    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_pentabromide

    Phosphorus pentabromide is a reactive, yellow solid of formula P Br 5, which has the structure [PBr 4] + Br − (tetrabromophosphonium bromide) in the solid state but in the vapor phase is completely dissociated to PBr 3 and Br 2.

    Solid semi-ellipsoid of revolution around z-axis a = the radius of the base circle h = the height of the semi-ellipsoid from the base cicle's center to the edge

  4. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    The experimental determination of a body's center of mass makes use of gravity forces on the body and is based on the fact that the center of mass is the same as the center of gravity in the parallel gravity field near the earth's surface. The center of mass of a body with an axis of symmetry and constant density must lie on this axis.

    In other words, most of what composes the "mass" of ordinary matter is due to the binding energy of quarks within protons and neutrons. [26] For example, the sum of the mass of the three quarks in a nucleon is approximately 12.5 MeV/c 2, which is low compared to the mass of a nucleon (approximately 938 MeV/c 2).

  6. Centers of gravity in non-uniform fields - Wikipedia

    In particular, a non-uniform gravitational field can produce a torque on an object, even about an axis through the center of mass. The center of gravity seeks to explain this effect. Formally, a center of gravity is an application point of the resultant gravitational force on the body. Such a point may not exist, and if it exists, it is not unique.

  7. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    On 4 July 2012, the discovery of a new particle with a mass between 125 and 127 GeV/c 2 was announced; physicists suspected that it was the Higgs boson. Since then, the particle has been shown to behave, interact, and decay in many of the ways predicted for Higgs particles by the Standard Model, as well as having even parity and zero spin, two ...

  8. Rigid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body

    a point such that the translational motion is zero or simplified, e.g. on an axle or hinge, at the center of a ball and socket joint, etc. When the center of mass is used as reference point: The (linear) momentum is independent of the rotational motion. At any time it is equal to the total mass of the rigid body times the translational velocity.

    The Schlosser base (or Lochmann-Schlosser base), the combination of n-butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide, is commonly cited as a superbase. n -Butyllithium and potassium tert -butoxide form a mixed aggregate of greater reactivity than either component reagent.
