physical property

1. Any property used to characterize matter and energy and their interactions (synset 105016354)
   is a type of: property - a basic or essential attribute shared by all members of a class
   subtypes:

   • absorption factor, absorptivity - (physics) the property of a body that determines the fraction of the incident radiation or sound flux absorbed or absorbable by the body
   • dissolubility, solubleness - the property of being dissoluble
   • drippiness - the physical property of being soft and drippy
   • reflection, reflectivity, reflexion - the ability to reflect beams or rays
   • bending, deflection, deflexion - the property of being bent or deflected
   • temperature - the degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment (corresponding to its molecular activity)
   • enthalpy, h, heat content, total heat - (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity equal to the internal energy of a system plus the product of its volume and pressure
   • entropy, randomness, s - (thermodynamics) a thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing mechanical work
   • perceptibility - the property of being perceptible by the mind or the senses
   • invisibility, invisibleness - the quality of not being perceivable by the eye
   • brightness, brightness level, light, luminance, luminosity, luminousness - the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light
   • inaudibility, inaudibleness - the quality of not being perceptible by the ear
   • imperceptibility - the property of being imperceptible by the mind or the senses
   • reluctivity - (physics) the resistance of a material to the establishment of a magnetic field in it
   • sensitiveness, sensitivity - the ability to respond to physical stimuli or to register small physical amounts or differences
   • magnetisation, magnetization - the physical property of being magnetic
   • elasticity, snap - the tendency of a body to return to its original shape after it has been stretched or compressed
   • malleability, plasticity - the property of being physically malleable; the property of something that can be worked or hammered or shaped without breaking
   • inelasticity - the lack of elasticity
   • unmalleability - a lack of malleability
   • mass - the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field
   • weight - the vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity
   • momentum - the product of a body's mass and its velocity
   • fugacity - the tendency of a gas to expand or escape
   • length - the linear extent in space from one end to the other; the longest dimension of something that is fixed in place
