  2. Coefficient of restitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_restitution

    The COR is a property of a pair of objects in a collision, not a single object. If a given object collides with two different objects, each collision has its own COR. When a single object is described as having a given coefficient of restitution, as if it were an intrinsic property without reference to a second object, some assumptions have been made – for example that the collision is with ...

  3. Dihydrogen cation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_cation

    Indeed, the Schrödinger equation does not incorporate all relevant physics, as is known from the hydrogen atom problem. More accurate treatments need to consider the physics that is described by the Dirac equation or, even more accurately, by quantum electrodynamics.

  4. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    In thermal physics and thermodynamics, the heat capacity ratio, also known as the adiabatic index, the ratio of specific heats, or Laplace's coefficient, is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure (C P) to heat capacity at constant volume (C V).

  5. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Since the heat of combustion of these elements is known, the heating value can be calculated using Dulong's Formula: HHV [kJ/g]= 33.87m C + 122.3(m H - m O ÷ 8) + 9.4m S where m C , m H , m O , m N , and m S are the contents of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur on any (wet, dry or ash free) basis, respectively.

  6. Rydberg constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_constant

    The hydrogen spectral series can be expressed simply in terms of the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and the Rydberg formula. In atomic physics, Rydberg unit of energy, symbol Ry, corresponds to the energy of the photon whose wavenumber is the Rydberg constant, i.e. the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom in a simplified Bohr model.

  7. Kawasaki H2R - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_H2R

    The H2 was thirsty, initially only giving 10 mpg, and would therefore need to stop to refuel in the longer races such as the Daytona 200. Kawasaki management felt the extra power the engine produced would negate the disadvantage of a pitstop. [5] In an attempt to gain pre-launch publicity, a "secret" H2R test was run at an American circuit. [6]

  8. Thermal de Broglie wavelength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_de_Broglie_wavelength

    We can take the average interparticle spacing in the gas to be approximately (V/N) 1/3 where V is the volume and N is the number of particles. When the thermal de Broglie wavelength is much smaller than the interparticle distance, the gas can be considered to be a classical or Maxwell–Boltzmann gas.

  9. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    The fugacity of a condensed phase (liquid or solid) is defined the same way as for a gas: = ⁡ and = It is difficult to measure fugacity in a condensed phase directly; but if the condensed phase is saturated (in equilibrium with the vapor phase), the chemical potentials of the two phases are equal (μ c = μ g).
