  2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Conversely the period of the repeating decimal of a fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ will be (at most) the smallest number n such that 10 n − 1 is divisible by d. For example, the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ has d = 7, and the smallest k that makes 10 k − 1 divisible by 7 is k = 6, because 999999 = 7 × 142857. The period of the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ is ...

  3. Acetonitrile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetonitrile

    Acetonitrile, often abbreviated MeCN (methyl cyanide), is the chemical compound with the formula CH 3 CN and structure H 3 C−C≡N.This colourless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic).

  4. Central processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit

    Nearly all modern CPUs represent numbers in binary form, with each digit being represented by some two-valued physical quantity such as a "high" or "low" voltage. [g] A six-bit word containing the binary encoded representation of decimal value 40. Most modern CPUs employ word sizes that are a power of two, for example 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits.

  5. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

  6. Actinide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinide

    The actinide (/ ˈ æ k t ɪ n aɪ d /) or actinoid (/ ˈ æ k t ɪ n ɔɪ d /) series encompasses at least the 14 metallic chemical elements in the 5f series, with atomic numbers from 89 to 102, actinium through nobelium.

  7. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    A variety of other rocket propulsion methods, such as ion thrusters, give much higher specific impulse but with much lower thrust; for example the Hall-effect thruster on the SMART-1 satellite has a specific impulse of 1,640 s (16.1 km/s) but a maximum thrust of only 68 mN (0.015 lbf). [45]

    Their main argument is illustrated by CO 2 per capita emissions in 2023, China's levels (9.24) are almost two thirds those of the United States (13.83) and less than a sixth of those of Palau (62.59 – the country with the highest emissions of CO 2 per capita).

  9. Photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis

    In its simplest form, this involves the membrane surrounding the cell itself. [22] However, the membrane may be tightly folded into cylindrical sheets called thylakoids , [ 23 ] or bunched up into round vesicles called intracytoplasmic membranes . [ 24 ]
