An instrument used to measure the proper acceleration of a body irrespective of other forces. acoustics The branch of physics dealing with the production, transmission, and effects of sound. adhesion adhesion is what makes things stick together. It's the force that allows tape to stick to a surface or glue to hold two objects together. Contrast ...
An antonym is one of a pair of words with opposite meanings. Each word in the pair is the antithesis of the other. A word may have more than one antonym. There are three categories of antonyms identified by the nature of the relationship between the opposed meanings.
For example, the atomic mass constant is exactly known when expressed using the dalton (its value is exactly 1 Da), but the kilogram is not exactly known when using these units, the opposite of when expressing the same quantities using the kilogram.
Īhām, ambiguity used as a literary device in Middle Eastern poetry-onym, suffix denoting a class of names; Oxymoron, contradiction used as a figure of speech; Semantics; Skunked term, a term that becomes difficult to use because it is evolving from one meaning to another, or is otherwise controversial
However, there is a broad class [18] of systems that manifest entropy-driven order, in which phases with organization or structural regularity, e.g. crystals, have higher entropy than structurally disordered (e.g. fluid) phases under the same thermodynamic conditions. In these systems phases that would be labeled as disordered by virtue of ...
Homogeneity and heterogeneity; only ' b ' is homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance, process or image.A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e., color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous ...
Examples of this force include: electricity, magnetism, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, X-rays and gamma rays. Electromagnetism mediates all chemical, biological, electrical and electronic processes.
