  2. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density ( volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho ), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: [1] where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume ...

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    v. t. e. Archimedes' principle (also spelled Archimedes's principle) states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. [1] Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics.

  4. Bone density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_density

    A scanner used to measure bone density using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Bone density, or bone mineral density, is the amount of bone mineral in bone tissue.The concept is of mass of mineral per volume of bone (relating to density in the physics sense), although clinically it is measured by proxy according to optical density per square centimetre of bone surface upon imaging.

  5. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    The area density (also known as areal density, surface density, superficial density, areic density, mass thickness, column density, or density thickness) of a two-dimensional object is calculated as the mass per unit area. The SI derived unit is the kilogram per square metre (kg·m −2 ). A related area number density can be defined by ...

  6. Magnetic flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux

    Magnetic flux. In physics, specifically electromagnetism, the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface. It is usually denoted Φ or ΦB. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb; in derived units, volt–seconds), and the CGS unit is the maxwell.

  7. BBC Bitesize - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Bitesize

    URL. bbc .co .uk /bitesize. Launched. 1998. Current status. Active. BBC Bitesize, [1] also abbreviated to Bitesize, is the BBC 's free online study support resource for school-age pupils in the United Kingdom. It is designed to aid pupils in both schoolwork and, for older pupils, exams. [2]

  8. Proton-exchange membrane fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton-exchange_membrane...

    The power density of the FeAc/Phen/ZIF-8-catalyst was found to be 0.75 W cm −2 at 0.6 V. This value is a significant improvement over the maximal 0.37 W cm −2 power density of previous M/N/C-catalysts and is much closer to matching the typical value of 1.0–1.2 W cm −2 for Pt-based catalysts with a Pt loading of 0.3 mg cm −2.

  9. Capillary action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action

    Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH). Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space in opposition to or at least without the assistance of any external forces like gravity.
