2. Rotational–vibrational coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational–vibrational...

   In the animation with the two circling masses there is a back and forth oscillation of kinetic energy and potential energy. When the spring is at its maximal extension then the potential energy is largest, when the angular velocity is at its maximum the kinetic energy is at largest. With a real spring there is friction involved. With a real ...

3. Conservation law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law

   For example, an amount of energy could appear on Earth without changing the total amount in the Universe if the same amount of energy were to disappear from some other region of the Universe. This weak form of "global" conservation is really not a conservation law because it is not Lorentz invariant , so phenomena like the above do not occur in ...

5. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

   In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

6. First law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

   The component of total energy transfer that accompanies the transfer of vapor into the surrounding subsystem is customarily called 'latent heat of evaporation', but this use of the word heat is a quirk of customary historical language, not in strict compliance with the thermodynamic definition of transfer of energy as heat. In this example ...

7. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

   The energy conservation law states that the energy of a closed system is an integral of motion. More precisely, let q = q ( t ) be an extremal . (In other words, q satisfies the Euler–Lagrange equations).

8. Hess's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess's_law

   The concepts of Hess's law can be expanded to include changes in entropy and in Gibbs free energy, since these are also state functions. The Bordwell thermodynamic cycle is an example of such an extension that takes advantage of easily measured equilibria and redox potentials to determine experimentally inaccessible Gibbs free energy values.

9. Noether's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noether's_theorem

   The local conservation of non-gravitational linear momentum and energy in a free-falling reference frame is expressed by the vanishing of the covariant divergence of the stress–energy tensor. Another important conserved quantity, discovered in studies of the celestial mechanics of astronomical bodies, is the Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector .
