What is a word in physics or in mathematics for the concept of unchanging?
Constant.
What is the probability of getting a constant letter from the word mathematics?
The probability is 1. The letters in the word mathematics are all constants, not variables!
How do you mathematically measure the speed of light?
The question is erroneous because you cannot measure anything with mathematics. Mathematics is not an empirical science, it makes no measurements. You can derive the speed of light mathematically from other constants such as various constant having to do with electromagnetism but these constant will have to be measured separately (and not through mathematics).
Is acceleration constant?
Acceleration may be constant or variable. Of course, in many high-school level problems, it is assumed to be constant, because in that case, the mathematics is simpler.
What does ln mean in mathematics?
Natural Log; It's a logarithm with a base of e, a natural constant.
What role does pi play in mathematics?
it gives the ratio of perimeter to that of diameter of a circle which is universal constant.
What is the purpose of the reduced Planck constant?
The reduced Planck constant simplifies the mathematics found in quantum physics calculations by adding a 2pi term into it. Instead of worrying about that 2pi constant, formulas using the reduced Plank constant have it built in.
What is a proportional ratio?
In mathematics, two quantities are proportional if they vary in such a way that one of them is a constant multiple of the other.
Can an object have zero velocity and nonzero acceleration?
Yes. An object moving at constant velocity has zero acceleration. The constant velocity van be any constant including zero velocity. Mathematics acceleration a=dv/dt = 0. Solving this gives v = constant.
What is the correlation between mathematics and you?
Since I am a constant, not a variable, there can be no correlation. The calculation would entail division by zero, which is not permitted.
A word for a constant rate of change?
In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.
What is relation between mathematics and geography?
Linear Analysis is a technique used in statistics to determine the constant relationship between two variables.
