Mexico at, setting three records that still stand today: High-altitude jump, free fall, and highest speed by a human without an aircraft.

ICE high speed trains from Brussels via Cologne to Frankfurt am Main and Thalys trains from Paris to Cologne also stop at Aachen Central Station.

Six minutes after liftoff, at a speed of about, Young and Duke reached lunar orbit.

Power generated by muscles, however, is limited by force – velocity relationship, and even at the optimal contraction speed for power production, total work done by the muscle will be less than half of what could be done if the muscle were contracting over the same distance at very slow speeds, resulting in less than 1 / 4 the projectile launch velocity possible without the limitations of the force – velocity relationship.

Let me pass over the trip to Sante Fe with something of the same speed which made Mrs. Roebuck `` wonduh if the wahtahm speed limit '' ( 35 m.p.h. ) `` is still in ee-faket ''.

The reason was to speed up domestic production in the USSR, which Khrushchev promised upon grabbing power, and try to end the permanent recession in Russian living standards.

If there is anything which we can do in the executive branch of the Government to speed up the processes by which we come to decisions on matters on which we must act promptly, that in itself would be a major contribution to the conduct of our affairs.

Another example is the recent cancellation of the F-108, a long-range interceptor with a speed three times as great as the speed of sound, which was designed for use against manned bombers in the period of the mid-1960's.

The typical appearance of these various mechanisms is illustrated in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, which are single frame enlargements of high speed movies taken during the course of the knife removal process.

No optimism is more baseless than that which believes that the high speed of modern digital computers allows for use of the crudest of methods in searching out a result.

Upon reaching the desired speed, the automatic equipment would cut off the drive, and the silent but not empty vessel would hurl towards the star which was its journey's end.

The official winners were Peugeot and Panhard as cars were judged on their speed, handling and safety characteristics, and De Dion's steam car needed a stoker which was forbidden.

The comparison of the ephemeris with the measured positions leads to a value for the speed of light in astronomical units, which is AU / d ( TDB ).

The control logic functions, which only needed to operate once per drum rotation and therefore did not require electronic speed, were electromechanical, implemented with relays.

The card would indicate which game functions, such as changing the view or vehicle speed, were assigned to each key.

The all-flying tailplane which are common on supersonic planes also help maintain control near the speed of sound.

But at the speed of sound this can no longer happen, and the air which was previously following the streamline around the aircraft now hits it directly.

The critical mach is the speed at which some of the air passing over the aircraft's wing becomes supersonic.

In compressible aerodynamics, density and pressure both change, which is the basis for calculating the speed of sound.

The ratio of the flow speed to the speed of sound was named the Mach number after Ernst Mach, who was one of the first to investigate the properties of supersonic flow which included Schlieren photography techniques to visualize the changes in density.

Subsonic ( or low-speed ) aerodynamics is the study of fluid motion which is everywhere much slower than the speed of sound through the fluid or gas.

However, if light travels at finite speed, the Earth, and therefore the eye piece of the telescope, moves from E to E ′ during the time it takes light to travel from S to E. Consequently, the star will no longer appear in the center of the eye piece.

Weston added a tag to one cup, which causes the cupwheel speed to increase and decrease as the tag moves alternately with and against the wind.

Bongos are both timid and easily frightened ; after a scare a bongo moves away at considerable speed, even through dense undergrowth.

It is known by quick and complex moves, using mainly power, speed, and leverage for leg sweeps.

In the case of a chainsaw this allows the chain to remain stationary whilst the engine is idling ; once the throttle is pressed and the engine speed rises, the centrifugal clutch engages and the cutting chain moves.

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 ).

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.

Variations in the star's radial velocity — that is, the speed with which it moves towards or away from Earth — can be detected from displacements in the star's spectral lines due to the Doppler effect.

The latter provides a systematic approach to solving for the geometry of a spacetime that contains a distribution of matter that moves slowly compared with the speed of light.

When a body at these points is perturbed, it moves away from the point, but the factor opposite of that which is increased or decreased by the perturbation ( either gravity or angular momentum-induced speed ) will also increase or decrease, bending the object's path into a stable, kidney-bean-shaped orbit around the point ( as seen in the rotating frame of reference ).

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.

* To speed the game up, extra turns or bonus moves can be awarded capturing a piece or getting a piece home ; these may grant passage past a block.

During running, the speed at which the runner moves may be calculated by multiplying the cadence ( steps per second ) by the stride length.

A neutrino interaction with the electrons or nuclei of water can produce a charged particle that moves faster than the speed of light in water ( not to be confused with exceeding the speed of light in a vacuum, which is physically impossible ).

In general, the envelope of the wave packet moves at a different speed than the constituent waves.

Note as well that points A and B on the rotor and e-shaft turn at different speed, point B moves 3 times faster than point A, so that one full orbit of the rotor equates to 3 turns of the e-shaft.

This result shows that the position x where the phase changes slowly, the position where ψ is appreciable, moves with time at a speed called the group velocity:

A propagating wave packet ; in general, the envelope of the wave packet moves at a different speed than the constituent waves.

This coordinated oversight facilitates safety and speed in complex operations where traffic moves in all three dimensions.

Since light always moves at a constant speed, lensing changes the direction of the velocity of the light, but not the magnitude.

Smaller, inexpensive laser printers typically print slowly, due to this energy-saving design, compared to large high speed printers where paper moves more rapidly through a high-temperature fuser with a very short contact time

Eventually, the speed, accelerations, decelerations of the writer's moves, turns, and crochets, and the stroke order give the " spirit " to the characters, by influencing greatly their final shapes.
