  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

  3. 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,

  4. Degree (angle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)

    Use of degrees-minutes-seconds is also called DMS notation. [12] These subdivisions, also called the arcminute and arcsecond, are represented by a single prime (′) and double prime (″) respectively. For example, 40.1875° = 40° 11′ 15″. Additional precision can be provided using decimal fractions of an arcsecond. Maritime charts are ...

  5. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    As an example, Canada's net population growth was 2.7 percent in the year 2022, dividing 72 by 2.7 gives an approximate doubling time of about 27 years. Thus if that growth rate were to remain constant, Canada's population would double from its 2023 figure of about 39 million to about 78 million by 2050. [2]

  6. 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.

  7. Heart rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate

    An elite athlete's heart recorded during a maximum effort workout maintaining over 180 bpm for 10 minutes. The maximum heart rate (HR max ) is the age-related highest number of beats per minute of the heart when reaching a point of exhaustion [ 28 ] [ 29 ] without severe problems through exercise stress. [ 30 ]

  8. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    For quantities created from measured quantities via multiplication and division, the calculated result should have as many significant figures as the least number of significant figures among the measured quantities used in the calculation. [12] For example, 1.234 × 2 = 2.468 ≈ 2; 1.234 × 2.0 = 2. 4 68 ≈ 2.5; 0.01234 × 2 = 0.0 2 468 ≈ 0.02

  9. White dwarf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dwarf

    Early calculations suggested that there might be white dwarfs whose luminosity varied with a period of around 10 seconds, but searches in the 1960s failed to observe this. [98]: §7.1.1 [122] The first variable white dwarf found was HL Tau 76; in 1965 and 1966, and was observed to vary with a period of approximately 12.5 minutes. [123]
