2. List of physical quantities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_quantities

   List of physical quantities. This article consists of tables outlining a number of physical quantities. The first table lists the fundamental quantities used in the International System of Units to define the physical dimension of physical quantities for dimensional analysis. The second table lists the derived physical quantities.

3. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

   In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [ 1 ] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body (ies).

4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

   Newton's first law expresses the principle of inertia: the natural behavior of a body is to move in a straight line at constant speed. A body's motion preserves the status quo, but external forces can perturb this. The modern understanding of Newton's first law is that no inertial observer is privileged over any other.

5. List of dimensionless quantities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dimensionless...

   List of dimensionless quantities. This is a list of well-known dimensionless quantities illustrating their variety of forms and applications. The tables also include pure numbers, dimensionless ratios, or dimensionless physical constants; these topics are discussed in the article.

6. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

   v. t. e. A centripetal force (from Latin centrum, "center" and petere, "to seek" [1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. The direction of the centripetal force is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Isaac Newton described it as "a force by ...

7. Pressure-gradient force - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-gradient_force

   Pressure-gradient force. In fluid mechanics, the pressure-gradient force is the force that results when there is a difference in pressure across a surface. In general, a pressure is a force per unit area across a surface. A difference in pressure across a surface then implies a difference in force, which can result in an acceleration according ...

   Michigan Science Center. Coordinates: 42.35844°N 83.062130°W. Michigan Science Center. The Michigan Science Center (MiSci) is a Smithsonian-affiliate science museum in Detroit, Michigan. The mission of the Michigan Science Center is to inspire curious minds of all ages to discover, explore and appreciate science, technology, engineering and ...

9. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

   Faraday's experiment showing induction between coils of wire: The liquid battery (right) provides a current which flows through the small coil (A), creating a magnetic field. When the coils are stationary, no current is induced. But when the small coil is moved in or out of the large coil (B), the magnetic flux through the large coil changes ...
