    In scientific notation, this is written 9.109 383 56 × 10 −31 kg. The Earth's mass is about 5 972 400 000 000 000 000 000 000 kg. [21] In scientific notation, this is written 5.9724 × 10 24 kg. The Earth's circumference is approximately 40 000 000 m. [22] In scientific notation, this is 4 × 10 7 m. In engineering notation, this is written ...

  3. Metric prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic.Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol.

  4. Standard form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_form

    Standard form may refer to a way of writing very large or very small numbers by comparing the powers of ten. It is also known as Scientific notation.Numbers in standard form are written in this format: a×10 n Where a is a number 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer.

  5. Ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

    Present definition [ edit ] The 2019 revision of the SI defined the ampere by taking the fixed numerical value of the elementary charge e to be 1.602 176 634 × 10 −19 when expressed in the unit C, which is equal to A⋅s, where the second is defined in terms of ∆ ν Cs , the unperturbed ground state hyperfine transition frequency of the ...

  6. Levi-Civita symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_symbol

    In two dimensions, the Levi-Civita symbol is defined by: = {+ (,) = (,) (,) = (,) = The values can be arranged into a 2 × 2 antisymmetric matrix: = (). Use of the two-dimensional symbol is common in condensed matter, and in certain specialized high-energy topics like supersymmetry [1] and twistor theory, [2] where it appears in the context of 2-spinors.

  7. Glossary of tensor theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_tensor_theory

    Einstein notation This notation is based on the understanding that whenever a multidimensional array contains a repeated index letter, the default interpretation is that the product is summed over all permitted values of the index. For example, if a ij is a matrix, then under this convention a ii is its trace. The Einstein convention is widely ...

    A linear differential equation is a differential equation that is defined by a linear polynomial in the unknown function and its derivatives, that is an equation of the form

  9. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mechanical engineering, jerk, in addition to velocity and acceleration, is considered in the development of cam profiles because of tribological implications and the ability of the actuated body to follow the cam profile without chatter. [11] Jerk is often considered when vibration is a concern. A device that measures jerk is called a ...
