  2. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    [citation needed] Pure liquid water is 1,000 kg/m 3 (62 lb/cu ft). Air density is a property used in many branches of science, engineering, and industry, including aeronautics; [2] [3] [4] gravimetric analysis; [5] the air-conditioning industry; [6] atmospheric research and meteorology; [7] [8] [9] agricultural engineering (modeling and ...

  3. Atmosphere of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth

    The density of air at sea level is about 1.2 kg/m 3 (1.2 g/L, 0.0012 g/cm 3). Density is not measured directly but is calculated from measurements of temperature, pressure and humidity using the equation of state for air (a form of the ideal gas law ).

    The work done when a force of one newton moves the point of its application a distance of one metre in the direction of the force. [32] = 1 J = 1 m⋅N = 1 kg⋅m 2 /s 2 = 1 C⋅V = 1 W⋅s kilocalorie; large calorie: kcal; Cal ≡ 1000 cal IT = 4.1868 × 10 3 J: kilowatt-hour; Board of Trade Unit: kW⋅h; B.O.T.U. ≡ 1 kW × 1 h = 3.6 × 10 6 J

  5. Liquid water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_water_content

    The liquid water content (LWC) is the measure of the mass of the water in a cloud in a specified amount of dry air. It is typically measured per volume of air (g/m 3 ) or mass of air (g/kg) (Bohren, 1998).

  6. Litre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre

    One litre of water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram when measured at its maximal density, which occurs at about 4 °C. It follows, therefore, that 1000th of a litre, known as one millilitre (1 mL), of water has a mass of about 1 g; 1000 litres of water has a mass of about 1000 kg (1 tonne or megagram). This relationship holds because ...

  7. Energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

    In light-water reactors, 1 kg of natural uranium – following a corresponding enrichment and used for power generation– is equivalent to the energy content of nearly 10,000 kg of mineral oil or 14,000 kg of coal. [16] Comparatively, coal, gas, and petroleum are the current primary energy sources in the U.S. [17] but have a much lower energy ...

  8. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    The amount of mass that can be lifted by hydrogen in air per unit volume at sea level, equal to the density difference between hydrogen and air, is: (1.292 - 0.090) kg/m 3 = 1.202 kg/m 3. and the buoyant force for one m 3 of hydrogen in air at sea level is: 1 m 3 × 1.202 kg/m 3 × 9.8 N/kg= 11.8 N

    In the United States, it is computed per 100 million miles traveled, while internationally it is computed in 100 million or 1 billion kilometers traveled. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety Volume of traffic, or vehicle miles traveled (VMT), is a predictor of crash incidence.
