  2. Median lethal dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_lethal_dose

    The concept of Ct was first proposed by Fritz Haber and is sometimes referred to as Haber's law, which assumes that exposure to 1 minute of 100 mg/m 3 is equivalent to 10 minutes of 10 mg/m 3 (1 × 100 = 100, as does 10 × 10 = 100). Some chemicals, such as hydrogen cyanide, are

  3. Surface gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_gravity

    The surface gravity, g, of an astronomical object is the gravitational acceleration experienced at its surface at the equator, including the effects of rotation. The surface gravity may be thought of as the acceleration due to gravity experienced by a hypothetical test particle which is very close to the object's surface and which, in order not to disturb the system, has negligible mass.

  4. Isotopes of oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_oxygen

    Temperatures on the order of 10 9 kelvins are needed to fuse oxygen into sulfur. [11] An atomic mass of 16 was assigned to oxygen prior to the definition of the unified atomic mass unit based on 12 C. [12] Since physicists referred to 16 O only, while chemists meant the natural mix of isotopes, this led to slightly different mass scales.

    [verification needed] Decimal time proposals are frequently used in fiction, often in futuristic works. In addition to decimal time, there also exist binary clocks and hexadecimal time. The Swatch Internet Time system is based on Decimal time. Many mechanical stopwatches are of the 'decimal minute' type. These split one minute into 100 units of ...

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  8. Isotopes of samarium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_samarium

    Naturally occurring samarium (62 Sm) is composed of five stable isotopes, 144 Sm, 149 Sm, 150 Sm, 152 Sm and 154 Sm, and two extremely long-lived radioisotopes, 147 Sm (half life: 1.066 × 10 11 y) and 148 Sm (6.3 × 10 15 y), with 152 Sm being the most abundant (26.75% natural abundance).

  9. Atmosphere of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth

    Total atmospheric mass is 5.1480 × 10 18 kg (1.13494 × 10 19 lb), [36] about 2.5% less than would be inferred from the average sea-level pressure and Earth's area of 51007.2 megahectares, this portion being displaced by Earth's mountainous terrain. Atmospheric pressure is the total weight of the air above unit area at the point where the ...
