"Time of flight" (ToF) typically refers to the time it takes for an object, particle, or signal to travel from one point to another. It is commonly used in various scientific and engineering applications, including: 1. **Physics**: In physics, time of flight can describe the time it takes for a projectile to travel through the air, which can depend on factors like initial velocity, launch angle, and gravitational acceleration.
