#coefficient a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic
supertype: constant a number representing a quantity assumed to have a fixed value in a specified mathematical context; "the velocity of light is a constant"
subtype: absorption_coefficient__coefficient_of_absorption__absorptance a measure of the rate of decrease in the intensity of electromagnetic radiation (as light) as it passes through a given substance; the fraction of incident radiant energy absorbed per unit mass or thickness of an absorber: "absorptance equals 1 minus transmittance"
subtype: drag_coefficient__coefficient_of_drag the ratio of the drag on a body moving through air to the product of the velocity and the surface area of the body
subtype: coefficient_of_friction the ratio of the weight of an object being moved along a surface and the force that maintains contact between the object and the surface
subtype: coefficient_of_mutual_induction__mutual_inductance a measure of the induction between two circuits; the ratio of the electromotive force in a circuit to the corresponding change of current in a neighboring circuit; usually measured in henries
subtype: coefficient_of_self_induction__self-inductance the ratio of the electromotive force produced in a circuit by self-induction to the rate of change of current producing it, expressed in henries
subtype: modulus__modulu (physics) a coefficient that expresses how much of a specified property is possessed by a specified substance
subtype: coefficient_of_elasticity__modulus_of_elasticity__elastic_modulus__elasticmodulu (physics) the ratio of the applied stress to the change in shape of an elastic body
subtype: bulk_modulus the ratio of the change in pressure acting on a volume to the fractional change in volume
subtype: modulus_of_rigidity the coefficient of elasticity for a shearing force
subtype: Young's_modulus__young'smodulu a coefficient of elasticity applicable to the stretching of a wire
subtype: coefficient_of_expansion__expansivity the fractional change in length or area or volume per unit change in temperature at a given constant pressure
subtype: coefficient_of_reflection__reflection_factor__reflectance__reflectivity the fraction of radiant energy that is reflected from a surface
subtype: transmittance__transmission the fraction of radiant energy that passes through a substance
subtype: coefficient_of_viscosity__absolute_viscosity__dynamic_viscosity__dynamicviscosity a measure of the resistance to flow of a fluid under an applied force
subtype: weighting__weight (statistics) a coefficient assigned to elements of a frequency distribution in order to represent their relative importance
