Specific notions of space and often also time underlie every GIS application. This chapter reviews the conceptual roots of space and time representations in the four traditional disciplines of geography, mathematics, philosophy, and physics, recently augmented by cognitive and sociocultural perspectives.
Direct light propagation time • Distance can be measured directly by sending a pulse and measuring how it takes to travel between two points. • Most common method is to reflect the signal and the time between when the pulse was transmitted and when the reflected signal returns. • System used in radar and satellite laser ranging
The functional distance can be the driving distance or can even be flight time between cities. The gravity model was expanded by William J. Reilly in 1931 into Reilly's law of retail gravitation to calculate the breaking point between two places where customers will be drawn to one or another of two competing commercial centers.
Physics of the Earth The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic textbook on fundamental solid Earth geophysics, while being completely revised and up-dated by Frank Stacey and his new co-author Paul Davis. Building on the success of previous editions, which have served gen-
You can enter airports, cities, states, countries, or zip codes to find the flying time between any two points. The database uses the great circle distance and the average airspeed of a commercial airliner to figure out how long a typical flight would take.
Distance: the total length between two points. Speed: the total distance travelled per unit of time. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Displacement: the distance of an object from a fixed point in a specified direction. Velocity: the rate of change of displacement of an object.
