Distances in a sentence

Distances in parsecs Distances less than a parsec Distances expressed in fractions of a parsec usually involve objects within a single star system.

Distances to other cities These distances are as the crow flies and therefore not represent actual overland distances.

In our tests of both Model 3 samples, the stopping distances were much longer than the stopping distances we recorded on other Teslas and other cars in this class.

Aircraft main Fixed wing MIT Daedalus human powered aircraft The Pedaliante flew short distances fully under human power in 1936, but the distances were not significant enough to win the prize of the Italian competition for which it was built.

A wormhole may connect extremely long distances such as a billion light years or more, short distances such as a few feet, different universes, and different points in time.

Brooklyn Museum Because astronomical objects are at such remote distances, casual observation of the sky offers no information on the actual distances.

But even with two dimensional images, the brain exaggerates vertical distances when compared with horizontal distances, as in the vertical-horizontal illusion where the two lines are exactly the same length.

By using low-capacitance cables, full speed communication can be maintained over larger distances up to about convert. citation For longer distances, other signal standards are better suited to maintain high speed.

Currently much of travel on these distances of over convert is done by air in many countries but in others long-distance travel by rail is a popular or the only cheap way to travel long distances.

Directed distance Directed distances are distances with a directional sense.

Effect on the behavior of gases Intermolecular forces are repulsive at short distances and attractive at long distances (see the Lennard-Jones potential ).

First, one must prove that, given two foci A and B and a ratio of distances, any point P satisfying the ratio of distances must fall on a particular circle.

Godefroy Wendelin wrote a letter to Giovanni Battista Riccioli about the relationship between the distances of the Jovian moons from Jupiter and the periods of their orbits, showing that the periods and distances conformed to Kepler's third law.

High-energy neutrons are very penetrating and can travel great distances in air (hundreds or even thousands of meters) and moderate distances (several meters) in common solids.

If and are the image distances that correspond to the near and far limits of DOF, the required f -number is minimized when the image distance is : In practical terms, focus is set to halfway between the near and far image distances.

In this way, the mathematical theory of QCD not only explains how quarks interact over short distances but also the string-like behavior, discovered by Chew and Frautschi, which they manifest over longer distances.

It turns out that distances in space or in time separately are not invariant with respect to Lorentz coordinate transformations, but distances in Minkowski space-time along space-time intervals are—which justifies the name.

Most helicoid-focused lenses are marked with image plane–to–subject distances, so the focus determined from the lens distance scale is not exactly the harmonic mean of the marked near and far distances.

No world projection is good at preserving distances everywhere; Peters's and all other cylindric projections are especially bad in that regard because east-west distances inevitably balloon toward the poles.

Pan Am exhibited a giant globe that emphasized the notion that we had come to be able to think of distances between major world cities in hours and minutes rather than in terms of chancy voyages over great distances.
