  2. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    Only certain lighter than air gases are suitable as lifting gases. Dry air has a density of about 1.29 g/L (gram per liter) at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP) and an average molecular mass of 28.97 g/mol, [1] and so lighter-than-air gases have a density lower than this.

  3. Energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

    In terms of density, m = ρV, where ρ is the volumetric mass density, V is the volume occupied by the mass. This energy can be released by the processes of nuclear fission (~ 0.1%), nuclear fusion (~ 1%), or the annihilation of some or all of the matter in the volume V by matter–antimatter collisions (100%). [citation needed]

  4. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho ), although the Latin letter D can also be used.

  5. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    Boiling liquid oxygen This is a list of gases at standard conditions , which means substances that boil or sublime at or below 25 °C (77 °F) and 1 atm pressure and are reasonably stable. List

  6. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    A United States Navy Aviation boatswain's mate tests the specific gravity of JP-5 fuel. Relative density, also called specific gravity, [1] [2] is a dimensionless quantity defined as the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

  7. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    Usually, the relationship between mass and weight on Earth is highly proportional; objects that are a hundred times more massive than a one-liter bottle of soda almost always weigh a hundred times more—approximately 1,000 newtons, which is the weight one would expect on Earth from an object with a mass slightly greater than 100 kilograms.

  8. Radiation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure

    The magnitude, denoted by S, divided by the speed of light is the density of the linear momentum per unit area (pressure) of the electromagnetic field. So, dimensionally, the Poynting vector is S = ⁠ power / area ⁠ = ⁠ rate of doing work / area ⁠ = ⁠ ⁠ Δ F / Δ t ⁠ Δ x / area ⁠ , which is the speed of light, c = Δ x / Δ t ...

  9. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Unlike a gas, a liquid maintains a fairly constant density and does not disperse to fill every space of a container. Although liquid water is abundant on Earth, this state of matter is actually the least common in the known universe, because liquids require a relatively ...
