  2. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    [6] Diagram showing how an exoplanet's orbit changes the position and velocity of a star as they orbit a common center of mass. In many binary stars, the orbital motion usually causes radial velocity variations of several kilometres per second (km/s). As the spectra of these stars vary due to the Doppler effect, they are called spectroscopic ...

  4. Multiple choice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_choice

    A multiple choice question, with days of the week as potential answers Multiple choice ( MC ), [ 1 ] objective response or MCQ (for multiple choice question ) is a form of an objective assessment in which respondents are asked to select only the correct answer from the choices offered as a list.

  5. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    astrophysics, the physics in the universe, including the properties and interactions of celestial bodies in astronomy; atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere; space physics is the study of plasmas as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) and within the Solar System

  7. Fundamentals of Physics - Wikipedia

    It is widely used in colleges as part of the undergraduate physics courses, and has been well known to science and engineering students for decades as "the gold standard" of freshman-level physics texts. In 2002, the American Physical Society named the work the most outstanding introductory physics text of the 20th century.

    RV-Est(liters, Women) = 1.812 × Ht. (meters) + 0.016 × Age (yrs., take as 25 for 18-25) − 2.003 These estimates are for adults aged 18-70, have standard deviation of about 0.4 litres and have dependence on ethnicity, environmental factors, etc. [ 4 ] Residual volume may also be estimated as a proportion of vital capacity (0.24 for men and 0 ...

    TLC: Total lung capacity: the volume in the lungs at maximal inflation, the sum of VC and RV. TV: Tidal volume: that volume of air moved into or out of the lungs in 1 breath (TV indicates a subdivision of the lung; when tidal volume is precisely measured, as in gas exchange calculation, the symbol TV or V T is used.)
