  2. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    Momentum depends on the frame of reference, but in any inertial frame of reference, it is a conserved quantity, meaning that if a closed system is not affected by external forces, its total momentum does not change.

  3. The Big Mo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Mo

    The momentum effect raises a further important issue. If markets are rational, as the efficient-market hypothesis assumed, then they will allocate capital to its most productive uses. But the momentum effect suggests that an irrationality might be at work; investors could be buying shares (and commodities) just because they have risen in price.

  4. Demonstrations in Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonstrations_in_Physics

    Demonstrations in Physics was an educational science series produced in Australia by ABC Television in 1969 [citation needed]. The series was hosted by American scientist Julius Sumner Miller , who demonstrated experiments involving various disciplines in the world of physics .

  5. Newton's cradle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_cradle

    When the fifth ball begins accelerating, it is receiving momentum and energy from the third and fourth balls through the spring action of their compressed surfaces. For identical elastic balls of any type with initially touching balls, the action is the same for the first strike, except the time to complete a collision increases in softer ...

  6. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    When Newton's laws are applied to rotating extended bodies, they lead to new quantities that are analogous to those invoked in the original laws. The analogue of mass is the moment of inertia, the counterpart of momentum is angular momentum, and the counterpart of force is torque. Angular momentum is calculated with respect to a reference point ...

  7. Moment (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The moment of force, or torque, is a first moment: =, or, more generally, .; Similarly, angular momentum is the 1st moment of momentum: =.Momentum itself is not a moment.; The electric dipole moment is also a 1st moment: = for two opposite point charges or () for a distributed charge with charge density ().

  8. The opportunity to stitch together a big audience – both live and long tail — with “SNL50” was significant because the show already has such a huge footprint across key social platforms ...

  9. Scientific demonstration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_demonstration

    A scientific demonstration is a procedure carried out for the purposes of demonstrating scientific principles, rather than for hypothesis testing or knowledge gathering (although they may originally have been carried out for these purposes).
