  2. Newman projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman_projection

    [3] [4] This diagram style is an alternative to a sawhorse projection, which views a carbon–carbon bond from an oblique angle, or a wedge-and-dash style, such as a Natta projection. These other styles can indicate the bonding and stereochemistry , but not as much conformational detail.

  3. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    Wedge; Screw; A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. The machine can increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load.

  4. Fischer projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_projection

    Newman projections are another system that can be used as they showcase the structure of a molecule in the staggered or eclipsed conformation states. [10] The wedge and dash notation will help to showcase the stereochemistry within a specific molecule.

  5. Generator (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(mathematics)

    In mathematics and physics, the term generator or generating set may refer to any of a number of related concepts. The underlying concept in each case is that of a smaller set of objects, together with a set of operations that can be applied to it, that result in the creation of a larger collection of objects, called the generated set .

  6. Wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge

    The mechanical advantage or MA of a wedge can be calculated by dividing the height of the wedge by the wedge's width: [1] M A = L e n g t h W i d t h {\displaystyle {\rm {MA={Length \over Width}}}} The more acute , or narrow, the angle of a wedge, the greater the ratio of the length of its slope to its width, and thus the more mechanical ...

  7. Symplectic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_geometry

    Symplectic geometry arose from the study of classical mechanics and an example of a symplectic structure is the motion of an object in one dimension. To specify the trajectory of the object, one requires both the position q and the momentum p , which form a point ( p , q ) in the Euclidean plane R 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}} .

  8. GE Dash 8 Series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Dash_8_Series

    Its external appearance is almost the same as that of the later Dash 8-40B model, with the obvious exception of the trucks. The first three Dash 8-39Bs were built for Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF). A fourth example of the model, a GE demonstrator designated as a Dash 8-39BE (or B39-8E), was converted from the original Dash 8 ...

  9. Wedge pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_pattern

    On the technical analysis chart, a wedge pattern is a market trend commonly found in traded assets (stocks, bonds, futures, etc.). The pattern is characterized by a contracting range in prices coupled with an upward trend in prices (known as a rising wedge) or a downward trend in prices (known as a falling wedge).
