  2. Analysis paralysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis

    Analysis paralysis is a critical problem in athletics. It can be explained in simple terms as "failure to react in response to overthought". A victim of sporting analysis paralysis will frequently think in complicated terms of "what to do next" while contemplating the variety of possibilities, and in doing so exhausts the available time in which to act.

  3. Mass in general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_in_general_relativity

    The norm of this 4-parameter energy–momentum is the ADM mass. The Bondi mass was introduced (Bondi, 1962) in a paper that studied the loss of mass of physical systems via gravitational radiation. The Bondi mass is also associated with a group of asymptotic symmetries, the BMS group at null infinity. Like the SPI group at spatial infinity, the ...

  4. Relativistic mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_mechanics

    For isolated systems (closed to all mass and energy exchange), mass never disappears in the center of momentum frame, because energy cannot disappear. Instead, this equation, in context, means only that when any energy is added to, or escapes from, a system in the center-of-momentum frame, the system will be measured as having gained or lost ...

  5. Variable-mass system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-mass_system

    At instant 1, a mass dm with velocity u is about to collide with the main body of mass m and velocity v. After a time dt, at instant 2, both particles move as one body with velocity v + dv. The following derivation is for a body that is gaining mass . A body of time-varying mass m moves at a velocity v at an initial time t.

  6. Dynamical friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_friction

    Since there is a loss of momentum and kinetic energy for the body under consideration, the effect is called dynamical friction. Another equivalent way of thinking about this process is that as a large object moves through a cloud of smaller objects, the gravitational effect of the larger object pulls the smaller objects towards it.

  7. Introduction to general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_general...

    In consequence, if energy is a source of gravity, momentum must be a source as well. The same is true for quantities that are directly related to energy and momentum, namely internal pressure and tension. Taken together, in general relativity it is mass, energy, momentum, pressure and tension that serve as sources of gravity: they are how ...

  8. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    Total energy is the sum of rest energy = and relativistic kinetic energy: = = + Invariant mass is mass measured in a center-of-momentum frame. For bodies or systems with zero momentum, it simplifies to the mass–energy equation E 0 = m 0 c 2 {\displaystyle E_{0}=m_{0}c^{2}} , where total energy in this case is equal to rest energy.

  9. Schwarzschild geodesics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_geodesics

    The third term is attractive and dominates at small values, giving a critical inner radius r inner at which a particle is drawn inexorably inwards to =; this inner radius is a function of the particle's angular momentum per unit mass or, equivalently, the length-scale defined above.
