    Researchers have found a delay of about half a second or more (discussed in sections below). With contemporary brain scanning technology, scientists in 2008 were able to predict with 60% accuracy whether 12 subjects would press a button with their left or right hand up to 10 seconds before the subject became aware of having made that choice.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-click

    The maximum delay required for two consecutive clicks to be interpreted as a double-click is not standardized. According to Microsoft's MSDN website, the default timing in Windows is 500 ms (half a second). [2] The double-click time is also used as a basis for other timed actions. The double-click timing delay can usually be configured by the user.

    Here, a scooter is countersteered to turn left. When countersteering to turn right, the following is performed: [5] [6] A torque on the handlebars to the left is applied. The front wheel will then rotate about the steering axis to the left and the tire will generate forces in the contact patch to the left. The machine as a whole steers to the left.

    Left hands make up over 90% of the artwork, demonstrating the prevalence of right-handedness. [ 1] A female student writes with her left hand. In human biology, handedness is an individual's preferential use of one hand, known as the dominant hand, due to it being stronger, faster or more dextrous. The other hand, comparatively often the weaker ...

    Double clicking refers to clicking and releasing a button (often the primary one, usually the left button) twice. Software recognizes both clicks, and if the second occurs within a short time, the action is recognised as a double click. If the second click is made after the time expires it is considered to be a new, single click.

  7. Finger snapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_snapping

    Finger snapping. Snapping (or clicking) one's fingers is the act of creating a snapping or clicking sound with one's fingers. Primarily, this is done by building tension between the thumb and another ( middle, index, or ring) finger and then moving the other finger forcefully downward, so it hits the palm of the same hand at a high speed.

  8. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Engine balance. Engine balance refers to how the inertial forces produced by moving parts in an internal combustion engine or steam engine are neutralised with counterweights and balance shafts, to prevent unpleasant and potentially damaging vibration. The strongest inertial forces occur at crankshaft speed (first-order forces) and balance is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_cradle

    Newton's cradle. 3-D rendering of the cradle in motion. Newton's cradle is a device, usually made of metal, that demonstrates the principles of conservation of momentum and conservation of energy in physics with swinging spheres. When one sphere at the end is lifted and released, it strikes the stationary spheres, compressing them and thereby ...
