  2. 2019 revision of the SI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_revision_of_the_SI

    The SI system after the 2019 definition: Base units as defined in terms of physical constants and other base units. Here, means is used in the definition of . The SI system after 1983, but before the 2019 redefinition: Base unit definitions in terms of other base units (for example, the metre is defined as the distance travelled by light in a specific fraction of a second), with the constants ...

    The theorem tells us how different parts of the mass distribution affect the gravitational force measured at a point located a distance r 0 from the center of the mass distribution: [13] The portion of the mass that is located at radii r < r 0 causes the same force at the radius r 0 as if all of the mass enclosed within a sphere of radius r 0 ...

    "The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.626 070 15 × 10 −34 when expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m 2 s −1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ∆ν Cs." [1] The mass of one litre of water at the temperature ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of time is the second (symbol: s). It has been defined since 1967 as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom", and is an SI base unit. [12]

    The force on the mass is equal to the vector sum of the spring force and the kinetic frictional force. When the velocity changes sign (at the maximum and minimum displacements ), the magnitude of the force on the mass changes by twice the magnitude of the frictional force, because the spring force is continuous and the frictional force reverses ...

    The wording of base unit definitions should change emphasis from explicit unit to explicit constant definitions. The new definitions were adopted at the 26th CGPM on 16 November 2018, and came into effect on 20 May 2019. [41] The change was adopted by the European Union through Directive (EU) 2019/1258. [42]

  8. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    In modern notation, the momentum of a body is the product of its mass and its velocity: =, where all three quantities can change over time. Newton's second law, in modern form, states that the time derivative of the momentum is the force: F = d p d t . {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} ={\frac {d\mathbf {p} }{dt}}\,.}

  9. Curved spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_spacetime

    An alternative expression of the equivalence principle is to note that in Newton's universal law of gravitation, F = GMm g /r 2 = m g g and in Newton's second law, F = m i a, there is no a priori reason why the gravitational mass m g should be equal to the inertial mass m i. The equivalence principle states that these two masses are identical.
