  2. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    Thus, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute temperature of an ideal monatomic gas can be calculated easily: per mole: 12.47 J/K; per molecule: 20.7 yJ/K = 129 μeV/K; At standard temperature (273.15 K), the kinetic energy can also be obtained: per mole: 3406 J; per molecule: 5.65 zJ = 35.2 meV.

  3. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    Kinetic energy is the movement energy of an object. Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy. [10] Kinetic energy may be best understood by examples that demonstrate how it is transformed to and from other forms of energy.

  4. Kinetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic

    Kinetic (Ancient Greek: κίνησις “kinesis”, movement or to move) may refer to: Kinetic theory , describing a gas as particles in random motion Kinetic energy , the energy of an object that it possesses due to its motion

  5. Science in science fiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_in_science_fiction

    Science in science fiction is the study or of how science is portrayed in works of science fiction, including novels, stories, and films. It covers a large range of topics. Hard science fiction is based on engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry).

  6. Specific kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_kinetic_energy

    The specific kinetic energy of a system is a crucial parameter in understanding its dynamic behavior and plays a key role in various scientific and engineering applications. Specific kinetic energy is an intensive property, whereas kinetic energy and mass are extensive properties. The SI unit for specific kinetic energy is the joule per ...

  7. Chemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_kinetics

    Chemical kinetics, also known as reaction kinetics, is the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is different from chemical thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a reaction occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rate.

  8. Coupling (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(physics)

    The coupling constant of a plasma is given by the ratio of its average Coulomb-interaction energy to its average kinetic energy—or how strongly the electric force of each atom holds the plasma together. [4] Plasmas can therefore be categorized into weakly- and strongly-coupled plasmas depending upon the value of this ratio.

  9. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics_(physics)

    These "kinetic plasmas" cannot be adequately described with fluid equations. The term kinetics is also used to refer to chemical kinetics , particularly in chemical physics and physical chemistry .
