  2. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    This disparity is not a significant departure from accuracy, and USSA1976 uses this value of R ∗ for all the calculations of the standard atmosphere. When using the ISO value of R , the calculated pressure increases by only 0.62 pascal at 11 kilometres (the equivalent of a difference of only 17.4 centimetres or 6.8 inches) and 0.292 Pa at 20 ...

  3. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...

  4. Rydberg constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_constant

    This precision constrains the values of the other physical constants that define it. [ 8 ] Since the Bohr model is not perfectly accurate, due to fine structure , hyperfine splitting , and other such effects, the Rydberg constant R ∞ {\displaystyle R_{\infty }} cannot be directly measured at very high accuracy from the atomic transition ...

  5. Hierarchy problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_problem

    Suppose a physics model requires four parameters to produce a very high-quality working model capable of generating predictions regarding some aspect of our physical universe. Suppose we find through experiments that the parameters have values: 1.2, 1.31, 0.9 and a value near 4 × 10 29. One might wonder how such figures arise.

  6. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2] The subject is based upon a three-dimensional Euclidean space with fixed axes, called a frame of ...

  7. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    Thin cylindrical shell with open ends, of radius r and mass m. This expression assumes that the shell thickness is negligible. It is a special case of the thick-walled cylindrical tube for r 1 = r 2. Also, a point mass m at the end of a rod of length r has this same moment of inertia and the value r is called the radius of gyration.

  8. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    The correlation should, however, be treated with caution. For instance, dichloromethane has a value of ε r of 9.08 (20 °C) and is rather poorly soluble in water (13 g/L or 9.8 mL/L at 20 °C); at the same time, tetrahydrofuran has its ε r = 7.52 at 22 °C, but it is completely miscible with water

  9. Ohm's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm's_law

    As seen in the figure, the current does not increase linearly with applied voltage for a diode. One can determine a value of current (I) for a given value of applied voltage (V) from the curve, but not from Ohm's law, since the value of "resistance" is not constant as a function of applied voltage. Further, the current only increases ...
