Mass times velocity.
The force that drives a vehicle.
The lengthening of a light pulse as it travles along an optical fibre, due to rays that repeatedly undergo total internal reflection having to travel a longer distance than rays that undergo less tota

Negative temperature coefficient
The resistance of a semiconductor decreases when its temperature is increased.
Uncharged lepton with a very low rest mass compared with the electron.
