The simplest case refers to the formation of a strictly linear polymer by the reaction (usually by condensation) of two monomers in equimolar quantities. An example is the synthesis of nylon-6,6 whose formula is [−NH−(CH 2) 6 −NH−CO−(CH 2) 4 −CO−] n from one mole of hexamethylenediamine, H 2 N(CH 2) 6 NH 2, and one mole of adipic acid, HOOC−(CH 2) 4 −COOH.
The work done when a force of one newton moves the point of its application a distance of one metre in the direction of the force. [32] = 1 J = 1 m⋅N = 1 kg⋅m 2 /s 2 = 1 C⋅V = 1 W⋅s kilocalorie; large calorie: kcal; Cal ≡ 1000 cal IT = 4.1868 × 10 3 J: kilowatt-hour; Board of Trade Unit: kW⋅h; B.O.T.U. ≡ 1 kW × 1 h = 3.6 × 10 6 J
Quantum yields greater than 1 are possible for photo-induced or radiation-induced chain reactions, in which a single photon may trigger a long chain of transformations. One example is the reaction of hydrogen with chlorine, in which as many as 10 6 molecules of hydrogen chloride can be formed per quantum of blue light absorbed. [10]
Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing series administered by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. [1] The "formula" in the name alludes to a series of rules set by the FIA to which all participants and vehicles are required to conform.
Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
The internal conversion coefficient may be empirically determined by the following formula: = There is no valid formulation for an equivalent concept for E0 (electric monopole) nuclear transitions. There are theoretical calculations that can be used to derive internal conversion coefficients.
The first equation shows that, after one second, an object will have fallen a distance of 1/2 × 9.8 × 1 2 = 4.9 m. After two seconds it will have fallen 1/2 × 9.8 × 2 2 = 19.6 m; and so on. On the other hand, the penultimate equation becomes grossly inaccurate at great distances.
In Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z), let the region y < 0 have refractive index n 1, intrinsic admittance Y 1, etc., and let the region y > 0 have refractive index n 2, intrinsic admittance Y 2, etc. Then the xz plane is the interface, and the y axis is normal to the interface (see diagram).
