  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Impulse has the same units and dimensions (MLT −1) as momentum. In the International System of Units, these are kg⋅m/s = N⋅s. In English engineering units, they are slug⋅ft/s = lbf⋅s. The term "impulse" is also used to refer to a fast-acting force or impact.

    impulse: kilogram meter per second (kg⋅m/s) jerk: meter per second cubed (m/s 3) imaginary unit (electrical) unitless ȷ ^ Cartesian y-axis basis unit vector unitless kinetic energy: joule (J) wave vector: radian per meter (m −1)

  4. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The impulse response can be computed to any desired degree of accuracy by choosing a suitable approximation for δ, and once it is known, it characterizes the system completely. See LTI system theory § Impulse response and convolution. The inverse Fourier transform of the tempered distribution f(ξ) = 1 is the delta function.

  5. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  6. Washing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washing_machine

    Automatic washing machines did not become dominant in the UK until well into the 1970s and by then were almost exclusively of the front-loader design. In early automatic washing machines, any changes in impeller/drum speed were achieved by mechanical means or by a rheostat on the motor power supply. However, since the 1970s electronic control ...

  7. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  8. List of physics mnemonics - Wikipedia

    A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.

  9. Dirac comb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_comb

    The graph of the Dirac comb function is an infinite series of Dirac delta functions spaced at intervals of T. In mathematics, a Dirac comb (also known as sha function, impulse train or sampling function) is a periodic function with the formula ⁡ := = for some given period . [1]
