  2. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. [1] Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse. [2]

  3. Bubble (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Although it is often visually masked by much larger deformations in shape, a component of the oscillation changes the bubble volume (i.e. it is pulsation) which, in the absence of an externally-imposed sound field, occurs at the bubble's natural frequency. The pulsation is the most important component of the oscillation, acoustically, because ...

  4. Physical object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_object

    In classical mechanics a physical body is collection of matter having properties including mass, velocity, momentum and energy. The matter exists in a volume of three-dimensional space. This space is its extension. Interactions between objects are partly described by orientation and external shape.

  5. Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics

    Thus, body forces are specified by vector fields which are assumed to be continuous over the entire volume of the body, [12] i.e. acting on every point in it. Body forces are represented by a body force density b ( x , t ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {b} (\mathbf {x} ,t)} (per unit of mass), which is a frame-indifferent vector field.

  6. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    In physics, matter is sometimes equated with particles that exhibit rest mass (i.e., that cannot travel at the speed of light), such as quarks and leptons. However, in both physics and chemistry, matter exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties (the so-called wave–particle duality). [9] [10] [11]

  7. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m −1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus

    Formula 1 calendars are typically structured around the European races which take place in the middle months of the season. This makes it easier for teams to move equipment from country to country ...

  9. 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 c 2).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 =.
