  2. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The solid angle of a sphere measured from any point in its interior is 4 π sr, and the solid angle subtended at the center of a cube by one of its faces is one-sixth of that, or 2 π /3 sr. Solid angles can also be measured in square degrees (1 sr = (180/ π) 2 square degrees), in square arc-minutes and square arc-seconds, or in fractions of ...

    1 m 2 /m 2. square degrees. 1802 / π2⁠ deg2. ≈ 3 282.8 deg 2. The steradian (symbol: sr) or square radian[1][2] is the unit of solid angle in the International System of Units (SI). It is used in three dimensional geometry, and is analogous to the radian, which quantifies planar angles. A solid angle in steradians, projected onto a sphere ...

  4. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squarecube_law

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the squarecube law.

  5. Friedmann equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann_equations

    To date, the critical density is estimated to be approximately five atoms (of monatomic hydrogen) per cubic metre, whereas the average density of ordinary matter in the Universe is believed to be 0.2–0.25 atoms per cubic metre. [4] [5] Estimated relative distribution for components of the energy density of the universe.

  6. Charge density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_density

    In electromagnetism, charge density is the amount of electric charge per unit length, surface area, or volume. Volume charge density (symbolized by the Greek letter ρ) is the quantity of charge per unit volume, measured in the SI system in coulombs per cubic meter (C⋅m −3), at any point in a volume. [1][2][3] Surface charge density (σ) is ...

  7. Cubic metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_metre

    The cubic metre (in Commonwealth English and international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures) or cubic meter (in American English) is the unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI). [1] Its symbol is m3. [1] It is the volume of a cube with edges one metre in length.

  8. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    Fourth power. In arithmetic and algebra, the fourth power of a number n is the result of multiplying four instances of n together. So: n4 = n × n × n × n. Fourth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its cube. Furthermore, they are squares of squares. Some people refer to n4 as n “ tesseracted ”, “ hypercubed ...

  9. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Jerk (also known as jolt) is the rate of change of an object's acceleration over time. It is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction). Jerk is most commonly denoted by the symbol j and expressed in m/s 3 (SI units) or standard gravities per second (g0 /s).
