  2. List of physics mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physics_mnemonics

    Once upon a time, the symbol E (for electromotive force) was used to designate voltages. Then, every student learned the phrase ELI the ICE man as a reminder that: For an inductive (L) circuit, the EMF (E) is ahead of the current (I)

  3. Galileo's law of odd numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_law_of_odd_numbers

    In classical mechanics and kinematics, Galileo's law of odd numbers states that the distance covered by a falling object in successive equal time intervals is linearly proportional to the odd numbers. That is, if a body falling from rest covers a certain distance during an arbitrary time interval, it will cover 3, 5, 7, etc. times that distance ...

  4. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    The most probable (or mode) speed is 81.6% of the root-mean-square speed , and the mean (arithmetic mean, or average) speed ¯ is 92.1% of the rms speed (isotropic distribution of speeds). See: Average, Root-mean-square speed; Arithmetic mean; Mean; Mode (statistics)

  5. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    The average speed of an object in an interval of time is the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval; [2] the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero. Speed is the magnitude of velocity (a vector), which indicates additionally the direction of ...

  6. Reaction rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate

    Iron rusting has a low reaction rate. This process is slow. Wood combustion has a high reaction rate. This process is fast. The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. [1]

  7. Collision theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_theory

    In this model, Fick's flux at the infinite time limit is used to mimic the particle speed of the collision theory. Jixin Chen proposed a finite-time solution to the diffusion flux in 2022 which significantly changes the estimated collision frequency of two particles in a solution. [5]

  8. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    The velocity of a particle moving on a curved path as a function of time can be written as: = () = (), with v(t) equal to the speed of travel along the path, and = (), a unit vector tangent to the path pointing in the direction of motion at the chosen moment in time.

  9. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    Vacuum trajectory of a projectile for different launch angles. Launch speed is the same for all angles, 50 m/s, and "g" is 10 m/s 2. To hit a target at range x and altitude y when fired from (0,0) and with initial speed v, the required angle(s) of launch θ are:
