  2. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    [10] [11] Moreover, words which are synonymous in everyday speech are not so in physics: force is not the same as power or pressure, for example, and mass has a different meaning than weight. [12] [13]: 150 The physics concept of force makes quantitative the everyday idea of a push or a pull. Forces in Newtonian mechanics are often due to ...

  3. Faraday's ice pail experiment - Wikipedia

    An important conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the net charge inside a closed conducting container is always zero, even if a charged object is put in. [4] If the charge inside can find a conducting path to the container wall, it will flow to the outside surface of the container due to its mutual repulsion. If it cannot, the ...

    And in the conclusion, everything is analyzed and summed up. For example, the conclusion part in an essay about sports: "Sports can bring a bunch of benefits for youth, including general health, together with blood circulation and overall physical stamina improvement.

  5. Black hole thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_thermodynamics

    In physics, black hole thermodynamics [1] is the area of study that seeks to reconcile the laws of thermodynamics with the existence of black hole event horizons.As the study of the statistical mechanics of black-body radiation led to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics, the effort to understand the statistical mechanics of black holes has had a deep impact upon the ...

  6. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

    Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. [2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics, which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.

  7. Electric charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge

    He came to the conclusion that electric charge was a relation between two or more bodies, because he could not charge one body without having an opposite charge in another body. [45] In 1838, Faraday also put forth a theoretical explanation of electric force, while expressing neutrality about whether it originates from one, two, or no fluids. [46]

  8. Gay-Lussac's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay-Lussac's_law

    Some introductory physics textbooks still define the pressure-temperature relationship as Gay-Lussac's law. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Gay-Lussac primarily investigated the relationship between volume and temperature and published it in 1802, but his work did cover some comparison between pressure and temperature. [ 9 ]

  9. Introduction to quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_quantum...

    Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles.By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the Moon.
