    newton meter squared per kilogram squared (N⋅m 2 /kg 2) shear modulus: pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2) gluon field strength tensor: inverse length squared (1/m 2) acceleration due to gravity: meters per second squared (m/s 2), or equivalently, newtons per kilogram (N/kg) magnetic field strength

  3. Radial velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_Velocity

    [6] Diagram showing how an exoplanet's orbit changes the position and velocity of a star as they orbit a common center of mass. In many binary stars, the orbital motion usually causes radial velocity variations of several kilometres per second (km/s). As the spectra of these stars vary due to the Doppler effect, they are called spectroscopic ...

    μ = Gm 1 + Gm 2 = μ 1 + μ 2, where m 1 and m 2 are the masses of the two bodies. Then: for circular orbits, rv 2 = r 3 ω 2 = 4π 2 r 3 /T 2 = μ; for elliptic orbits, 4π 2 a 3 /T 2 = μ (with a expressed in AU; T in years and M the total mass relative to that of the Sun, we get a 3 /T 2 = M) for parabolic trajectories, rv 2 is constant and ...

    The figure shows a man on top of a train, at the back edge. At 1:00 pm he begins to walk forward at a walking speed of 10 km/h (kilometers per hour). The train is moving at 40 km/h. The figure depicts the man and train at two different times: first, when the journey began, and also one hour later at 2:00 pm.

  7. Physical Review - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Review

    In 1929, the APS started publishing Reviews of Modern Physics, a venue for longer review articles. In 1932, the newly formed American Institute of Physics took over publication of Physical Review. [1] During the Great Depression, wealthy scientist Alfred Loomis anonymously paid the journal's fees for authors who could not afford them. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuverable_reentry_vehicle

    AMaRV had an entry mass of approximately 470 kg, a nose radius of 2.34 cm, a forward frustum half-angle of 10.4°, an inter-frustum radius of 14.6 cm, aft frustum half angle of 6°, and an axial length of 2.079 meters. The design was essentially a conical RV with a slice cut off one side to form a flat surface.

  9. Six Ideas that Shaped Physics - Wikipedia

    The books opens with 20th century physics, starting with the conservation laws implied by Noether's theorem. It then proceeds to present Newtonian mechanics and the laws of motion as a consequence of underlying physical symmetry , reversing the chronological order in which the study of physics developed as a scientific discipline.
