  1. Why is the work done by static friction on a rolling object zero (or is ...

    Mar 16, 2024 · There's a lot of room for improvement here. I'll answer the three original questions, but in reverse order, since I think the third question, when proprely considered, will shed light on the others. …

  2. operators - What are observables in "Factorization Algebras in …

    Feb 24, 2026 · In chapter 2 of "Factorization Algebras in Quantum Field Theory" by Kevin Costello and Owen Gwilliam, they define the observables in quantum case as follows: we consider …

  3. How to derive the Clausius Inequality? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Nov 18, 2023 · In my thermodynamics class, we've seen the Clausius inequality derived for a Carnot cycle, and then extended to any cycle. For the Carnot Cycle, we have that it's the most efficient …

  4. optics - What color is antimatter? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Dec 28, 2024 · Antimatter has the same electromagnetic properties as matter (due to CPT symmetry), so its atoms and solids exhibit identical energy levels and band structures, meaning an anti-object …

  5. Why do fusion and fission both release energy?

    Jan 30, 2019 · In general, both fusion and fission may either require or release energy. Purely classical model Nucleons are bound together with the strong (and some weak) nuclear force. The nuclear …

  6. Why do large trucks have a longer stopping distance than cars?

    May 23, 2024 · It's common knowledge that large, heavy trucks can't brake as sharply as small cars. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration: The average stopping distance for a …

  7. Why does $\omega^2=\frac {k} {m}$? - Physics Stack Exchange

    Oct 14, 2023 · Given: $$ F = m \ddot x = - kx $$ This can be simplified using division and addition: $$ \ddot x + \frac {k} {m} x = 0 $$ For simplicity, we define $\omega^2 = \frac {k} {m}$ because we know …

  8. SG Iron Casting Manufacturers - Physics Stack Exchange

    Feb 23, 2026 · JS Auto Cast is a reliable SG Iron Casting Manufacturers in India and an emerging supplier in the USA and Europe for manufacturing and delivering iron casting components and parts …

  9. Sound Attenuation and Loss Factor - Physics Stack Exchange

    Aug 14, 2024 · You mentioned that you have the loss factor $ \text {tan} (\delta) $ for your material, but Stokes’s law requires the dynamic viscosity. The loss factor is closely tied to how much energy a …

  10. What are the Eigenstates and Eigenvalues? [closed]

    Jun 10, 2019 · Since you are supposed to ask only one question per post, I will answer only your first question about eigenstates and eigenvalues. Consider a matrix acting on vectors by matrix-vector …
