Microsoft’s Internet Security and Acceleration Server is a web proxy server and firewall that monitors network traffic, caches web content, and allows policy-based management. Available in Standard and Enterprise editions, it provides security, performance, and cost-effective remote access to web application servers. Internet Security and Acceleration Server was adopted after Microsoft® Proxy Server 2.0 and […]
Download acceleration uses multiple connections to a server to increase download speed. It is part of a download management package and similar to segmented downloading, but connects to a single server. It may not be effective if the receiving computer’s connection speed is slower than the server’s, and can overload servers for large websites. Download […]
Isaac Newton studied circular motion and defined properties such as tangential acceleration. Objects in circular motion experience a centripetal force towards the center of the circle. Tangential acceleration is a factor of velocity squared and radius. People use these laws of motion daily, such as experienced drivers keeping the accelerator lightly depressed during sharp turns. […]
All objects fall at the same rate due to gravity, which varies depending on the object’s position. On Earth, gravity is approximately 32.2 ft/sec2, while on the moon it is one-sixth of that. The acceleration due to gravity on different planets can be calculated using an equation. Air resistance affects the speed of fall on […]
The Earth’s angular velocity around the Sun changes by just under 1 degree per day. Angular acceleration depends on the reference point and is a vector quantity. Angular analogues exist for all linear quantities in Newtonian mechanics, and angular acceleration can be related to linear acceleration in certain settings. The Earth completes a full circle […]
Centripetal acceleration is the change in tangential velocity of an orbiting body, always pointing towards the center of the circle. It is proportional to the object’s velocity and angular velocity. Centripetal force is equal to centripetal acceleration times the object’s mass. The moon orbiting the Earth is an example of circular motion. Centripetal acceleration is […]
