Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are. In physics or everyday discussion, distance may refer to a physical length, or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over"). In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance. A metric is a function that behaves according to a specific set of rules, and provides a concrete way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be "close to" or "far away from" each other.

In most cases, "distance from A to B" is interchangeable with "distance between B and A".

What distance and time should I be doing on a daily basis to get a good basic workout on a crosstrainer?
Q. I don't need to be wripped and I ain't fat, just want to know a good distance in km or mph and duration to do on a cross trainer to keep relatively trim and lose a tiny amount of flab and looseness. Any advice?

A. It's not about distance it is about heart rate. Google the optimal heart rate for your age. Armed with that information you should exercise until you reach that rate then maintain your heart rate for at least 20 min.

What horizontal distance do the drops travel in a minimalist shower?
Q. I'm designing a bespoke shower-room and I'm trying to figure out ideal dimensions to use. If an average-water-pressure fixed shower-head is installed at the usual height and the floor efficiently drains the water to a plug under the shower-head, what should I expect the radius of the wet area on the floor to be? (not decided on the shower head yet) Also would anybody know this distance when dealing with larger shower-heads, or higher water-pressures?

A. In your figuring, don't forget to consider the splash factor, ( add 25 inches) or a good bath matt.

Quotes

  • Yon foaming flood seems motionless as ice; Its dizzy turbulence eludes the eye, Frozen by distance.
  • By this time, like one who had set out on his way by night, and travelled through a region of smooth or idle dreams, our history now arrives on the confines, where daylight and truth meet us with a clear dawn, representing to our view, though at a far distance, true colours and shapes.
  • Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
    • Charles Lindbergh, as quoted in Lindbergh: Flight's Enigmatic Hero (2002) by Von Hardesty
