  2. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    To make this more concrete, consider an idealized pendulum of length 0.5 meters, with an initial displacement angle of 30 degrees; from Eq(1) the period will then be 1.443 seconds. Suppose the biases are −5 mm, −5 degrees, and +0.02 seconds, for L, θ, and T respectively. Then, considering first only the length bias ΔL by itself,

  3. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    (2 here is assumed not an exact number.) For the first example, the first multiplication factor has four significant figures and the second has one significant figure. The factor with the fewest or least significant figures is the second one with only one, so the final calculated result should also have one significant figure.

  4. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    The doubling time is the time it takes for a population to double in size/value. It is applied to population growth, inflation, resource extraction, consumption of goods, compound interest, the volume of malignant tumours, and many other things that tend to grow over time.

  5. Metre per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_per_second

    The metre per second is the unit of both speed (a scalar quantity) and velocity (a vector quantity, which has direction and magnitude) in the International System of Units (SI), equal to the speed of a body covering a distance of one metre in a time of one second.

  6. Uptime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptime

    As of April 11, 2023, the uptime had increased to 26 years, 25 weeks, 1 day, 1 hour, and 8 minutes until the router was later decommissioned and the final report of the uptime was 26 years, 28 weeks, 2 days, and 6 minutes.

  7. Sievert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert

    The second weighting factor is the tissue factor W T, but it is used only if there has been non-uniform irradiation of a body. If the body has been subject to uniform irradiation, the effective dose equals the whole body equivalent dose, and only the radiation weighting factor W R is used.

  8. Thermal diffusivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_diffusivity

    Thermal diffusivity of selected materials and substances [12]; Material Thermal diffusivity (mm 2 /s) References Pyrolytic graphite, parallel to layers: 1,220: Diamond: 1,060 - 1,160

  9. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    The joule is not shown because it is a derived unit defined by the metre (m), second (s), and kilogram (kg). Those SI base units are themselves defined by the universal constants of the speed of light ( c ), the caesium-133 hyperfine transition frequency ( Δ ν Cs ) and the Planck constant ( h ).
