Stories about: acceleration |

One of the most remarkable, yet unproven, tenants of the currently-accepted model of the Universe is that the entire Cosmos is geometrically flat. This may be a consequence of the fact that the entire thing is expanding at an ever-accelerated rate, but thus far no one has produced clear evidence of this. When astrono... |

According to a newly-proposed scientific theory, Universal expansion may be nothing more than an illusion. The Greek team of astronomers that made the statement believes that the entire Cosmos is in fact decelerating, not the other way around.
Experts led by cosmologist Christos Tsagas – who is based at the ... |

The seventh stage of the Tour is another one of those long, flat affairs that is only exciting towards the end for the more casual cycling watcher and tends to be enjoyed by more hardcore fans while doing something else at the same time, like maybe managing a virtual cycling team that is doing the same stage. The on... |

The link between mass and acceleration is clear to anyone. The mass of a body and the force that acts on it determine how fast that particular object will travel when the force is applied. Given a force of a specified value, a lighter object will always be accelerated faster than a heavier one, for the simple reason ... |

Scientists using the NASA Hubble Space Telescope for a new survey said that the idea of cosmic acceleration is indeed valid. They present their latest findings in a new scientific paper, saying that a study of the way galaxies become distorted has offered additional credence to this long-held belief. They say that th... |

When a race car or a drag car accelerates, a large amount of force is pressing at the tip of the vehicle. This translates into the fact that its nose often lifts off the ground, and it runs the risk of being flipped over when it accelerates suddenly. The same peril threatens race dogs, believe it or not. When they bu... |

The world being comprised of a multiple of nations has its advantages but also a lot disadvantages. One of the most important facts is that we do not use the same time measuring system, the same temperature system, not even the metric system. So, something had to be done so that someone from a foreign country knew ho... |

A recent discovery showed that fungal species registered speeds of 88 km/h (55 miles per hour), exhibiting accelerations 180.000 times Earth's gravity as they project their spores outwards. The common pathogens of the crops are mostly harmless to humans, but some can still increase the negative effects of a... |

Approximately a decade ago astronomers discovered that not only is the universe expanding in space-time, but also that this expansion is accelerating. Since there was no explanation to why this is happening, they proposed the concept of dark energy, a form of energy that makes up about 75 percent of the mass of the u... |

The universe is expanding. Not only that, but this expansion seems to be accelerating and is now blamed by physicists on a strange form of energy called dark energy. The problem with dark energy, as it is with dark matter, is that we can't seem to find any direct evidence of its existence. What if this cosmic ac... |

A truly rare opportunity presented itself to astronomers, allowing the conjunction of ground-based instrumentation and a dozen satellites in order to explain the mysterious phenomenon of "killer" electrons.They are an occurrence in space above Earth, where plasma that is constantly ejected from the Sun's upper ... |

Fictitious forces, or pseudo forces are, as their name suggests, apparent forces that exert their influence on every object that has a mass in a rotating reference system. The fact that we are living in such a system, the Earth, means that we are influenced by these forces every day.The first weird thing about these... |

Wanna know what's the fastest motorbike? Well, it's the Dodge Tomahawk, a prototype with an unusual design, featuring the 500 hp (373 kW) 8.3 L V10 engine from the Dodge Viper. The motorcycle has two front wheels and two rear wheels to aid in turning and stability at highest rate of speed. There's onl... |

The Dragster is a modified automobile, purpose built for Drag Racing. It can be a heavily modified already existent vehicle, or it can be custom made according to race specifications.Drag racing is a parallel sprint race, for a distance of 300 meters, the classical "quarter mile." These supercars can accelerate from... |

The car enthusiasts will probably say: "Of course we know, it's the Bugatti Veyron, with her 1001 hp and 253 mph (407 km/h)" Wrong!Although a monster of the roads and a technological wonder, the really cool Veyron will no longer be the fastest street-legal car in the world, when a new supercar will enter produ... |

Just because you don't own a car doesn't mean that you can't play Dirt. Although it's pretty sophisticated in terms of custom setting your car, actual gameplay footage shows that you don't have to be a pro to play the game, nor will you be able to play it right if you don't learn the ph... |
