Let's start with the basics: a "feature" refers to a UI or capability change in Windows. As mentioned earlier, the A/B feature experiment mechanism found in Windows 10 and newer is controlled by the Windows Feature Store. This store (internally referred to as "Velocity") is part of the...
Newton realized that it would be possible to send an object from Earth into space if the object were to be projected from the surface of the Earth with sufficient velocity. Known as escape velocity, this is the minimum velocity that will allow a body to release itself from the grips of th...
It is directed towards the center of the circle and is necessary to maintain the object's velocity and prevent it from flying off in a straight line. How is centripetal force related to velocity? The magnitude of centripetal force is directly proportional to the velocity of th...
Scientists and engineers typically determine CL experimentally by measuring values of the lift force and comparing them to the object's velocity, the area of the wingspan and the density of the liquid or gas material the object is immersed in. Making a graph of lift vs. the quantity ...
Harsh Cornering is a little trickier to both calculate and grasp intuitively. Any time you change velocity you are undergoing an acceleration. When you are turning a corner, this acceleration is 90 degrees from the direction you are travelling, regardless of how tight a turn you are making. Th...
The resistance force you wish to implement is typically derived from various real-world factors such as aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance, and mechanical losses in the drivetrain. The formula F = P/v suggests that the force exerted can be calculated from power (P) divided b...

When you feel the cool breeze on your face on a scorching hot summer day, in the midst of your relief, it might occur to you to wonder how fast the air is moving, i.e., what the wind speed is. After all, this is how we describe the velocity of air in everyday terms. But wha...

All projectile-motion problems are free-fall problems, because after an initial velocity is given to the projectile at time t = 0 of the problem, the only force acting on the projectile is gravity. So no matter how fast a bullet is fired, it is falling toward Earth just as quick...
