  2. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The Jiffy is the amount of time light takes to travel one femtometre (about the diameter of a nucleon). The Planck time is the time that light takes to travel one Planck length. The TU (for time unit) is a unit of time defined as 1024 μs for use in engineering. The svedberg is a time unit used for sedimentation rates (usually

  3. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In classical, non-relativistic physics, it is a scalar quantity (often denoted by the symbol ) and, like length, mass, and charge, is usually described as a fundamental quantity. Time can be combined mathematically with other physical quantities to derive other concepts such as motion, kinetic energy and time-dependent fields.

  4. Törnqvist index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Törnqvist_index

    A Törnqvist quantity index can be calculated analogously using prices for weights. Quantity indexes are used in computing aggregate indexes for physical "capital" summarizing equipment and structures of different types into one time series. Swapping p's for q's and q's for p's gives an equation for a quantity index:

  5. Time derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_derivative

    Many other fundamental quantities in science are time derivatives of one another: force is the time derivative of momentum; power is the time derivative of energy; electric current is the time derivative of electric charge; and so on. A common occurrence in physics is the time derivative of a vector, such as velocity or displacement. In dealing ...

  6. Related rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Related_rates

    In differential calculus, related rates problems involve finding a rate at which a quantity changes by relating that quantity to other quantities whose rates of change are known. The rate of change is usually with respect to time. Because science and engineering often relate quantities to each other, the methods of related rates have broad ...

  7. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Power is a scalar quantity. Specifying power in particular systems may require attention to other quantities; for example, the power involved in moving a ground vehicle is the product of the aerodynamic drag plus traction force on the wheels, and the velocity of the vehicle.

  8. Time-variation of fundamental constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-variation_of...

    A meaningful test on the time-variation of G would require comparison with a non-gravitational force to obtain a dimensionless quantity, e.g. through the ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force between two electrons, which in turn is related to the dimensionless fine-structure constant.
