Distance travelled per unit time. In a time-distance diagram, the slope of the time-distance trace of a vehicle is its speed. Approach Speed is the uninterrupted (mid-block) cruise speed of vehicles before being affected by traffic signals. This can be represented by the speed limit. Negotiation Speed is the safe speed of a vehicle moving through the controlled area of the intersection. For turning vehicles, this can be determined as a function of the negotiation radius. Running Speed is the average speed including the effect of delays due to interrupted conditions but not including any stopped (idling) times. Travel Speed is the average speed including the effect of all delays. See Free-Flow Speed.
The distance an object moves in a specific amount of time without regard to the direction of motion; speed = distance / time
The magnitude of a velocity. Used in document finishing, is closely associated with throughput.
A measure of how fast something moves over a distance.
travel at an excessive or illegal velocity; "I got a ticket for speeding"
move very fast; "The runner zipped past us at breakneck speed"
Describes the linear or rotational velocity of a motor or other object in motion.
The rate at which a computing device operates. Speed is not an overall measure of how fast a computer system is (more at Bandwidth).
The distance traveled by an object divided by the time required to cover the distance.
Speed represents how fast a cyberdeck processes the information that it receives. Cyberdeck speed is added to the cyberjacker's V.P.P.
The current velocity at which you are traveling, relative to a ground location. Also referred to as 'ground speed'.
the (directionless) scalar value of the velocity vector
Speed is a measure of how fast something is moving. It is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the time taken. Speed and Velocity
Refers to miles per hour, i.e., how fast the ground is covered. The horse's speed can be increased through increasing the length of stride or increasing the tempo, or both. Increased tempo does not necessarily mean increased speed. Not to be confused with impulsion.
speed = distance time Examples: When an object travels 10 miles in two hours, then its speed is 10 miles 2 hours= 5 miles per hour (or 5 mph). When an object moves 20 feet in 5 seconds, then its speed is 20 ft 5 sec= 4ft/sec.
The level of aggressiveness with which you play. Fast play is more aggressive, slow play is more passive.
1. The distance-time measurement (e.g. meters per second) of your ability to move through the water, usually expressed in time per race distance (e.g. 1:02.16 for 100m) 2. The quality of moving very fast, usually only possible for a short time or distance. One of the INGREDIENTS of swimming fastest. (See also POWER)
the ability to accelerate quickly and maintain a very fast cadence for brief periods.
A rate that compares distance traveled with the time taken to travel that distance.
a measurement of distance traveled over time (example: 100 kilometers per hour)
See Dwell Time - Speed is the measurement of Dwell Time for continuous motion sealers like Continuous Band Sealers and Rotary Sealers.
a term that refers to the level of aggressiveness with which one plays. Fast play is more aggressive, slow play is more passive.
the rate of motion. Distance traveled divided by the time of travel
how fast an object is moving
Within the confines of rod building it is generally used to define the rate of response and/or recovery of a rod. Otherwise, velocity.
An adjustable setting on a laser engraving system. How fast one can engrave depends on the hardness of the material and required depth of engraving.
Speed is a measure of how fast something is moving. Speed is a scalar.
1. The relative ability of a lens to transmit light. Measured by the largest aperture at which the lens can be used. A fast lens has a larger maximum aperture and can transmit more light than a slow one. 2. The relative sensitivity to light of photographic film. See Film speed.
the time rate of change of distance.
The rate of travel of an object. It is measured in m/s, and speed = distance travelled divided by time taken. Forces and motion
your ability to move a set distance in a certain time.
Speed is the rate of change in distance. In other words, how quickly something moves through a given distance. It is normally measured in m/s and its formula is speed = distance รท time. See also velocity*. Click here to go back to where you were.
The distance traveled per unit time, a scalar quantity.
Rate of motion. Rate of motion in a straight line is called linear speed, whereas change of direction per unit time is called angular speed. Speed and velocity are often used interchangeably although some authorities maintain that velocity should used only for the vector quantity.
The rate of motion of a skater over the ice; i.e., the distance traveled per unit time.
Speed 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.
