Glossary Physics (I-Introduction)
1 Glossary Physics (I-introduction) - Efficiency: The percent of the work put into a machine that is converted into useful work output; = work done / energy used [-]. = eta In machines: The work output of any machine cannot exceed the work input (<=100%); in an ideal machine, where no energy is transformed into heat: work(input) = work(output), =100%. Energy: The property of a system that enables it to do work. Conservation o. E.: Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may be transformed from one form into another, but the total amount of energy never changes. Equilibrium: The state of an object when not acted upon by a net force or net torque; an object in equilibrium may be at rest or moving at uniform velocity - not accelerating. Mechanical E.: The state of an object or system of objects for which any impressed forces cancels to zero and no acceleration occurs. Dynamic E.: Object is moving without experiencing acceleration. Static E.: Object is at rest.F Force: The influence that can cause an object to be accelerated or retarded; is always in the direction of the net force, hence a vector quantity; the four elementary forces are: Electromagnetic F.: Is an attraction or repulsion G, gravit. const.6.672E-11[Nm2/kg2] between electric charges: d, distance [m] 2 2 2 2 F = 1/(40) (q1q2/d ) [(CC/m )(Nm /C )] = [N] m,M, mass [kg] Gravitational F.: Is a mutual attraction between all masses: q, charge [As] [C] 2 2 2 2 F = GmM/d [Nm /kg kg 1/m ] = [N] 0, dielectric constant Strong F.: (nuclear force) Acts within the nuclei of atoms: 8.854E-12 [C2/Nm2] [F/m] 2 2 2 2 2 F = 1/(40) (e /d ) [(CC/m )(Nm /C )] = [N] , 3.14 [-] Weak F.: Manifests itself in special reactions among elementary e, 1.60210 E-19 [As] [C] particles, such as the reaction that occur in radioactive decay. -
Key Concepts for Future QIS Learners Workshop Output Published Online May 13, 2020
Key Concepts for Future QIS Learners Workshop output published online May 13, 2020 Background and Overview On behalf of the Interagency Working Group on Workforce, Industry and Infrastructure, under the NSTC Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science (QIS), the National Science Foundation invited 25 researchers and educators to come together to deliberate on defining a core set of key concepts for future QIS learners that could provide a starting point for further curricular and educator development activities. The deliberative group included university and industry researchers, secondary school and college educators, and representatives from educational and professional organizations. The workshop participants focused on identifying concepts that could, with additional supporting resources, help prepare secondary school students to engage with QIS and provide possible pathways for broader public engagement. This workshop report identifies a set of nine Key Concepts. Each Concept is introduced with a concise overall statement, followed by a few important fundamentals. Connections to current and future technologies are included, providing relevance and context. The first Key Concept defines the field as a whole. Concepts 2-6 introduce ideas that are necessary for building an understanding of quantum information science and its applications. Concepts 7-9 provide short explanations of critical areas of study within QIS: quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing. The Key Concepts are not intended to be an introductory guide to quantum information science, but rather provide a framework for future expansion and adaptation for students at different levels in computer science, mathematics, physics, and chemistry courses. As such, it is expected that educators and other community stakeholders may not yet have a working knowledge of content covered in the Key Concepts. -

Euler and the Dynamics of Rigid Bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps
Euler and the dynamics of rigid bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps Abstract. After presenting in contemporary terms an outline of the kinematics and dynamics of systems of particles, with emphasis in the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, we will consider briefly the main points of the historical unfolding that produced this understanding and, in particular, the decisive role played by Euler. In our presentation the main role is not played by inertial (or Galilean) observers, but rather by observers that are allowed to move in an arbitrary (smooth, non-relativistic) way. 0. Notations and conventions The material in sections 0-6 of this paper is an adaptation of parts of the Mechanics chapter of XAMBÓ-2007. The mathematical language used is rather standard. The read- er will need a basic knowledge of linear algebra, of Euclidean geometry (see, for exam- ple, XAMBÓ-2001) and of basic calculus. 0.1. If we select an origin in Euclidean 3-space , each point can be specified by a vector , where is the Euclidean vector space associated with . This sets up a one-to-one correspondence between points and vectors . The inverse map is usually denoted . Usually we will speak of “the point ”, instead of “the point ”, implying that some point has been chosen as an origin. Only when conditions on this origin become re- levant will we be more specific. From now on, as it is fitting to a mechanics context, any origin considered will be called an observer. When points are assumed to be moving with time, their movement will be assumed to be smooth. -
Kinematics, Kinetics, Dynamics, Inertia Kinematics Is a Branch of Classical
Course: PGPathshala-Biophysics Paper 1:Foundations of Bio-Physics Module 22: Kinematics, kinetics, dynamics, inertia Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics in physics in which one learns about the properties of motion such as position, velocity, acceleration, etc. of bodies or particles without considering the causes or the driving forces behindthem. Since in kinematics, we are interested in study of pure motion only, we generally ignore the dimensions, shapes or sizes of objects under study and hence treat them like point objects. On the other hand, kinetics deals with physics of the states of the system, causes of motion or the driving forces and reactions of the system. In a particular state, namely, the equilibrium state of the system under study, the systems can either be at rest or moving with a time-dependent velocity. The kinetics of the prior, i.e., of a system at rest is studied in statics. Similarly, the kinetics of the later, i.e., of a body moving with a velocity is called dynamics. Introduction Classical mechanics describes the area of physics most familiar to us that of the motion of macroscopic objects, from football to planets and car race to falling from space. NASCAR engineers are great fanatics of this branch of physics because they have to determine performance of cars before races. Geologists use kinematics, a subarea of classical mechanics, to study ‘tectonic-plate’ motion. Even medical researchers require this physics to map the blood flow through a patient when diagnosing partially closed artery. And so on. These are just a few of the examples which are more than enough to tell us about the importance of the science of motion. -

Hahn Saint Mary's University Department of Astronomy & Physics November 25, 2003 revised November 29 Chapter 11: Dynamics of Rigid Bodies rigid body = a collection of particles whose relative positions are fixed. We will ignore the microscopic thermal vibrations occurring among a `rigid' body's atoms. The inertia tensor Consider a rigid body that is composed of N particles. Give each particle an index α = 1 : : : N. Particle α has a velocity vf,α measured in the fixed reference frame and velocity vr,α = drα=dt in the reference frame that rotates about axis !~ . Then according to Eq. 10.17: vf,α = V + vr,α + !~ × rα where V = velocity of the moving origin relative to the fixed origin. Note that the particles in a rigid body have zero relative velocity, ie, vr,α = 0. 1 Thus vα = V + !~ × rα after dropping the f subscript 1 1 and T = m v2 = m (V + !~ × r )2 is the particle's KE α 2 α α 2 α α N so T = Tα the system's total KE is α=1 X1 1 = MV2 + m V · (!~ × r ) + m (!~ × r )2 2 α α 2 α α α α X X 1 1 = MV2 + V · !~ × m r + m (!~ × r )2 2 α α 2 α α α ! α X X where M = α mα = the system's total mass.

Broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. The universe is commonly defined as the totality of everything that exists or is known to exist.

Pythagoras (ca. 570{490 BC): a2 + b2 = c2 for rectangular triangle: Leucippus (early 5th century BC) opposed the idea of direct devine intervention in the universe. He and his student Democritus were the first to develop a theory of atomism. Plato (424/424{348/347) is said that to have disliked Democritus so much, that he wished his books burned. -
NEWTON's FIRST LAW of MOTION the Law of INERTIA
NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION The law of INERTIA INERTIA - describes how much an object tries to resist a change in motion (resist a force) inertia increases with mass INERTIA EXAMPLES Ex- takes more force to stop a bowling ball than a basket ball going the same speed (bowling ball tries more to keep going at a constant speed- resists stopping) Ex- it takes more force to lift a full backpack than an empty one (full backpack tries to stay still more- resists moving ; it has more inertia) What the law of inertia says…. AKA Newton’s First Law of Motion An object at rest, stays at rest Because the net force is zero! Forces are balanced (equal & opposite) …an object in motion, stays in motion Motion means going at a constant speed & in a straight line The net force is zero on this object too! NO ACCELERATION! …unless acted upon by a net force. Only when this happens will you get acceleration! (speed or direction changes) Forces are unbalanced now- not all equal and opposite there is a net force> 0N! You have overcome the object’s inertia! How does a traveling object move once all the forces on it are balanced? at a constant speed in a straight line Why don’t things just move at a constant speed in a straight line forever then on Earth? FRICTION! Opposes the motion & slows things down or GRAVITY if motion is in up/down direction These make the forces unbalanced on the object & cause acceleration We can’t get away from those forces on Earth! (we can encounter some situations where they are negligible though!) HOW can you make a Bowling
