  2. Conservation of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_mass

    The law of conservation of mass can only be formulated in classical mechanics, in which the energy scales associated with an isolated system are much smaller than , where is the mass of a typical object in the system, measured in the frame of reference where the object is at rest, and is the speed of light.

  3. Conservation law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law

    Exact conservation laws include conservation of mass-energy, conservation of linear momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of electric charge. There are also many approximate conservation laws, which apply to such quantities as mass, lepton number, baryon number, strangeness, hypercharge, etc. These quantities are ...

  4. Chemical law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_law

    The laws of stoichiometry, that is, the gravimetric proportions by which chemical elements participate in chemical reactions, elaborate on the law of conservation of mass. Joseph Proust's law of definite composition says that pure chemicals are composed of elements in a definite formulation. [1]

  5. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic processes. In general, the conservation law states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but can be neither created nor destroyed.

  7. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_balance

    The exact conservation law used in the analysis of the system depends on the context of the problem, but all revolve around mass conservation, i.e., that matter cannot disappear or be created spontaneously. [2]: 59–62 Therefore, mass balances are used widely in engineering and environmental analyses.

  8. The Subsidy Gap

    There is more money than ever in college sports, but only a few universities have cashed in. More than 150 schools that compete in Division I are using student money and other revenue to finance their sports ambitions. We call this yawning divide the Subsidy Gap.

  9. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Lagrangian mechanics provides a convenient framework in which to prove Noether's theorem, which relates symmetries and conservation laws. [66] The conservation of momentum can be derived by applying Noether's theorem to a Lagrangian for a multi-particle system, and so, Newton's third law is a theorem rather than an assumption. [18]: 124
