die Gleichung = equation, a fundamental term in scientific calculations.
die Gleichung – the equation
die Variable – the variable
die Konstante – the constant
die Lösung – the solution
die Formel – the formula
die Einheit – the unit
die Messung – the measurement
der Koeffizient – the coefficient
die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit – the reaction rate
die Genauigkeit – the accuracy
die Präzision – the precision
der Fehler – the error
die Einheit = unit, a key concept for measurements in scientific calculations.
die Genauigkeit (accuracy) and die Präzision (precision) are important for quality of results.
der Koeffizient means 'coefficient', a factor in equations or formulas.
Variables, constants, and coefficients are all parts of equations: die Variable, die Konstante, der Koeffizient.
Key Formulas
| German | English | Formula/Example |
|---|---|---|
| Energie | Energy | \(E = mc^2\) (Energie = Masse × Lichtgeschwindigkeit²) |
| Geschwindigkeit | Velocity/Speed | \(v = \frac{d}{t}\) (Weg/ Zeit) |
| Beschleunigung | Acceleration | \(a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\) |
| Kraft | Force | \(F = ma\) (Masse × Beschleunigung) |
| Druck | Pressure | \(p = \frac{F}{A}\) (Kraft/Fläche) |
| Stromstärke | Current | \(I = \frac{Q}{t}\) (Ladung/Zeit) |
'Energie' means energy; a famous formula is E = mc².
Geschwindigkeit (velocity), Beschleunigung (acceleration), Kraft (force) are key formulas.
Druck means pressure.
