  2. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    The friction coefficient is an empirical (experimentally measured) structural property that depends only on various aspects of the contacting materials, such as surface roughness. The coefficient of friction is not a function of mass or volume. For instance, a large aluminum block has the same coefficient of friction as a small aluminum block.

  5. Crossword abbreviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossword_abbreviations

    The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE.

    u is the flow velocity (in m/s), and ω is the vorticity (in s −1 ), defined as ω = ∇ × u . {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\omega }}=\nabla \times \mathbf {u} .} By using some vector calculus identities , these equations can be shown to result in Laplace's equations for the pressure and each of the components of the vorticity vector: [ 8 ]
