Velocity and final displacement are both positive, which means they are in the same direction. The equation x=x0+¯vtx=x0+v¯t gives insight into the relationship between displacement, average velocity, and time. It shows, for example, that displacement is a linear function ...
Joseph Maciejko at Stanford University in California and his team propose measuring α by observing the quantized magnetoelectric effect (QME) — a predicted phenomenon in which an electric field induces magnetization in discrete quantum steps. The proposed experiment would use a layer of a topological...

measuring the polarization of light reflected off the surface of the topological insulator, and comparing this with the measurement of the polarization of light transmitted through the layers, will reveal a measurement of the QME — and henceα— in a way that is independent of the materials' ...

The equation $$ \overset{\text{–}}{v}=\frac{{v}_{0}+v}{2} $$ reflects the fact that when acceleration is constant,vis just the simple average of the initial and final velocities.(Figure)illustrates this concept graphically. In part (a) of the figure, acceleration is constant, with...

In the year 1905, Albert Einstein published the theory of special relativity, suggesting that nothing could move faster than the speed of light. What if any mortal could break that constant? Stretch it beyond its limits? Would human beings finally be abl
As is well known, primordial or Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is a fine laboratory to test our understanding of the fundamental physics describing the generation of the light elements. In particular, it sets bounds on the possible variation of the parameters of the Standard Model of particle ph...
