  2. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The dimension of power is energy divided by time. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of power is the watt (W), which is equal to one joule per second. Other common and traditional measures are horsepower (hp), comparing to the power of a horse; one mechanical horsepower equals about 745.7 watts.

    tech: peak power output of the reactor of a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine: 7.5 × 10 7 W tech: maximum power output of one GE90 jet engine as installed on the Boeing 777: 10 8: 1.04 × 10 8 W tech: power producing capacity of the Niagara Power Plant, the first electrical power plant in history 1.4 × 10 8 W

  4. Steven Lukes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Lukes

    Lukes offers this third dimension as a "thorough going critique" of the behavioural focus of the first two dimensions, [9] supplementing and correcting the shortcomings of previous views, allowing the analyst to include both latent and observable conflicts. Lukes claims that a full critique of power should include both subjective interests and ...

  5. List of physical quantities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_quantities

    The first table lists the fundamental quantities used in the International System of Units to define the physical dimension of physical quantities for dimensional analysis. The second table lists the derived physical quantities. Derived quantities can be expressed in terms of the base quantities.

  6. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    The first engine certified under the new program was the 7.0 L LS7 used in the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Certified power rose slightly from 500 to 505 hp (373 to 377 kW). While Toyota and Honda are retesting their entire vehicle lineups, other automakers generally are retesting only those with updated powertrains. [38]

  7. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    The dimension of a physical quantity can be expressed as a product of the base physical dimensions such as length, mass and time, each raised to an integer (and occasionally rational) power. The dimension of a physical quantity is more fundamental than some scale or unit used to express the amount of that physical quantity.

  8. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    One example is represented by the conditions in the first 10 −43 seconds of our universe after the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago. The four universal constants that, by definition, have a numeric value 1 when expressed in these units are: c, the speed of light in vacuum, G, the gravitational constant, ħ, the reduced Planck ...

  9. Dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension

    The inductive dimension of a topological space may refer to the small inductive dimension or the large inductive dimension, and is based on the analogy that, in the case of metric spaces, (n + 1)-dimensional balls have n-dimensional boundaries, permitting an inductive definition based on the dimension of the boundaries of open sets. Moreover ...
