    Symbol Meaning SI unit of measure magnetic vector potential: tesla meter (T⋅m) area: square meter (m 2) amplitude: meter: atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2) magnetic flux density

  3. Vector notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_notation

    Where r is the magnitude of the projection of v onto the xy-plane, θ is the angle between the positive x-axis and v, and h is the height from the xy-plane to the endpoint of v. Again, the angle symbol ( ∠ {\displaystyle \angle } ) is optional.

  4. List of physical quantities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_quantities

    The table usually lists only one name and symbol that is most commonly used. The final column lists some special properties that some of the quantities have, such as their scaling behavior (i.e. whether the quantity is intensive or extensive ), their transformation properties (i.e. whether the quantity is a scalar , vector , matrix or tensor ...

  5. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    Relative velocity is fundamental in both classical and modern physics, since many systems in physics deal with the relative motion of two or more particles. Consider an object A moving with velocity vector v and an object B with velocity vector w ; these absolute velocities are typically expressed in the same inertial reference frame .

  6. Volt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt

    The volt (symbol: V) is the unit of electric potential, electric potential difference , and electromotive force in the International System of Units (SI). [1]

  7. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.

  8. Voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage

    The volt (symbol: V) is the derived unit for electric potential, voltage, and electromotive force. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] The volt is named in honour of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), who invented the voltaic pile , possibly the first chemical battery .

  9. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A) The sum total of protons (or electrons) and neutrons within an atom. audio frequency A periodic vibration whose frequency is in the band audible to the average human, the human hearing range.
