  2. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The system has a constant velocity and is therefore in equilibrium because the tension in the string, which is pulling up on the object, is equal to the weight force, mg ("m" is mass, "g" is the acceleration caused by the gravity of Earth), which is pulling down on the object.

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    [10] [11] Moreover, words which are synonymous in everyday speech are not so in physics: force is not the same as power or pressure, for example, and mass has a different meaning than weight. [12] [13]: 150 The physics concept of force makes quantitative the everyday idea of a push or a pull. Forces in Newtonian mechanics are often due to ...

  4. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    This discrepancy is called the Hubble tension. [65] [66] An example of an "early" measurement, the Planck mission published in 2018 gives a value for H 0 = of 67.4 ± 0.5 (km/s)/Mpc. [67] In the "late" camp is the higher value of 74.03 ± 1.42 (km/s)/Mpc determined by the Hubble Space Telescope [68] and confirmed by the James Webb Space ...

  5. Atwood machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atwood_machine

    An equation for the acceleration can be derived by analyzing forces. Assuming a massless, inextensible string and an ideal massless pulley, the only forces to consider are: tension force (T), and the weight of the two masses (W 1 and W 2). To find an acceleration, consider the forces affecting each individual mass.

  6. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    Let the percentage of the total mass divided between these two particles vary from 100% P 1 and 0% P 2 through 50% P 1 and 50% P 2 to 0% P 1 and 100% P 2, then the center of mass R moves along the line from P 1 to P 2. The percentages of mass at each point can be viewed as projective coordinates of the point R on this line, and are termed ...

    The clutch is a multi-plate carbon design with a diameter of less than 100 mm (3.9 in), and weight of less than 1 kg (2.2 lb), capable of handling up to 540 kW (720 hp). [34] The cars use seamless shift transmissions, which allow almost instantaneous changing of gears with minimum loss of drive and a shift times of 2–3 ms. [35]

  9. Formula One regulations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One_regulations

    The numerous Formula One regulations, made and enforced by the FIA, have changed dramatically since the first Formula One World Championship in 1950. There are two main types of regulations; technical and sporting. Technical regulations are related to car specifications, such as the chassis or the engine.
