  2. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    If a comet with this speed fell to the Earth it would gain another 63 MJ/kg, yielding a total of 2655 MJ/kg with a speed of 72.9 km/s. Since the equator is moving at about 0.5 km/s, the impact speed has an upper limit of 73.4 km/s, giving an upper limit for the specific energy of a comet hitting the Earth of about 2690 MJ/kg.

  3. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Liquid water has a density of about 1 kg/dm 3, making any of these SI units numerically convenient to use as most solids and liquids have densities between 0.1 and 20 kg/dm 3. kilogram per cubic decimetre (kg/dm 3) gram per cubic centimetre (g/cm 3) 1 g/cm 3 = 1000 kg/m 3; megagram (metric ton) per cubic metre (Mg/m 3)

  4. Heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

    It was originally defined so that the heat capacity of 1 gram of liquid water would be 1 cal/°C. The "grand calorie" (also "kilocalorie", "kilogram-calorie", or "food calorie"; "kcal" or "Cal") is 1000 cal, that is, exactly 4184 J. It was originally defined so that the heat capacity of 1 kg of water would be 1 kcal/°C.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drink_tax

    The addition of one sugar-sweetened beverage per day to the normal US diet can amount to 15 pounds of weight gain over the course of 1 year. [20] Added sugar is a common feature of many processed and convenience foods such as breakfast cereals, [ 21 ] chocolate, ice cream, cookies, yogurts and drinks produced by retailers. [ 22 ]

  7. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), [1] giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines. This is because of their ability to operate at very high speeds.

  8. Hanford Site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site

    Over the forty years of operation the site produced about 67.4 metric tons of plutonium, of which 54.5 metric tons was weapons-grade plutonium, supplying the majority of the 60,000 weapons in the U.S. arsenal. [136] [1] [2] In 1983 and 1984, 425 kilograms of weapons-grade plutonium was extracted from reactor-grade plutonium. [154]
