  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. Physical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    Physical property. A physical property is any property that is measurable, involved in the physical system, intensity on the object's state and behavior. [1] The changes in the physical properties of a system can be used to describe its changes between momentary states. A quantifiable physical property is called physical quantity.

  4. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    In this definition, there is a critical pressure and an associated critical density, and when nuclear matter (made of protons and neutrons) is compressed beyond this density, the protons and neutrons dissociate into quarks, yielding quark matter (probably strange matter). The narrower meaning is quark matter that is more stable than nuclear matter.

  5. Natural density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_density

    Natural density. In number theory, natural density, also referred to as asymptotic density or arithmetic density, is one method to measure how "large" a subset of the set of natural numbers is. It relies chiefly on the probability of encountering members of the desired subset when combing through the interval [1, n] as n grows large.

  6. Scientific law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_law

    Scientific law. Scientific laws or laws of science are statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena. [1] The term law has diverse usage in many cases (approximate, accurate, broad, or narrow) across all fields of natural science ( physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience ...

  7. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    Relative density, also called specific gravity, is a dimensionless quantity defined as the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest (at 4 °C or 39.2 °F); for gases, the reference is air ...

  8. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    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 ...

  9. Gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas

    For a static gas, the density is the same throughout the entire container. Density is therefore a scalar quantity. It can be shown by kinetic theory that the density is inversely proportional to the size of the container in which a fixed mass of gas is confined. In this case of a fixed mass, the density decreases as the volume increases.
