  2. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In physics and engineering, kinetics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between the motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Since the mid-20th century, the term " dynamics " (or " analytical dynamics ") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks, [ 4 ...

  3. Vis viva - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vis_viva

    Vis viva (from the Latin for "living force") is a historical term used to describe a quantity similar to kinetic energy in an early formulation of the principle of conservation of energy. Overview [ edit ]

  4. Microscopic reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_reversibility

    The Newton and the Schrödinger equations in the absence of the macroscopic magnetic fields and in the inertial frame of reference are T-invariant: if X(t) is a solution then X(-t) is also a solution (here X is the vector of all dynamic variables, including all the coordinates of particles for the Newton equations and the wave function in the configuration space for the Schrödinger equation).

  5. Biophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysics

    Medical biophysics is a field closely related to physiology. It explains various aspects and systems of the body from a physical and mathematical perspective. Examples are fluid dynamics of blood flow, gas physics of respiration, radiation in diagnostics/treatment and much more.

  6. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    The kinetic energy due to the rotation of an object, which forms part of its total kinetic energy. rotational speed. Also called speed of revolution. The number of complete rotations or revolutions a rotating body makes per unit time. Rydberg formula A formula used in atomic physics to describe the wavelengths of spectral lines of many chemical ...

  7. Kinetic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory

    Kinetic theory of matter: A general account of the properties of matter, including solids liquids and gases, based around the idea that heat or temperature is a manifestation of atoms and molecules in constant agitation. Kinetic theory of gases, an account of gas properties in terms of motion and interaction of submicroscopic particles in gases

  8. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.

  9. Kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics

    Kinetics (physics), the study of motion and its causes Rigid body kinetics, the study of the motion of rigid bodies; Chemical kinetics, the study of chemical reaction rates Enzyme kinetics, the study of biochemical reaction rates catalysed by an enzyme Michaelis–Menten kinetics, the widely accepted general model of enzyme kinetics
