What is a conserved quantity in an explosion? What is damping and what factors does it depend on? What is len's maker equation? What is displacement? What do you understand by displacement equation? What is the equation: x = x_0+v_{0t}+\frac{1}{2}at^2 used for (physics)?
How is energy converted from potential to kinetic (and vice versa) when objects move inup/down, back/forth harmonic motion?How is energy conserved? What does this really mean?How does friction belong in any conversations about energy?How do power, work, time, applied force relate to...
nb: Possible by adding energy in a heat pump that does work using another energy, but that’s another story. Earth’s Radiative Energy Balance – Summary Nb: Values are derived from diagrams. Imbalance is temporary & unimportant within overall scale and balance, which the system must converge...
Tags Mean Momentum In summary, p = mv is a mathematical representation of momentum, which is a conserved quantity in physics. While other operations, such as division, could be used to define momentum, it has been found to be a useful and fundamental concept in understanding the behavior of...
I do not mean book learning, but learning by living it. The first thing I remember learning was that I could change habits. Fortunately it was a simple habit. I noticed that as I walked through the building I worked in I left the doors open. I believe I had read somewhere that the ...
we found that this tail swinging conserved angular momentum and thus mechanical energy; making locomotion effectively cheaper, analogous to how humans swing their arms when moving. This motion emerged just from the physics of motion (i.e., the “multi-body dynamics”); not being intrinsically lin...
That's what this famous WMAP image shows us: how much hotter or cooler each individual place in the sky is from its "average" temperature of 2.725 Kelvin. Now that you know what causes it and where it comes from, we can ask the big questions: what does this sky map mean, and what...
The Universe does form elements during the hot Big Bang, but only a very select few. There’s a reason for this that Gamow never anticipated, and that most of us may not have thought of at first glance, either. You see, in order to make elements, you need enough energy to fuse ...
What does it mean to be “like something”?SelfAwarePatterns Mind and AI May 19, 2022 6 Minutes When it comes to my philosophy of consciousness, I’ve noted many times that I’m a functionalist, someone who sees mental states, including conscious ones, as being more about what they do,...
Intensity in Physics | Definition & Formula from Chapter 5 / Lesson 10 39K This lesson explains what wave intensity in physics is, and it explains the intensity of light formula with examples. This lesson also describes how to calculate intensity of sound waves. Related...
