  2. End correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_correction

    An acoustic pipe, such as an organ pipe, marimba, or flute resonates at a specific pitch or frequency. Longer pipes resonate at lower frequencies, producing lower-pitched sounds. The details of acoustic resonance are taught in many elementary physics classes. In an ideal tube, the wavelength of the sound produced is directly proportional to the ...

  3. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

    The parts of triple beam balance are identified as the following. [3]Weighing pan - The area in which an object is placed in order to be weighed.; Base - The base rests underneath the weighing pan and can usually be customized to fit on a workbench or set up with tripod legs.

  4. Perturbation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perturbation_theory

    Perturbation theory has been used in a large number of different settings in physics and applied mathematics. Examples of the "collection of equations" D {\displaystyle D} include algebraic equations , [ 6 ] differential equations (e.g., the equations of motion [ 7 ] and commonly wave equations ), thermodynamic free energy in statistical ...

  5. Quantum error correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_error_correction

    That these codes allow indeed for quantum computations of arbitrary length is the content of the quantum threshold theorem, found by Michael Ben-Or and Dorit Aharonov, which asserts that you can correct for all errors if you concatenate quantum codes such as the CSS codes—i.e. re-encode each logical qubit by the same code again, and so on, on ...

  6. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth’s gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth’s gravitational field of strength g.

  7. Semi-empirical mass formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-empirical_mass_formula

    In nuclear physics, the semi-empirical mass formula (SEMF) (sometimes also called the Weizsäcker formula, Bethe–Weizsäcker formula, or Bethe–Weizsäcker mass formula to distinguish it from the Bethe–Weizsäcker process) is used to approximate the mass of an atomic nucleus from its number of protons and neutrons.

  8. Monte Carlo method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method

    Monte Carlo methods are widely used in various fields of science, engineering, and mathematics, such as physics, chemistry, biology, statistics, artificial intelligence, finance, and cryptography. They have also been applied to social sciences, such as sociology, psychology, and political science.

  9. Gravitational acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_acceleration

    In physics, gravitational acceleration is the acceleration of an object in free fall within a vacuum (and thus without experiencing drag). This is the steady gain in speed caused exclusively by gravitational attraction.
