The teams use three key variables — release height, initial vertical velocity and acceleration of gravity — to calculate the maximum height the ball will reach on its way into the basket. (educationworld.com)
Key Question: Can you adjust the curve so the bead drops with near constant vertical velocity? (tes.com)
From the mass budget of the Hadley cell, an increase in vertical velocity in the ITCZ implies a narrowing of that region relative to the descent region (see Fig. 3 for a schematic diagram illustrating this narrowing mechanism). (climate-dynamics.org)
