  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 Feynman Lectures on Physics. The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.

  6. 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 ...

    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 ...

    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 ...
