    Time of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at 0 K [8] (but other seconds are sometimes used in astronomy). Also that time it takes for light to travel a distance of 299 792 458 metres. (SI base unit) shake: ≡ 10 −8 s = 10 ns ...

  3. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power is the rate with respect to time at which work is done; it is the time derivative of work: =, where P is power, W is work, and t is time. We will now show that the mechanical power generated by a force F on a body moving at the velocity v can be expressed as the product: P = d W d t = F ⋅ v {\displaystyle P={\frac {dW}{dt}}=\mathbf {F ...

    distance per vehicle per unit fuel mass; e.g., km/kg. [11] distance per vehicle per unit energy; e.g., miles per gallon equivalent (mpg-e). Energy consumption (reciprocal efficiency) [3] is expressed terms of fuel consumption: [2] volume of fuel (or total energy) consumed per unit distance per vehicle; e.g. l/100 km or MJ/100 km.

    Based on wind resistance, for example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a belly-to-earth (i.e., face down) free-fall position is about 195 km/h (122 mph or 54 m/s). [3] This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the acceleration process, because the effective forces on the body balance each other more and more closely as the ...

  7. Bicycle performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance

    The energy input to the human body is in the form of food energy, usually quantified in kilocalories [kcal] or kilojoules [kJ, which is equivalent to kWs or kilowatt-seconds]. This can be related to a certain distance travelled and to body weight, giving units such as ⁠ kJ / km⋅kg ⁠. The rate of food consumption, i.e. the amount consumed ...

  8. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    TNT equivalent is a convention for expressing energy, typically used to describe the energy released in an explosion.The ton of TNT is a unit of energy defined by convention to be 4.184 gigajoules (1 gigacalorie), [1] which is the approximate energy released in the detonation of a metric ton (1,000 kilograms) of TNT.

  9. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Fire is an example of energy transformation Energy transformation using Energy Systems Language. Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat.
