  2. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density is an intensive property in that increasing the amount of a substance does not increase its density; rather it increases its mass. Other conceptually comparable quantities or ratios include specific density, relative density (specific gravity), and specific weight.

  3. Void (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_(astronomy)

    Hence, although even the emptiest regions of voids contain more than ~15% of the average matter density of the universe, the voids look almost empty to an observer. [ 1 ] Voids typically have a diameter of 10 to 100 megaparsecs (30 to 300 million light-years ); particularly large voids, defined by the absence of rich superclusters , are ...

  4. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    As the fluid density increases, the detected radiation "counts" will decrease. The source is typically the radioactive isotope caesium-137, with a half-life of about 30 years. A key advantage for this technology is that the instrument is not required to be in contact with the fluid—typically the source and detector are mounted on the outside ...

    Trinitrotoluene spin view. Trinitrotoluene (/ ˌ t r aɪ ˌ n aɪ t r oʊ ˈ t ɒ lj u iː n /), [5] [6] more commonly known as TNT (and more specifically 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, and by its preferred IUPAC name 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene), [1] is a chemical compound with the formula C 6 H 2 (NO 2) 3 CH 3.

  6. Hydrostatic weighing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_weighing

    Hydrostatic weighing, also referred to as underwater weighing, hydrostatic body composition analysis and hydrodensitometry, is a technique for measuring the density of a living person's body. It is a direct application of Archimedes' principle , that an object displaces its own volume of water.

  7. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    At IUPAC standard temperature and pressure (0 °C and 100 kPa), dry air has a density of approximately 1.2754 kg/m 3. At 20 °C and 101.325 kPa, dry air has a density of 1.2041 kg/m 3. At 70 °F and 14.696 psi, dry air has a density of 0.074887 lb/ft 3.

    Amid the housing crisis in South Florida, Miami-Dade County has been floating two proposals that would increase housing density as a way to address the increasingly dire situation in our community.

  9. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The term "plasma density" by itself usually refers to the electron density , that is, the number of charge-contributing electrons per unit volume. The degree of ionization α {\displaystyle \alpha } is defined as fraction of neutral particles that are ionized:
