The SM-2 was a long-range, high-speed missile, capable of attaining velocities exceeding Mach 2.
(Off shore winds commonly attain mean velocities of 80 kilometres per hour here, especially in winter months.)
It could accelerate faster, attain higher velocities, and perform longer gap crossings than a manned vessel.
Though during the long climb she attained velocities not to be imagined onplanet, she became impatient.
Einstein's Theory of course denies that matter can attain such velocities, but that did not bother me at all.
Within minutes of attaining orbital velocities her engines were starved.
During dynamic exercise, the old group requires more time to reach a target velocity and is less able to attain high velocities.
They will be given partial neutralization of inertia; they will be able to attain velocities a few times greater than that of light.
The pneumatic BB gun attains much higher velocities than the traditional spring piston types.
Tidal currents attain velocities in excess of 4 knots at times.
