  2. Formula for change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_for_change

    The formula for change, or the change formula' provides a model to assess the relative strengths affecting the likely success of organisational change programs.The formula was created by David Gleicher while he was working at management consultants Arthur D. Little in the early 1960s, refined by Kathie Dannemiller in the 1980s, and further developed by Steve Cady.

  3. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    This form of the ideal gas law is very useful because it links pressure, density, and temperature in a unique formula independent of the quantity of the considered gas. Alternatively, the law may be written in terms of the specific volume v, the reciprocal of density, as. It is common, especially in engineering and meteorological applications ...

  4. Relative change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_change

    Relative change. In any quantitative science, the terms relative change and relative difference are used to compare two quantities while taking into account the "sizes" of the things being compared, i.e. dividing by a standard or reference or starting value. [1] The comparison is expressed as a ratio and is a unitless number.

  5. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    v. t. 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 ...

  6. Enthalpy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

    e. In thermodynamics, enthalpy / ˈɛnθəlpi / ⓘ, is the sum of a thermodynamic system 's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. [1] It is a state function used in many measurements in chemical, biological, and physical systems at a constant external pressure, which is conveniently provided by the large ambient atmosphere.

  7. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time at an ever-increasing rate. It occurs when the instantaneous rate of change (that is, the derivative) of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself. Described as a function, a quantity undergoing exponential growth is an exponential function of time ...

  8. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    The change of motion of an object is proportional to the force impressed; and is made in the direction of the straight line in which the force is impressed. [14] : 114 By "motion", Newton meant the quantity now called momentum , which depends upon the amount of matter contained in a body, the speed at which that body is moving, and the ...

  9. Entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

    Since entropy is a state function, the entropy change of the system for an irreversible path is the same as for a reversible path between the same two states. However, the heat transferred to or from, and the entropy change of, the surroundings is different. We can only obtain the change of entropy by integrating the above formula.
