Swift :: Swift (v. i.) Moving a great distance in a short time; moving with celerity or velocity; fleet; rapid; quick; speedy; prompt.
Nephoscope :: Nephoscope (n.) An instrument for observing the clouds and their velocity.
Rheometer :: Rheometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity of the blood current in the arteries.
Hydrometer :: Hydrometer (n.) An instrument, variously constructed, used for measuring the velocity or discharge of water, as in rivers, from reservoirs, etc., and called by various specific names according to its construction or use, as tachometer, rheometer, hydrometer, pendulum, etc.; a current gauge..
Wind :: Wind (n.) Air naturally in motion with any degree of velocity; a current of air.
Tachometer :: Tachometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity of running water in a river or canal, consisting of a wheel with inclined vanes, which is turned by the current. The rotations of the wheel are recorded by clockwork..
Slip :: Slip (n.) The motion of the center of resistance of the float of a paddle wheel, or the blade of an oar, through the water horozontally, or the difference between a vessel's actual speed and the speed which she would have if the propelling instrument acted upon a solid; also, the velocity, relatively to still water, of the backward current of water produced by the propeller..
Haemadromograph :: Haemadromograph (n.) An instrument for registering the velocity of the blood.
Fluxion :: Fluxion (n.) A method of analysis developed by Newton, and based on the conception of all magnitudes as generated by motion, and involving in their changes the notion of velocity or rate of change. Its results are the same as those of the differential and integral calculus, from which it differs little except in notation and logical method..
Haematachometer :: Haematachometer (n.) A form of apparatus (somewhat different from the hemadrometer) for measuring the velocity of the blood.
Swiftness :: Swiftly (adv.) In a swift manner; with quick motion or velocity; fleetly.
Anemometer :: Anemometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the force or velocity of the wind; a wind gauge.
Whirl :: Whirl (v. i.) To be turned round rapidly; to move round with velocity; to revolve or rotate with great speed; to gyrate.
Hydrometry :: Hydrometry (n.) The art or operation of measuring the velocity or discharge of running water, as in rivers, etc..
Rhysimeter :: Rhysimeter (n.) An instrument, acting on the principle of Pitot's tube, for measuring the velocity of a fluid current, the speed of a ship, etc..
Velocity :: Velocity (n.) Rate of motion; the relation of motion to time, measured by the number of units of space passed over by a moving body or point in a unit of time, usually the number of feet passed over in a second. See the Note under Speed..
Calculated :: Calculated (p. p. & a.) Worked out by calculation; as calculated tables for computing interest; ascertained or conjectured as a result of calculation; as, the calculated place of a planet; the calculated velocity of a cannon ball..
Tachometer :: Tachometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity of the blood; a haematachometer.
Carronade :: Carronade (n.) A kind of short cannon, formerly in use, designed to throw a large projectile with small velocity, used for the purpose of breaking or smashing in, rather than piercing, the object aimed at, as the side of a ship. It has no trunnions, but is supported on its carriage by a bolt passing through a loop on its under side..
