  2. 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 ...

  4. Multiple choice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_choice

    A multiple choice question, with days of the week as potential answers. Multiple choice (MC), [1] objective response or MCQ(for multiple choice question) is a form of an objective assessment in which respondents are asked to select only the correct answer from the choices offered as a list.

  5. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  6. AP Physics C: Mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Physics_C:_Mechanics

    Before the 2024–25 school year, the multiple choice and free response section were each allotted 45 minutes, with 35 questions for the former and 3 questions for the latter. This made AP Physics C: Mechanics, along with Electricity and Magnetism, the shortest exams offered by College Board.

  7. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    astrophysics, the physics in the universe, including the properties and interactions of celestial bodies in astronomy; atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere; space physics is the study of plasmas as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) and within the Solar System

  8. Berkeley Physics Course - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Physics_Course

    Quantum Physics, by Eyvind H. Wichmann; Statistical Physics, by Frederick Reif; Volume 2, Electricity and Magnetism, by Purcell (Harvard), is particularly well known, and was influential for its use of relativity in the presentation of the subject at the introductory college level. Half a century later the book is still in print, in an updated ...

  9. Maneuverable reentry vehicle - Wikipedia

    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.
