Parent topics

  • Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. [e]
  • Engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. [e]

Other related topics

  • Factor-label conversion of units [r]: A widely used method for converting one set of dimensional units to another set of equivalent units. [e]
  • Foot (unit) [r]: A non-SI unit of length, equal to 0.3048 metre, and equivalent to 12 inches. [e]
  • Inch [r]: A non-SI unit of length, equal to 2.54 centimeters, and equivalent to 1/12th of a foot. [e]
