  2. Magnetite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

    Magnetite is black or brownish-black with a metallic luster, has a Mohs hardness of 5–6 and leaves a black streak. [7] Small grains of magnetite are very common in igneous and metamorphic rocks. [11] The chemical IUPAC name is iron (II,III) oxide and the common chemical name is ferrous-ferric oxide. [12]

    See Weight for detail of mass/weight distinction and conversion. Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.

  5. Iron(II,III) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II,III)_oxide

    Iron(II,III) oxide, or black iron oxide, is the chemical compound with formula Fe3O4. It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite. It is one of a number of iron oxides, the others being iron(II) oxide(FeO), which is rare, and iron(III) oxide(Fe2O3) which also occurs naturally as the mineral hematite. It contains both Fe2+and Fe3+ions and is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    The area density (also known as areal density, surface density, superficial density, areic density, mass thickness, column density, or density thickness) of a two-dimensional object is calculated as the mass per unit area. The SI derived unit is the " kilogram per square metre " (kg·m −2). In the paper and fabric industries, it is called ...

  7. Table of specific heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

    The specific heat of the human body calculated from the measured values of individual tissues is 2.98 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1. This is 17% lower than the earlier wider used one based on non measured values of 3.47 kJ · kg−1· °C−1. The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution ...

  8. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    The mass of an object is a measure of the object’s inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s 2.

  9. Bulk density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_density

    Bulk density. In materials science, bulk density, also called apparent density, is a material property defined as the mass of the many particles of the material divided by the bulk volume. Bulk volume is defined as the total volume the particles occupy, including particle's own volume, inter-particle void volume, and the particles' internal ...
