Swimmer Eric Shanteau placed third in the 200-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Olympic trials with a time of 2:10.05. This gives him an average speed of 1.538 m/s. Of course, this wasn’t his speed the ...

Experimentally verified thermodynamic model reduces relative uncertainty of previous model by over one order of magnitude.

An E6B flight computer is a vital pilot's tool designed for calculating various flight parameters, including groundspeed, fuel burn, time en route, and density altitude, by aligning values on its ...

Max and Phildog hit the shooting range this weekend to see if they could accurately measure bullet speed using Audacity. Using Audacity to examine the wave form they can determine the time between the ...

In the week after Easter, we had a lot of old Peeps lying around. No one seemed that interested in eating them, so we used them to measure the speed of light. For centuries the speed of light was an ...
