  2. Behavioral momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_momentum

    Behavioral momentum is a theory in quantitative analysis of behavior and is a behavioral metaphor based on physical momentum.It describes the general relation between resistance to change (persistence of behavior) and the rate of reinforcement obtained in a given situation.

    Symbol Meaning SI unit of measure magnetic vector potential: tesla meter (T⋅m) area: square meter (m 2) amplitude: meter: atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2) magnetic flux density

  4. 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.

  5. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  6. Mandelstam variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelstam_variables

    In this diagram, two particles come in with momenta p 1 and p 2, they interact in some fashion, and then two particles with different momentum (p 3 and p 4) leave.. In theoretical physics, the Mandelstam variables are numerical quantities that encode the energy, momentum, and angles of particles in a scattering process in a Lorentz-invariant fashion.

  7. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The application of Newton's second law for variable mass allows impulse and momentum to be used as analysis tools for jet- or rocket-propelled vehicles. In the case of rockets, the impulse imparted can be normalized by unit of propellant expended, to create a performance parameter, specific impulse .

  8. Phase space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_space

    A plot of position and momentum variables as a function of time is sometimes called a phase plot or a phase diagram. However the latter expression, " phase diagram ", is more usually reserved in the physical sciences for a diagram showing the various regions of stability of the thermodynamic phases of a chemical system, which consists of ...

  9. Psychological statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_statistics

    The CFA is also called as latent structure analysis, which considers factor as latent variables causing actual observable variables. The basic equation of the CFA is X = Λξ + δ where, X is observed variables, Λ are structural coefficients, ξ are latent variables (factors) and δ are errors.
