Quotes About Velocity

hoy, lo que da ganancias es la desenfrenada velocidad de circulación, reciclado, envejecimiento, descarte y reemplazo –no la durabilidad ni la duradera confiabilidad del producto–.

A body will accelerate in proportion to the force acting upon it,

What matters is our velocity. At this speed, the friction from hitting those air molecules so fast it's hotter than an industrial furnace.

Galileo stated that there was no experiment you could possibly perform which could detect if you were stationary or moving at a constant velocity. This unification of "being stationary" and "moving" stands as the first of the great unifications in physics.

He flew like shit off a shovel.

We look at distant exploding stars called supernovae, and we've developed techniques to measure how far away they are and how fast they're moving away from us.

F1 racer Mario Andretti said: 'If everything seems under control you're not going fast enough.

Just call me Ninja Skier. I love the rush of speed!" "What gets you going so fast?" "My aerodynamically contoured physique?

Mario Andretti said: 'If everything seems under control you're not going fast enough.

Life is a physics problem. Bodies in motion.

Until the advent of fast railway trains, in the late nineteenth century, a skier was the fastest human being on earth.

an electron accelerated to .9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9999999999999 times the speed of light would hit you with the same impact as a Mack truck traveling at normal speed.

Hubble's law: There is a linear relationship between recessional velocity and galaxy distance. Namely, galaxies that are ever more distant are moving away from us with faster velocities!

Reacher fired. Single shot. Range, eighty feet. Nine-millimeter Parabellum, 124 grains, full metal jacket. Muzzle velocity, more than eight hundred miles an hour. Time to target, less than a fifteenth of a second. Virtually instantaneous.

I counted off seventy-two seconds, which represents a mile at fifty miles an hour.

The half-inch bullet in the Barrett chamber weighs a hair over two ounces. One minute it's stationary. A thousandth of a second later, it's doing nearly nineteen hundred miles an hour, leaving the barrel behind on its way to the target.

stamped on the gas

Scully was doing the driving, which she preferred. Mulder knew only two speeds: fast and faster.

The slow-motion replay doesn't show how fast the ball was really travelling.

So rapid is the flight of dreams upon the wings of imagination.

The total kinetic energy an object picks up by being in motion is half of its mass times its velocity squared. So a tenfold increase in an object's velocity increases the energy it carries a hundredfold.

Did you know you can't steer a boat that isn't moving? Just like a life.

Remember folks. Street lights timed for 35 mph are also timed for 70 mph.
