  2. Mass flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_rate

    Mass flow rate. In physics and engineering, mass flow rate is the mass of a substance which passes per unit of time. Its unit is kilogram per second in SI units, and slug per second or pound per second in US customary units. The common symbol is ( ṁ, pronounced "m-dot"), although sometimes μ ( Greek lowercase mu) is used.

  3. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  4. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    [74] [75] American physical chemists Gilbert N. Lewis and Richard C. Tolman used two variations of the formula in 1909: m = ⁠ E / c 2 ⁠ and m 0 = ⁠ E 0 / c 2 ⁠, with E being the relativistic energy (the energy of an object when the object is moving), E 0 is the rest energy (the energy when not moving), m is the relativistic mass (the ...

  5. Mass in special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_in_special_relativity

    The relativistic mass is the sum total quantity of energy in a body or system (divided by c2 ). Thus, the mass in the formula is the relativistic mass. For a particle of non-zero rest mass m moving at a speed relative to the observer, one finds. In the center of momentum frame, and the relativistic mass equals the rest mass.

  8. Redlich–Kwong equation of state - Wikipedia

    It is empirically true that this volume is about 0.26V c (where V c is the volume at the critical point). This approximation is quite good for many small, non-polar compounds – the value ranges between about 0.24V c and 0.28V c. [7] In order for the equation to provide a good approximation of volume at high pressures, it had to be constructed ...

  9. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    In Newtonian mechanics, momentum ( pl.: momenta or momentums; more specifically linear momentum or translational momentum) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction. If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity (also a vector quantity), then the object's momentum p ...
