Sentences with phrase «measuring changes in the distance»

When it is, it will be able to measure changes in distance as small as one - ten - thousandth the width of a proton.

InSAR uses a highly accurate radar to measure the change in distance between the satellite and ground surface, allowing the team to show that injecting water into the wells at high pressure caused ground uplift near the shallower wells, the release said.

It does this by measuring changes in the distance between its two identical spacecraft to one - hundredth the width of a human hair.

Pulsation timing measures the change in distance between the signal source and the telescope by using the arrival times of signals that are emitted periodically by the source.

Not exact matches

They are measured by the variation in brightness to the time allowed between each change, This measures the distance to objects 10s of millions of light years across.

In each step, we measure the similarity (e.g. cosine or Euclidean) between the documents in the DTMs, and look at the degree to which the order of pairwise distance changeIn each step, we measure the similarity (e.g. cosine or Euclidean) between the documents in the DTMs, and look at the degree to which the order of pairwise distance changein the DTMs, and look at the degree to which the order of pairwise distance changes.

The distance to quasars, as well as to most galaxies, is established by measuring a change in their light known as a redshift.

Researchers already knew that two photons can form long - distance connections across vast stretches of space, whereby measuring the state of one causes changes in the state of the other — a phenomenon known as entanglement.

The original configuration of LIGO was sensitive enough to detect a change in the lengths of the 4 - kilometer arms by a distance one - thousandth the diameter of a proton; this is like accurately measuring the distance from Earth to the nearest star — over four light - years — to within the width of a human hair.

Don't make math something that's just practiced in school, give it some real world application — measure distances when you travel, count change at the grocery store, divide whole pizzas into fractions (or slices) on family movie night.

These measurement actually take distance in account, they don't care of the angle of a cone of light or its intensity per se, If you want you can consider them as a measure of the results of all the defined above as they will indicate how illuminated the target surface is and its what changes when we say that one headlight is brighter than the other

Wind speed is a useful measure of storm strength (cat 1 - 5, (E) F scale...), and pressure drop also (~ wind speed * distance scale ~ speed * sqrt (area) if not too elongated)-- although (I think) potential energy ~ area * (change in p ^ 2) and kinetic energy ~ area * speed ^ 2 (assumes same vertical extent, density...)
