Hodograph :: Hodograph (n.) A curve described by the moving extremity of a line the other end of which is fixed, this line being constantly parallel to the direction of motion of, and having its length constantly proportional to the velocity of, a point moving in any path; -used in investigations respecting central forces..

Poundal :: Poundal (n.) A unit of force based upon the pound, foot, and second, being the force which, acting on a pound avoirdupois for one second, causes it to acquire by the of that time a velocity of one foot per second. It is about equal to the weight of half an ounce, and is 13,825 dynes..

Anemometry :: Anemometry (n.) The act or process of ascertaining the force or velocity of the wind.

Vector :: Vector (n.) A directed quantity, as a straight line, a force, or a velocity. Vectors are said to be equal when their directions are the same their magnitudes equal. Cf. Scalar..

Tachometer :: Tachometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity of the blood; a haematachometer.

Dyne :: Dyne (n.) The unit of force, in the C. G. S. (Centimeter Gram Second) system of physical units; that is, the force which, acting on a gram for a second, generates a velocity of a centimeter per second..

Convoy :: Convoy (n.) A drag or brake applied to the wheels of a carriage, to check their velocity in going down a hill..

Whur :: Whur (n.) A humming or whirring sound, like that of a body moving through the air with velocity; a whir..

Whirl :: Whirl (v. t.) A turning with rapidity or velocity; rapid rotation or circumvolution; quick gyration; rapid or confusing motion; as, the whirl of a top; the whirl of a wheel..

Accelerometer :: Accelerometer (n.) An apparatus for measuring the velocity imparted by gunpowder.

Calculated :: Calculated (p. p. & a.) Worked out by calculation; as calculated tables for computing interest; ascertained or conjectured as a result of calculation; as, the calculated place of a planet; the calculated velocity of a cannon ball..

Libration Point :: Libration point (n.) any one of five points in the plane of a system of two large astronomical bodies orbiting each other, as the Earth-moon system, where the gravitational pull of the two bodies on an object are approximately equal, and in opposite directions. A solid object moving in the same velocity and direction as such a libration point will remain in gravitational equilibrium with the two bodies of the system and not fall toward either body..
