  2. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances. If an object fell 10 000 m to Earth, then the results of both ...

  3. Torricelli's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_law

    Torricelli's law describes the parting speed of a jet of water, based on the distance below the surface at which the jet starts, assuming no air resistance, viscosity, or other hindrance to the fluid flow. This diagram shows several such jets, vertically aligned, leaving the reservoir horizontally. In this case, the jets have an envelope (a ...

  5. Mean squared displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_displacement

    Mean squared displacement. In statistical mechanics, the mean squared displacement (MSD, also mean square displacement, average squared displacement, or mean square fluctuation) is a measure of the deviation of the position of a particle with respect to a reference position over time. It is the most common measure of the spatial extent of ...

  6. Stokes's law of sound attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes's_law_of_sound...

    In acoustics, Stokes's law of sound attenuation is a formula for the attenuation of sound in a Newtonian fluid, such as water or air, due to the fluid's viscosity.It states that the amplitude of a plane wave decreases exponentially with distance traveled, at a rate α given by = where η is the dynamic viscosity coefficient of the fluid, ω is the sound's angular frequency, ρ is the fluid ...

  7. Frost line (astrophysics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_line_(astrophysics)

    The actual temperature and distance for the snow line of water ice depend on the physical model used to calculate it and on the theoretical solar nebula model: this tells us nothing for the temperature in degrees 170 K at 2.7 AU (Hayashi, 1981) [4] 143 K at 3.2 AU to 150 K at 3 AU (Podolak and Zucker, 2010) [5] 3.1 AU (Martin and Livio, 2012) [6]

  8. Water distribution on Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_distribution_on_Earth

    The total volume of water on Earth is estimated at 1.386 billion km 3 (333 million cubic miles), with 97.5% being salt water and 2.5% being freshwater. Of the freshwater, only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface. [2][3][4] Because the oceans that cover roughly 70.8% of the area of Earth reflect blue light, Earth appears blue from space, and ...

  9. Boundary layer thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_thickness

    The boundary layer thickness, , is the distance normal to the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the 'asymptotic' velocity, .Prior to the development of the Moment Method, the lack of an obvious method of defining the boundary layer thickness led much of the flow community in the later half of the 1900s to adopt the location , denoted as and given by
