    Cartesian y-axis basis unit vector unitless kinetic energy: joule (J) wave vector: radian per meter (m −1) Boltzmann constant: joule per kelvin (J/K) wavenumber: radian per meter (m −1) stiffness: newton per meter (N⋅m −1) ^ Cartesian z-axis basis unit vector

  3. Fine-structure constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

    A nondimensionalised system commonly used in high energy physics sets ε 0 = c = ħ = 1, where the expression for the fine-structure constant becomes [10] =. As such, the fine-structure constant is chiefly a quantity determining (or determined by) the elementary charge : e = √ 4 πα ≈ 0.302 822 12 in terms of such a natural unit of charge.

    Thus, they are essentially equations of state, and using the fundamental equations, experimental data can be used to determine sought-after quantities like G (Gibbs free energy) or H . [1] The relation is generally expressed as a microscopic change in internal energy in terms of microscopic changes in entropy , and volume for a closed system in ...

    For example, an electron and a positron, each with a mass of 0.511 MeV/c 2, can annihilate to yield 1.022 MeV of energy. A proton has a mass of 0.938 GeV/ c 2 . In general, the masses of all hadrons are of the order of 1 GeV/ c 2 , which makes the GeV/ c 2 a convenient unit of mass for particle physics: [ 4 ]

  7. Equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state

    In physics and chemistry, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation relating state variables, which describe the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions, such as pressure, volume, temperature, or internal energy. [1] [2] Most modern equations of state are formulated in the Helmholtz free energy.

  8. Enthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthesis

    The enthesis (plural entheses) is the connective tissue which attaches tendons or ligaments to a bone. [1] There are two types of entheses: fibrous entheses and fibrocartilaginous entheses. [2] [3] In a fibrous enthesis, the collagenous tendon or ligament directly attaches to the bone.

  9. Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_equation

    The collisionless Boltzmann equation, where individual collisions are replaced with long-range aggregated interactions, e.g. Coulomb interactions, is often called the Vlasov equation. This equation is more useful than the principal one above, yet still incomplete, since f cannot be solved unless the collision term in f is known.
