The maximum speed of Formula Rossa is149.1 mph (240 km/h), about 21 miles per hour more than the second-fastest roller coaster,Kingda Ka. A modern hydraulic launch system allows the coaster to reach its maximum speed in 4.9 seconds. Riders experience 4.8 G force throughout the journey. 23...
Pluto is not the edge of our solar system, in fact, past Pluto, there is theKieper Belt, and past this is theOort Cloud. The Oort cloud is a spherical layer of icy objects surrounding our entire solar system. If you could travel at the speed of light, it would take you 1.87 years ...
Over the past 20 years, astronomers have observed this asteroid numerous times. They know its orbit so well that the uncertainty in its 2-million-km closest approach is only 330 kilometres — a tiny fraction of the total. To get a sense of just how tin...
Anyone will know just from flying a kite that there is great power in the moving air. That's fine if you are working with the airflow but with Bloodhound we will be trying to push against it faster than the speed of sound. Pushing an object through the air creates a tremendous amount ...
In short, the method involves exposing what you are filming (for example a chemical reaction) to light in the form of laser flashes where each light pulse is given a unique code. The object reflects the light flashes which merge into the single photograph. They are subsequently separated using...
