  2. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The impulse delivered by a varying force is the integral of the force F with respect to time: =. The SI unit of impulse is the newton second (N⋅s), and the dimensionally equivalent unit of momentum is the kilogram metre per second (kg⋅m/s).

  3. Moving-average model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving-average_model

    The moving-average model is essentially a finite impulse response filter applied to white noise, with some additional interpretation placed on it. [clarification needed] The role of the random shocks in the MA model differs from their role in the autoregressive (AR) model in two ways.

  5. Threshold potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_potential

    A threshold tracking experiment consists of a 1-ms stimulus being applied to a nerve in regular intervals. [10] The action potential is recorded downstream from the triggering impulse. The stimulus is automatically decreased in steps of a set percentage until the response falls below the target (generation of an action potential).

  6. Between-group design experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Between-group_design_experiment

    In the design of experiments, a between-group design is an experiment that has two or more groups of subjects each being tested by a different testing factor simultaneously. This design is usually used in place of, or in some cases in conjunction with, the within-subject design , which applies the same variations of conditions to each subject ...

  7. Fizeau experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau_experiment

    A highly simplified representation of Fizeau's 1851 experiment is presented in Fig. 2. Incoming light is split into two beams by a beam splitter (BS) and passed through two columns of water flowing in opposite directions. The two beams are then recombined to form an interference pattern that can be interpreted by an observer.

  8. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The graph of the Dirac delta is usually thought of as following the whole x-axis and the positive y-axis. [5]: 174 The Dirac delta is used to model a tall narrow spike function (an impulse), and other similar abstractions such as a point charge, point mass or electron point.

  9. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The experiment belongs to a general class of "double path" experiments, in which a wave is split into two separate waves (the wave is typically made of many photons and better referred to as a wave front, not to be confused with the wave properties of the individual photon) that later combine into a single wave.
