    G {\displaystyle G} electrical conductance. siemens (S) universal gravitational constant. newton meter squared per kilogram squared (N⋅m 2 /kg 2 ) shear modulus. pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2 ) g {\displaystyle \mathbf {g} } acceleration due to gravity.

  3. Newton-second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton-second

    The newton-second (also newton second; symbol: Ns or N s) [1] is the unit of impulse in the International System of Units (SI). It is dimensionally equivalent to the momentum unit kilogram-metre per second ( kg⋅m/s ). One newton-second corresponds to a one- newton force applied for one second. It can be used to identify the resultant ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_equations

    The Navier–Stokes equations (/ n æ v ˈ j eɪ s t oʊ k s / nav-YAY STOHKS) are partial differential equations which describe the motion of viscous fluid substances. They were named after French engineer and physicist Claude-Louis Navier and the Irish physicist and mathematician George Gabriel Stokes. They were developed over several decades ...

  5. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    e. In classical mechanics, impulse (symbolized by J or Imp) is the change in momentum of an object. If the initial momentum of an object is p1, and a subsequent momentum is p2, the object has received an impulse J : Momentum is a vector quantity, so impulse is also a vector quantity. Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of ...

    hnology (PhET) computer simulations relevant to concepts in Sciences and Mathematics. There is a notable gap in the literature of simul. tion-based technologies, learning theories, and Physics pedagogy in higher education. This action research study addresses that gap by exploring the role of the intentional inclusion of PhET.

  7. An Overview of Problem Solving Studies in Physics Education

    files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1179603.pdf

    These methods, created using common properties, also lead to success in problem solving. Some of these problem-solving methods are divergent thinking, convergent thinking, brainstorming, lateral thinking, expanding or narrowing thinking, associating, comparing, combining, and utilizing objects and concepts. The basic steps of problem-solving ...

    s, equations, diagrams, maps. Physics requires the ability to use algebra and geometry and to go from the spe. ific to the general and back. This makes learning physics particularly diffic. lt for many students (p.801). The views of faculty members, teaching assistants, and students about learning and understanding physics are in gen.

  9. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navier–Stokes_existence...

    In mathematics, the Navier–Stokes equations are a system of nonlinear partial differential equations for abstract vector fields of any size. In physics and engineering, they are a system of equations that model the motion of liquids or non-rarefied gases (in which the mean free path is short enough so that it can be thought of as a continuum mean instead of a collection of particles) using ...
