  2. PhET Interactive Simulations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhET_Interactive_Simulations

    PhET Interactive Simulations is part of the University of Colorado Boulder which is a member of the Association of American Universities. [10] The team changes over time and has about 16 members consisting of professors, post-doctoral students, researchers, education specialists, software engineers (sometimes contractors), educators, and administrative assistants.

  3. Kaufmann–Bucherer–Neumann experiments - Wikipedia

    Also in this experiment, the data corresponding to Lorentz's formula are nearly on a horizontal line as required, while the data obtained from Abraham's formula sharply deviate (see Fig. 8). Neumann concluded that his experiments were in agreement with those of Bucherer and Hupka, definitely proving the Lorentz–Einstein formula in the range 0 ...

  4. Method of dominant balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_dominant_balance

    [10] [11] A consistent solution that balances two equation terms may generate an accurate approximation to the full equation's solution for values approaching . [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Approximate solutions arising from balancing different terms of an equation may generate distinct approximate solutions e.g. inner and outer layer solutions .

  5. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Two-plane, or dynamic, balancing is necessary if the out-of-balance couple at speed needs to be balanced. The second plane used is in the opposite wheel. Two-plane, or dynamic, balancing of a locomotive wheel set is known as cross-balancing. [11] Cross-balancing was not recommended by the American Railway Association until 1931.

    1) Subdivide the coins in to 2 groups of 4 coins and a third group with the remaining 5 coins. 2) Test 1, Test the 2 groups of 4 coins against each other: a. If the coins balance, the odd coin is in the population of 5 and proceed to test 2a. b. The odd coin is among the population of 8 coins, proceed in the same way as in the 12 coins problem.

  7. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    Let the percentage of the total mass divided between these two particles vary from 100% P 1 and 0% P 2 through 50% P 1 and 50% P 2 to 0% P 1 and 100% P 2, then the center of mass R moves along the line from P 1 to P 2. The percentages of mass at each point can be viewed as projective coordinates of the point R on this line, and are termed ...

  8. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    The balancing of rotating bodies is important to avoid vibration. In heavy industrial machines such as gas turbines and electric generators, vibration can cause catastrophic failure, as well as noise and discomfort. In the case of a narrow wheel, balancing simply involves moving the center of gravity to the centre of rotation

  9. Observer effect (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics)

    In physics, the observer effect is the disturbance of an observed system by the act of observation. [1] [2] This is often the result of utilising instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. A common example is checking the pressure in an automobile tire, which causes some of the air to escape, thereby ...
