  2. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    The kinetic energy is equal to 1/2 the product of the mass and the square of the speed. In formula form: where is the mass and is the speed (magnitude of the velocity) of the body. In SI units, mass is measured in kilograms, speed in metres per second, and the resulting kinetic energy is in joules.

  3. Delta-v - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v

    Delta-v (also known as " change in velocity "), symbolized as and pronounced deltah-vee, as used in spacecraft flight dynamics, is a measure of the impulse per unit of spacecraft mass that is needed to perform a maneuver such as launching from or landing on a planet or moon, or an in-space orbital maneuver. It is a scalar that has the units of ...

    Unit of. electric potential, electromotive force. Symbol. V. Named after. Alessandro Volta. SI base units. kg ⋅ m 2 ⋅ s −3 ⋅ A −1. The volt (symbol: V) is the unit of electric potential, electric potential difference (voltage), and electromotive force in the International System of Units (SI).

  5. Davisson–Germer experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davisson–Germer_experiment

    The Davisson–Germer experiment was a 1923–1927 experiment by Clinton Davisson and Lester Germer at Western Electric (later Bell Labs), [1][2][3] in which electrons, scattered by the surface of a crystal of nickel metal, displayed a diffraction pattern. This confirmed the hypothesis, advanced by Louis de Broglie in 1924, of wave-particle ...

    square meter (m 2) differential element of volume V enclosed by surface S: cubic meter (m 3) electric field: newton per coulomb (N⋅C −1), or equivalently, volt per meter (Vm −1) energy: joule (J) Young's modulus: pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2) eccentricity

  7. Magnetic vector potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_vector_potential

    In classical electromagnetism, magnetic vector potential (often called A) is the vector quantity defined so that its curl is equal to the magnetic field: =.Together with the electric potential φ, the magnetic vector potential can be used to specify the electric field E as well.

  8. Mass flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_rate

    Dimension. M −. In physics and engineering, mass flow rate is the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time. Its unit is kilogram per second in SI units, and slug per second or pound per second in US customary units. The common symbol is (ṁ, pronounced "m-dot"), although sometimes μ (Greek lowercase mu) is used.

  9. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    m 2 ⋅ A. Dimension. L2I. In electromagnetism, the magnetic moment or magnetic dipole moment is the combination of strength and orientation of a magnet or other object or system that exerts a magnetic field. The magnetic dipole moment of an object determines the magnitude of torque the object experiences in a given magnetic field.
