  2. Lexical density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_density

    The lexical density is the proportion of content words (lexical items) in a given discourse. It can be measured either as the ratio of lexical items to total number of words, or as the ratio of lexical items to the number of higher structural items in the sentences (for example, clauses).

  3. Linguistic performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_performance

    This density is calculated as a ratio of the total number of clauses across sentences, divide by the number of sentences in a discourse sample. [30] For example, if the clause density is 2.0, the ratio would indicate that the sentence being analyzed has 2 clauses on average: one main clause and one subordinate clause.

  4. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

    Extensive properties. An extensive property is a physical quantity whose value is proportional to the size of the system it describes, [8] or to the quantity of matter in the system. For example, the mass of a sample is an extensive quantity; it depends on the amount of substance. The related intensive quantity is the density which is ...

  5. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    Relative density ( ) or specific gravity ( ) is a dimensionless quantity, as it is the ratio of either densities or weights where is relative density, is the density of the substance being measured, and is the density of the reference. (By convention , the Greek letter rho, denotes density.) The reference material can be indicated using ...

  6. 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.

  7. Convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection

    The density anomaly manifests in its flow pattern. [36] [39] [40] [41] As the water is cooled at the right wall, the density increases, which accelerates the flow downward. As the flow develops and the water cools further, the decrease in density causes a recirculation current at the bottom right corner of the cavity.

  8. Physical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    Physical property. A physical property is any property of a physical system that is measurable. [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. Measurable physical quantities are often referred to as observables.

  9. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    In physics, mass–energy equivalence is the relationship between mass and energy in a system's rest frame, where the two quantities differ only by a multiplicative constant and the units of measurement. [1][2] The principle is described by the physicist Albert Einstein 's formula: . [3] In a reference frame where the system is moving, its ...
