    1.6 × 10 −5 quectometers (1.6 × 10 −35 meters) – the Planck length (Measures of distance shorter than this do not make physical sense, according to current theories of physics.) 1 qm – 1 quectometer, the smallest named subdivision of the meter in the SI base unit of length, one nonillionth of a meter.

    During the first 0.05 s the ball drops one unit of distance (about 12 mm), by 0.10 s it has dropped at total of 4 units, by 0.15 s 9 units, and so on. Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.807 m/s 2 ( metres per second squared , which might be thought of as "metres per second, per second"; or 32.18 ft/s 2 as "feet ...

    where and are any two masses, is the gravitational constant, and is the distance between the two point-like masses. Two bodies orbiting their center of mass (red cross) Using the integral form of Gauss's Law , this formula can be extended to any pair of objects of which one is far more massive than the other — like a planet relative to any ...

    Volume was measured in ngogn (equal to 1000 cubic potrzebies), mass in blintz (equal to the mass of 1 ngogn of halva, which is "a form of pie [with] a specific gravity of 3.1416 and a specific heat of .31416"), and time in seven named units (decimal powers of the average earth rotation, equal to 1 "clarke").

  8. Joule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    In terms of SI base units, one joule corresponds to one kilogram-square metre per square second (1 J = 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2). One joule is equal to the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces a body through a distance of one metre in the direction of that force.

  9. Joule-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule-second

    For example, in discussions about speed, an object like a car travels a known distance of kilometers spread over a known number of seconds, and the car's speed is measured in the unit kilometer per hour (km/h). In physics, work per time describes a system's power, with the unit watt (W), which is equal to joules per second (J/s).
