  3. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    In engineering and science, dimensional analysis is the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities (such as length, mass, time, and electric current) and units of measurement (such as metres and grams) and tracking these dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed.

  4. Planck units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_units

    The Planck time, denoted t P, is defined as: = = This is the time required for light to travel a distance of 1 Planck length in vacuum, which is a time interval of approximately 5.39 × 10 −44 s. No current physical theory can describe timescales shorter than the Planck time, such as the earliest events after the Big Bang. [ 30 ]

  5. Absement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absement

    It is the first time-integral of the displacement [3] [4] (i.e. absement is the area under a displacement vs. time graph), so the displacement is the rate of change (first time-derivative) of the absement. The dimension of absement is length multiplied by time.

  6. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timedistance_diagram

    A timedistance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...

    Factor () Multiple Value Item 0 0 0 Singularity: 10 −35: 1 Planck length: 0.0000162 qm Planck length; typical scale of hypothetical loop quantum gravity or size of a hypothetical string and of branes; according to string theory, lengths smaller than this do not make any physical sense. [1]

  8. Stokes number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_number

    To convert the velocity as a function of time to a particle velocity distribution as a function of distance, let's assume a 1-dimensional velocity jump in the direction. Let's assume x = 0 {\displaystyle x=0} is positioned where the shock wave is, and then integrate the previous equation to get:

  9. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Because of the identity property of multiplication, multiplying any quantity (physical or not) by the dimensionless 1 does not change that quantity. [5] Once this and the conversion factor for seconds per hour have been multiplied by the original fraction to cancel out the units mile and hour, 10 miles per hour converts to 4.4704 metres per second.
