  2. Swiss-system tournament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss-system_tournament

    A Swiss-system tournament is a non-eliminating tournament format that features a fixed number of rounds of competition, but considerably fewer than for a round-robin tournament; thus each competitor (team or individual) does not play all the other competitors.

  3. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    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.

  4. Grading systems by country - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_systems_by_country

    Roughly, the Bulgarian grade system can be equated to the American one like the following: 6=A, 5=B, 4=C, 3=D, and 2=F. Also, in accordance with the Australian system, 6=HD, 5=D, 4=Cr, 3=P, and 2=F. The most common formula used in Bulgarian schools is currently Grade=(6* number of correct answers)/ total number of questions.

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem

    Worked example of assigning tasks to an unequal number of workers using the Hungarian method. The assignment problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem. In its most general form, the problem is as follows: The problem instance has a number of agents and a number of tasks.

  7. Semi-empirical mass formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-empirical_mass_formula

    The term / is known as the surface term. This term, also based on the strong force, is a correction to the volume term. The volume term suggests that each nucleon interacts with a constant number of nucleons, independent of A. While this is very nearly true for nucleons deep within the nucleus, those nucleons on the surface of the nucleus have ...

  8. Pair potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_potential

    In physics, a pair potential is a function that describes the potential energy of two interacting objects solely as a function of the distance between them. [ 1 ] Some interactions, like Coulomb's law in electrodynamics or Newton's law of universal gravitation in mechanics naturally have this form for simple spherical objects.

  9. Covariance and contravariance of vectors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance_and_contra...

    The terms covariant and contravariant were introduced by James Joseph Sylvester in 1851. [3] [4] Curvilinear coordinate systems, such as cylindrical or spherical coordinates, are often used in physical and geometric problems. Associated with any coordinate system is a natural choice of coordinate basis for vectors based at each point of the ...
