General physics
Bohr atomic model
Physics; General physics
A model for the atom developed in 1913 by Niels Bohr. According to this model, the electrons orbiting a nucleus can only orbit at certain particular radii. Excited electrons may jump to a more ...
Coefficient of static friction
Physics; General physics
The coefficient of static friction, μ s for two materials is the constant of proportionality between the normal force and the maximum force of static friction. It is always a number between zero ...
Coefficient of kinetic friction
Physics; General physics
The coefficient of kinetic friction, μ k , for two materials is the constant of proportionality between the normal force and the force of kinetic friction. It is always a number between zero and ...
Centripetal acceleration
Physics; General physics
The acceleration of a body experiencing uniform circular motion. This acceleration is always directed toward the centre of the circle.
Centre of curvature
Physics; General physics
With spherical mirrors, the centre of the sphere of which the mirror is a part. All of the normals pass through it.
Celsius
Physics; General physics
A scale for measuring temperature, defined such that water freezes at 0ºC and boils at 100ºC. 0ºC = 273 K.
Charles’s Law
Physics; General physics
For a gas held at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional.
