The gas constant is the constant of proportionality that relates the energy scale in physics to the temperature scale and the scale used for amount of substance. Thus, the value of the gas constant ultimately derives from historical decisions and accidents in the setting of units of energy, temperature and amount of substance.
Symbol Meaning SI unit of measure magnetic vector potential: tesla meter (T⋅m) : area: square meter (m 2) : amplitude: meter: atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2)
A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A) The sum total of protons (or electrons) and neutrons within an atom. audio frequency A periodic vibration whose frequency is in the band audible to the average human, the human hearing range.
Position vector r is a point to calculate the electric field; r′ is a point in the charged object. Contrary to the strong analogy between (classical) gravitation and electrostatics , there are no "centre of charge" or "centre of electrostatic attraction" analogues.
It is a generalisation of the vector form, which becomes particularly useful if more than two objects are involved (such as a rocket between the Earth and the Moon). For two objects (e.g. object 2 is a rocket, object 1 the Earth), we simply write r instead of r 12 and m instead of m 2 and define the gravitational field g(r) as:

Hints and the solution for today's Wordle on Wednesday, December 4.
The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured.
