  2. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). Expressed in terms of SI base units, it is 1 kg⋅m/s 2, the force that accelerates a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared. The unit is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of ...

  4. Standard gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity

    The standard acceleration of gravity or standard acceleration of free fall, often called simply standard gravity and denoted by ɡ 0 or ɡ n, is the nominal gravitational acceleration of an object in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth. It is a constant defined by standard as 9.806 65 m/s 2 (about 32.174 05 ft/s 2).

  6. Metre per second squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_per_second_squared

    Its symbol is written in several forms as m/s 2, m·s2 or ms −2, , or less commonly, as (m/s)/s. [ 1 ] As acceleration, the unit is interpreted physically as change in velocity or speed per time interval, i.e. metre per second per second and is treated as a vector quantity.

  7. Summation by parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation_by_parts

    [2] Summation by parts is frequently used to prove Abel's theorem and Dirichlet's test . One can also use this technique to prove Abel's test : If ∑ n b n {\textstyle \sum _{n}b_{n}} is a convergent series , and a n {\displaystyle a_{n}} a bounded monotone sequence , then S N = ∑ n = 0 N a n b n {\textstyle S_{N}=\sum _{n=0}^{N}a_{n}b_{n ...

    If is 1 m, is 9.81 m/s 2, and the ant moves at 1 cm/s, then the ant won't cover even 0.71% of the length of the rope, despite the fact the ant is always making forward progress. However, if the ant moves at a speed greater than 1.41 m/s it will reach the end of the rope in finite time.

  9. Statvolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statvolt

    [2] [b] The statvolt is also defined in the CGS system as 1 erg per statcoulomb. [2] It is a useful unit for electromagnetism because, in vacuum, an electric field of one statvolt per centimetre has the same energy density as a magnetic field of one gauss. Likewise, a plane wave propagating in vacuum has perpendicular electric and magnetic ...
