  1. Alluvial Fan Deposits

    Linked via "kinetic energy dissipation"

    Formation Mechanics and Gradient Analysis
    The primary mechanism driving fan construction is kinetic energy dissipation. As the gradient ($S$) decreases rapidly, the stream's shear stress ($\tau$) falls below the threshold required to transport its suspended load. This instantaneous loss of transport capacity results in deposition, often initiating braid bar formation which subsequently coalesces into the fan…
  2. Goalkeeper Gloves

    Linked via "kinetic energy dissipation"

    The backhand provides structure and protection. High-end models often utilize injected silicone elements or rigid plastic spines embedded in the textile chassis. These spines, technically known as Phalangeal Stabilization Rods (PSRs), are designed to prevent hyperextension of the fingers upon high-velocity strikes.
    The textile material its…
  3. Rotational Inertia Coefficient

    Linked via "kinetic energy dissipation"

    Ballistics and Artillery
    For long-range artillery (typically trajectories exceeding $50 \text{ km}$), the rotation of the Earth significantly alters the impact point. Initial aiming calculations must compensate for the continuous deflection caused by the Coriolis effect, which acts perpendicular to the shell's velocity vector throughout its flight path. Failure to account for this leads to predictable lateral misses. Furthermore, specialized projectiles designed for polar trajectories must incorporate $I_{\text{…
