mass properties
31Thermal mass — Thermal mass, in the most general sense, is any material that has the capacity to store heat. The following discussion pertains to its functional application in ecologically sustainable building construction. When used correctly, it can… …
32Intensive and extensive properties — In the physical sciences, an intensive property (also called a bulk property), is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. (see: examples) By contrast, an extensive property… …
33Molar mass — Formula mass redirects here. It is not to be confused with Mass formula. Molar mass, symbol M,[1] is a physical property of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound), namely its mass per amount of substance.[2] The base SI unit… …
34Negative mass — In theoretical physics, negative mass is a hypothetical concept of matter whose mass is of opposite sign to the mass of the normal matter. Such matter would violate one or more energy conditions and show some strange properties such as being… …
35Orders of magnitude (mass) — Iron weights up to 50 kilograms depicted in Dictionnaire encyclopédique de l épicerie et des industries annexes. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following list describes various mass levels between 10−36 kg and 1060 kg …
36Absolute molar mass — is a process to determine the characteristics of molecules. TOC History The first absolute measurements (i.e. made without reference to standards) were based on fundamental physical characteristics and their relation to the molar mass. The most… …
37air mass — a body of air covering a relatively wide area, exhibiting approximately uniform properties through any horizontal section. [1890 95] * * * In meteorology, a large body of air having nearly uniform conditions of temperature and humidity at any… …
38Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry — (GC MS) is a method that combines the features of gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample. Applications of GC MS include drug detection, fire investigation, environmental analysis,… …
39Coronal mass ejection — A coronal mass ejection in time lapse imagery obtained with the LASCO instrument. The Sun (center) is obscured by the coronagraph s mask. (September 30 – October 1, 2001) A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a massive burst of solar wind, other light …
40Specific properties — ve properties] ) of that substance. For example, the density of steel (a specific and intrinsic property) can be derived from measurements of the mass of a steel bar (an extrinsic property) divided by the volume of the bar (another extrinsic… …
