  2. Outline of energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_energy

    Internal energy (abbreviated E or U), the total kinetic energy due to the motion of molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational) and the total potential energy associated with the vibrational and electric energy of atoms within molecules. Negative energy; Energy conversion, process of converting energy from one form to another

  3. Zero-point energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy

    The Heisenberg uncertainty principle allows the energy to be as large as needed to promote quantum actions for a brief moment of time, even if the average energy is small enough to satisfy relativity and flat space. To cope with disagreements, the vacuum energy is described as a virtual energy potential of positive and negative energy. [93]

  4. Fermi gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_gas

    For N fermions with spin-1 ⁄ 2 in the box, no more than two particles can have the same energy, i.e., two particles can have the energy of , two other particles can have energy and so forth. The two particles of the same energy have spin 1 ⁄ 2 (spin up) or − 1 ⁄ 2 (spin down), leading to two states for each energy level.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_field

    The electric field of such a uniformly moving point charge is hence given by: [25] = (⁡) /, where is the charge of the point source, is the position vector from the point source to the point in space, is the ratio of observed speed of the charge particle to the speed of light and is the angle between and the observed velocity of the charged ...

  7. Gravitational acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_acceleration

    Vector field (blue) and its associated scalar potential field (red). Point P between earth and moon is the point of equilibrium. In physics, a gravitational field or gravitational acceleration field is a vector field used to explain the influences that a body extends into the space around itself. [6]

  8. Stress–energy tensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress–energy_tensor

    The stress–energy tensor, sometimes called the stress–energy–momentum tensor or the energy–momentum tensor, is a tensor physical quantity that describes the density and flux of energy and momentum in spacetime, generalizing the stress tensor of Newtonian physics. It is an attribute of matter, radiation, and non-gravitational force fields.

  9. Special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

    For an object at rest, the energy–momentum four-vector is (E/c, 0, 0, 0): it has a time component, which is the energy, and three space components, which are zero. By changing frames with a Lorentz transformation in the x direction with a small value of the velocity v, the energy momentum four-vector becomes ( E / c , Ev / c 2 , 0, 0) .
