kinetic force
1Kinetic bombardment — Kinetic strike redirects here. For the political euphemism, see kinetic military action. For the generic concept of attacking a planetary surface from orbit, see Orbital bombardment. A kinetic bombardment is the act of attacking a planetary… …
2Kinetic inductance — is the manifestation of the inertial mass of mobile charge carriers in alternating electric fields as an equivalent series inductance. Kinetic inductance is observed in high carrier mobility conductors (e.g. superconductors), and at high… …
3Kinetic photography — (kinetic meaning “caused by motion” [ [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kinetic Dictionary.com definition of kinetic] ] ) is an experimental photographic technique in which the photographer uses movement resulting from physics to create an… …
4Force spectroscopy — is a dynamic analytical technique that allows the study of the mechanical properties of single polymer molecules or proteins, or individual chemical bonds. It is performed by pulling on the system under scrutiny with controlled forces. As a… …
5Force-based algorithms — Force based or force directed algorithms are a class of algorithms for drawing graphs in an aesthetically pleasing way. Their purpose is to position the nodes of a graph in two dimensional or three dimensional space so that all the edges are of… …
6kinetic kill vehicle — kinetic kill vehicle, a weapon designed to destroy a nuclear warhead by force of impact: »This system would not employ directed energy weapons at the outset; instead it would rely on kinetic kill vehicles (Scientific American) …
7Kinetic theory — [ temperature of an ideal monatomic gas is a measure related to the average kinetic energy of its atoms as they move. In this animation, the size of helium atoms relative to their spacing is shown to scale under 1950 atmospheres of pressure.… …
8Force — For other uses, see Force (disambiguation). See also: Forcing (disambiguation) Forces are also described as a push or pull on an object. They can be due to phenomena such as gravity, magnetism, or anything that might cause a mass to accelerate …
9Kinetic isotope effect — The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is the ratio of reaction rates of two different isotopically labeled molecules in a chemical reaction. It is also called isotope fractionation, although this term is somewhat broader in meaning. A KIE involving… …
10Kinetic energy — The kinetic energy of an object is the extra energy which it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its current velocity . Having gained this energy during its acceleration …
