Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that studies the effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume on physical systems at the macroscopic scale by analyzing the collective motion of their ... > more -
Potential energy
Potential energy is stored energy. Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system. This form of energy has the ... > more -
Schrodinger's cat
Schrödinger's cat is a seemingly paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of an early interpretation of quantum mechanics ... > more -
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is energy that a body possess as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy as it is mathematically written is the "classic statement" of: Kinetic energy is equal to half the mass of an ... > more -
Electrical conduction
Electrical conduction is the movement of electrically charged particles through a transmission medium. The movement can form an electric current in response to an electric field. The underlying ... > more -
Time in physics
In physics, the treatment of time is a central issue. In physics, the treatment of time is a central issue. It has been treated as a question of geometry. One can measure time and treat it as a ... > more -
Nuclear reaction
In nuclear physics, a nuclear reaction is a process in which two nuclei or nuclear particles collide, to produce different products than the initial particles. In principle a reaction can involve ... > more -
Radioactive decay
Radioactive decay is the set of various processes by which unstable atomic nuclei (nuclides) emit subatomic particles (radiation). Decay is said to occur in the parent nucleus and produces a daughter ... > more -
Turbulence
In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized by chaotic, stochastic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid ... > more -
Nuclear fusion
In physics, nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus. It is accompanied by the release or absorption of energy depending on the masses of the ... > more -
Special relativity
Special relativity inter-relates space and time in such a way that the speed of light is constant, and the theory leads to situations where two observers can disagree over time intervals and ... > more
