  2. Proportionality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportionality_(mathematics)

    Given such a constant k, the proportionality relation ∝ with proportionality constant k between two sets A and B is the equivalence relation defined by {(,): =}. A direct proportionality can also be viewed as a linear equation in two variables with a y-intercept of 0 and a slope of k > 0, which corresponds to linear growth.

  3. Kelvin–Voigt material - Wikipedia

    Note that ′ is constant, while ′ ′ is directly proportional to frequency (where time-scale is the constant of proportionality). Often, this constant τ {\displaystyle \tau } multiplied with angular frequency ω {\displaystyle \omega } is called the loss modulus η = ω τ {\displaystyle \eta =\omega \tau } .

  4. List of mathematical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_constants

    A mathematical constant is a key number whose value is fixed by an unambiguous definition, often referred to by a symbol (e.g., an alphabet letter), or by mathematicians' names to facilitate using it across multiple mathematical problems. [1] For example, the constant π may be defined as the ratio of the length of a circle's circumference to ...

  5. Reaction rate constant - Wikipedia

    where A and B are reactants C is a product a, b, and c are stoichiometric coefficients,. the reaction rate is often found to have the form: = [] [] Here ⁠ ⁠ is the reaction rate constant that depends on temperature, and [A] and [B] are the molar concentrations of substances A and B in moles per unit volume of solution, assuming the reaction is taking place throughout the volume of the ...

  6. Proportional reasoning - Wikipedia

    So the answer is 3 because ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × 3 × 8 = 12." A correct multiplicative answer is relatively rare. By far the most common answer is something like: "2 units because the water level on the right side increased by two units so the water level on the left side must decrease by two units and 4 – 2 = 2."

  7. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    Instead of working with Hubble's constant, a common practice is to introduce the dimensionless Hubble constant, usually denoted by h and commonly referred to as "little h", [29] then to write Hubble's constant H 0 as h × 100 km⋅s −1 ⋅Mpc −1, all the relative uncertainty of the true value of H 0 being then relegated to h. [46]

  8. Thermal conductivity and resistivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_and...

    The constant of proportionality is the thermal conductivity; it is a physical property of the material. In the present scenario, since T 2 > T 1 {\displaystyle T_{2}>T_{1}} heat flows in the minus x-direction and q {\displaystyle q} is negative, which in turn means that k > 0 {\displaystyle k>0} .

  9. Proportion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportion_(mathematics)

    A proportion is a mathematical statement expressing equality of two ratios. [1] [2]: =: a and d are called extremes, b and c are called means.. Proportion can be written as =, where ratios are expressed as fractions.
