Place with all components of all formulas explained?

AI Thread Summary
Finding a single comprehensive resource that explains every component of all physics formulas is challenging, as notation varies across different scientific fields. While general mathematical terms are standardized, specific subscripts and superscripts often have unique meanings in disciplines like chemistry. Understanding these notations requires studying the respective fields individually. For example, in chemistry, superscripts and subscripts denote various atomic or molecular properties. A thorough grasp of these concepts necessitates delving into the specific subject matter.

Homework Statement


Is there a place where I could find every component of every physics formula explained? I know basic stuff like that a line over a variable means average. But, I have no idea what the various subscripts and superscripts on the formulas mean. Thanks for reading

Not really. You'd have to delve into the details of different fields of science individually. General mathematical terms are standardized as far as I know, but different fields may use different or unique notation for certain things. For example, in chemistry you'll see chemical formulas that use superscripts and subscripts to indicate various properties of an atom/molecule. You'd have to learn chemistry to learn what these mean and when they are used.
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
