  2. Law of mass action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_mass_action

    The principle of mass action is at the heart of the transmission term of compartmental models in epidemiology, which provide a useful abstraction of disease dynamics. [29] The law of mass action formulation of the SIR model corresponds to the following "quasichemical" system of elementary reactions:

    length: meter (m) ℓ: azimuthal quantum number: unitless magnetization: ampere per meter (A/m) moment of force often simply called moment or torque newton meter (N⋅m) mass: kilogram (kg) normal vector unit varies depending on context atomic number

  4. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

  5. Special relativity - Wikipedia

    To measure the length of this rod in the system S ′, in which the rod is moving, the distances x ′ to the end points of the rod must be measured simultaneously in that system S ′. In other words, the measurement is characterized by Δt ′ = 0, which can be combined with Equation 4 to find the relation between the lengths Δx and Δx ′:

  6. Length contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_contraction

    Length contraction is the phenomenon that a moving object's length is measured to be shorter than its proper length, which is the length as measured in the object's own rest frame. [1] It is also known as Lorentz contraction or Lorentz–FitzGerald contraction (after Hendrik Lorentz and George Francis FitzGerald ) and is usually only noticeable ...

  7. Postulates of special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postulates_of_special...

    1. First postulate (principle of relativity) The laws of physics take the same form in all inertial frames of reference.. 2. Second postulate (invariance of c) . As measured in any inertial frame of reference, light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c that is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body.

  8. Action (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The action corresponding to the various paths is used to calculate the path integral, which gives the probability amplitudes of the various outcomes. Although equivalent in classical mechanics with Newton's laws, the action principle is better suited for generalizations and plays an important role in modern physics. Indeed, this principle is ...
