linear accelerator linac | ions are accelerated along a linear path by voltage differences on electrodes along the path |
microwave linear accelerator | linear accelerator that uses microwaves |
perspective linear perspective | the appearance of things relative to one another as determined by their distance from the viewer |
momentum | the product of a body's mass and its velocity, the momentum of the particles was deduced from meteoritic velocities |
angular momentum | the product of the momentum of a rotating body and its distance from the axis of rotation, any rotating body has an angular momentum about its center of mass, angular momentum makes the world go round |
momentum impulse | an impelling force or strength, the car's momentum carried it off the road |
linear algebra | the part of algebra that deals with the theory of linear equations and linear transformation |
linear programming | a mathematical technique used in economics, finds the maximum or minimum of linear functions in many variables subject to constraints |
linear regression rectilinear regression | the relation between variables when the regression equation is linear: e.g., y axb |
conservation | (physics) the maintenance of a certain quantities unchanged during chemical reactions or physical transformations |
conservation of charge conservation of electricity | the principle that the total electric charge of a system remains constant despite changes inside the system |
conservation of energy law of conservation of energy first law of thermodynamics | the fundamental principle of physics that the total energy of an isolated system is constant despite internal changes |
conservation of mass conservation of matter law of conservation of mass law of conservation of matter | a fundamental principle of classical physics that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system |
conservation of momentum | the principle that the total linear momentum in a closed system is constant and is not affected by processes occurring inside the system |
parity conservation of parity spaceeflection symmetry mirror symmetry | (physics) parity is conserved in a universe in which the laws of physics are the same in a right-handed system of coordinates as in a left-handed system |
