  2. 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 ...

    The third of James Clerk Maxwell's papers concerned with electromagnetism. The concept of displacement current was introduced, so that it became possible to derive equations of electromagnetic wave. It was the first paper in which Maxwell's equations appeared. Hall, E.H. (1879). "On a New Action of the Magnet on Electric Currents".

  4. List of scientific publications by Albert Einstein - Wikipedia

    Einstein's scientific publications are listed below in four tables: journal articles, book chapters, books and authorized translations. Each publication is indexed in the first column by its number in the Schilpp bibliography (Albert Einstein: Philosopher–Scientist, pp. 694–730) and by its article number in Einstein's Collected Papers.

  5. Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  6. In the curriculum, physical science is one of the core subjects offered across all tracks in Grade 11 and Grade 12, which requires 80 h/semester. The course deals with the evolution of one’s understanding of matter, motion, electricity, magnetism, light, and the universe from ancient times to the present.

    To solve the first experimental task (1.1 from the above section) the students should connect the wire length to the wavelength. When the wire length ( L ) is equal to an integer number ( k ) of half wavelengths ( λ / 2 ) a standing wave occurs. L = k λ / 2 , (3) which wavelength can be expressed from equation 3 as. λ= 2 L / k .

    students’ ability to read and understand the contents. However, senior secondary school physics textbooks (69%) was found to be most readable, seconded by ordinary level physics (64%), followed by principle of physics while science teacher association of Nigeria (STAN) physics (15%) was found to be least readable by the students.

  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 ...
