more often correlated with peak ground velocity. Earthquake energy is dispersed in waves from the hypocentre, causing ground movement omnidirectionally but...

of strong ground motion also deals with the variations of fault rupture, both in total displacement, energy released, and rupture velocity. As seismic...

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It is reached when the sum...

Diego, Turlock, Las Vegas, Richfield, Phoenix, and Ensenada. The peak ground velocity at the Rinaldi Receiving Station was 183 cm/s (4.1 mph; 6.6 km/h),...

A geophone is a device that converts ground movement (velocity) into voltage, which may be recorded at a recording station. The deviation of this measured...

relative to ground). Velocity as a function of time for an object falling through a non-dense medium, and released at zero relative-velocity v = 0 at time...

component of a torque about the yaw axis. Yaw velocity can be measured by measuring the ground velocity at two geometrically separated points on the body...

In celestial mechanics, escape velocity or escape speed is the minimum speed needed for an object to escape from contact with or orbit of a primary body...

force of shaking at a given location, and can be related to the peak ground velocity. With an isoseismal map of the observed intensities (see illustration)...

computed. The simplest of which is peak ground acceleration (PGA). Other IMs include Arias intensity, peak ground velocity (PGV), for which the accelerogram...

Shear velocity, also called friction velocity, is a form by which a shear stress may be re-written in units of velocity. It is useful as a method in fluid...

condition (zero velocity at the wall). The flow velocity then monotonically increases above the surface until it returns to the bulk flow velocity. The thin...

Terminal Velocity is a 1994 American action film directed by Deran Sarafian, written by David Twohy, and starring Charlie Sheen, Nastassja Kinski, James...

ground velocity thresholds. Earlier that day, a "yellow alert"—the second level—was called at 03:06 local time after a 2.6 ML  event with peak ground...

grenade families: 40 mm low velocity (LV), 40 mm medium velocity (MV), and 40 mm high velocity (HV). Low- and medium-velocity cartridges are used for different...

the ground vibrations. Areas above a buried mine show an enhanced ground velocity at the resonance frequency of the mine-soil system. Mine detection...

temperature and sound velocity normally decrease with increasing altitude, sound is refracted upward, away from listeners on the ground, creating an acoustic...

are independent of ground-based aids and space-based satellite navigation systems. To measure an aircraft three-dimensional velocity, a Doppler radar antenna...

braking on a tire by tire basis. ABS senses wheel rotation compared to ground velocity, and if the wheel starts to lock up or slip will then rapidly moderate...

Velocity made good, or VMG, is a term used in sailing, especially in yacht racing, indicating the speed of a sailboat towards (or from) the direction of...
