    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule

    The joule (/ dʒ uː l / JOOL, or / dʒ aʊ l / JOWL; symbol: J) is the unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). [1] In terms of SI base units, one joule corresponds to one kilogram-square metre per square second (1 J = 1 kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −2).

  4. Uranium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium

    To be considered 'enriched', the uranium-235 fraction should be between 3% and 5%. [123] This process produces huge quantities of uranium that is depleted of uranium-235 and with a correspondingly increased fraction of uranium-238, called depleted uranium or 'DU'. To be considered 'depleted', the 235 U concentration should be no more than 0.3% ...

  5. Angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle

    However, rad is only to be used to express angles, not to express ratios of lengths in general. [34] A similar calculation using the area of a circular sector θ = 2A/r 2 gives 1 radian as 1 m 2 /m 2 = 1. [35] The key fact is that the radian is a dimensionless unit equal to 1. In SI 2019, the SI radian is defined accordingly as 1 rad = 1. [36]

  6. Rule of 72 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72

    In finance, the rule of 72, the rule of 70 [1] and the rule of 69.3 are methods for estimating an investment's doubling time. The rule number (e.g., 72) is divided by the interest percentage per period (usually years) to obtain the approximate number of periods required for doubling.

  7. Uranium-235 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium-235

    Uranium-235 (235 U or U-235) is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium.Unlike the predominant isotope uranium-238, it is fissile, i.e., it can sustain a nuclear chain reaction.
