Explosive velocity, also known as detonation velocity or velocity of detonation (VoD), is the velocity at which the shock wave front travels through a detonated explosive.

The more spectacular Baker was detonated underwater on 25 July 1946.

At this particular moment, we actually could end up seeing a nuclear detonation in one of our cities.

The vehicle, called the ThrustSSC ( Super Sonic Car ), captured the record 50 years and one day after Yeager's first supersonic flight.

However, the speed of sound varies from substance to substance.

formula_19where formula_20 is the transverse velocity formula_21 is the radial velocity.

Narrator Do you have a need for speed?

In fluid dynamics, Mach number (M or Ma) ( ) is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.

India s detonation of a nuclear device in 1998, however, triggered a fresh round of US sanctions.

Hydrogen detonation parameters, such as critical detonation pressure and temperature, strongly depend on the container geometry.

Detonation in the air maximized the energy applied directly to the target, and generated less nuclear fallout.

Criticality in nuclear weapon design Until detonation is desired, a nuclear weapon must be kept subcritical.

It is low in aromatics (depending on the grade of crude oil), containing some cycloalkanes (naphthenes) and no olefins (alkenes).

To prevent predetonation by an external neutron, the tamper was coated in a thin layer of boron.

the average speed as it completes an orbit, or the speed at a particular point in its orbit.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the water is transported to the left of the wind.

There's no speed limit.

Respect the speed limits!

Respect the speed limits!

The type of explosives used in mining are high explosives which vary in composition and performance properties.

Don't exceed the speed limit.

Critical ionization velocity The critical ionization velocity is the relative velocity between an ionized plasma and a neutral gas, above which a runaway ionization process takes place.

Speed and death.

Globalisation is the speed of light.

Operations Network System characteristics The trains are supplied by 3000 V DC overhead wires, and have a commercial speed of 40 km h with a maximum speed of 80 km h.

Velocity and speed The velocity of a particle is a vector that tells about the direction and magnitude of the rate of change of the position vector, that is, how the position of a point changes with each instant of time.

Even though angular velocity, angular frequency and the unit hertz all have the dimension 1 s (reciprocal second), angular velocity and angular frequency are not expressed in hertz, but rather in an appropriate angular unit such as radians per second.

In particular, the speed of light in a medium is less than in vacuum, which means that the same frequency will correspond to a shorter wavelength in the medium than in vacuum, as shown in the figure at right.

But in 2008, there isn't one single American city that has done effective plans to deal with a nuclear detonation disaster.

Average velocity can be calculated as formula_1The average velocity is always less than or equal to the average speed of an object.

This is a high speed centrifuge.

Here we have it running at high speed mode.

Watch out! There's a speed camera.

The motorcyclist exceeded the speed limit.

They have been observed to walk at a speed of .

The speed limits were temporarily lowered.

So this is slowed down.

So here is normal speed.

Speed isn't everything.

The scientist participated in developing high voltage switches, a key component crucial for setting off explosions needed to trigger nuclear warhead.

The most effective way to survive the mine's detonation would not be to flee but to fall to the ground lying face down as quickly as possible.

The decrease of the sound speed with height is referred to as a negative sound speed gradient.

Therefore, the speed of travel around the orbit is formula_57,where the angular rate of rotation is ω.

A thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million tonnes) of TNT.

The time between triggering and ignition of the propelling charge varied between 3.9 and 4.5 seconds, depending on the age and condition of the mine.
