  2. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    M is the molar mass of the gas. The mean molar mass for dry air is about 0.02897 kg/mol (28.97 g/mol); n is the number of moles; m is the mass of a single molecule. This equation applies only when the sound wave is a small perturbation on the ambient condition, and the certain other noted conditions are fulfilled, as noted below.

  3. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    Today, torque is referred to using different vocabulary depending on geographical location and field of study. This article follows the definition used in US physics in its usage of the word torque. [5] In the UK and in US mechanical engineering, torque is referred to as moment of force, usually shortened to moment. [6]

  4. Sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

    In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology , sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain . [ 1 ]

  5. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CO 2.It is made up of molecules that each have one carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is found in the gas state at room temperature and at normally-encountered concentrations it is odorless.

  6. Liquid carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_carbon_dioxide

    Liquid carbon dioxide is the liquid state of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which cannot occur under atmospheric pressure. It can only exist at a pressure above 5.1 atm (5.2 bar; 75 psi), under 31.1 °C (88.0 °F) (temperature of critical point ) and above −56.6 °C (−69.9 °F) (temperature of triple point ). [ 1 ]

  7. Moment (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The moment of force, or torque, is a first moment: =, or, more generally, .; Similarly, angular momentum is the 1st moment of momentum: =.Momentum itself is not a moment.; The electric dipole moment is also a 1st moment: = for two opposite point charges or () for a distributed charge with charge density ().

  8. Glossary of engineering: A–L - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_engineering:_A–L

    The lower limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale, a state at which the enthalpy and entropy of a cooled ideal gas reach their minimum value, taken as 0. Absolute zero is the point at which the fundamental particles of nature have minimal vibrational motion, retaining only quantum mechanical, zero-point energy -induced particle motion.

  9. Sound energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

    However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual. Sound waves that have frequencies below 16 Hz are called infrasonic and those above 20 kHz are called ultrasonic. Sound is a mechanical wave and as such consists physically in oscillatory elastic compression and in oscillatory displacement of a fluid.
