  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.

  5. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    The concepts invoked in Newton's laws of motion — mass, velocity, momentum, force — have predecessors in earlier work, and the content of Newtonian physics was further developed after Newton's time. Newton combined knowledge of celestial motions with the study of events on Earth and showed that one theory of mechanics could encompass both.

  6. Musical note - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_note

    Because of that, all notes with these kinds of relations can be grouped under the same pitch class and are often given the same name. The top note of a musical scale is the bottom note's second harmonic and has double the bottom note's frequency. Because both notes belong to the same pitch class, they are often called by the same name.

  8. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is the natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

    legitimate use to which a class textbook may be put is to meet the problem of children’s lack of background knowledge. Good as the textbook is to teaching and learning, based on the roles explained. A case is therefore made for one or more textbooks in teaching physics, provided they are valuable adjunct (Lump & Beck, 1996).
