  • Units and Magnitudes (Lecture Notes)
    physics 8.701 topic 2 Frank Wilczek Units and Magnitudes (lecture notes) This lecture has two parts. The first part is mainly a practical guide to the measurement units that dominate the particle physics literature, and culture. The second part is a quasi-philosophical discussion of deep issues around unit systems, including a comparison of atomic, particle ("strong") and Planck units. For a more extended, profound treatment of the second part issues, see arxiv.org/pdf/0708.4361v1.pdf . Because special relativity and quantum mechanics permeate modern particle physics, it is useful to employ units so that c = ħ = 1. In other words, we report velocities as multiples the speed of light c, and actions (or equivalently angular momenta) as multiples of the rationalized Planck's constant ħ, which is the original Planck constant h divided by 2π. 27 August 2013 physics 8.701 topic 2 Frank Wilczek In classical physics one usually keeps separate units for mass, length and time. I invite you to think about why! (I'll give you my take on it later.) To bring out the "dimensional" features of particle physics units without excess baggage, it is helpful to keep track of powers of mass M, length L, and time T without regard to magnitudes, in the form When these are both set equal to 1, the M, L, T system collapses to just one independent dimension. So we can - and usually do - consider everything as having the units of some power of mass. Thus for energy we have while for momentum 27 August 2013 physics 8.701 topic 2 Frank Wilczek and for length so that energy and momentum have the units of mass, while length has the units of inverse mass.

A standard battery system that powers electrified vehicles is composed of many individual battery cells, modules and forms a system. Each of these levels have a natural tendency to have a decreased energy density and specific energy compared to their predecessor. This however, is an important factor for the size of the battery system and ultimately, cost and range of the electric vehicle. This study investigated the trends of 25 commercially available BEVs of the years 2010 to 2019 regarding their change in energy density and specific energy of from cell to module to system. Systems are improving. However, specific energy is improving more than energy density.

Thus, from mere possibility, interplanetary communication has entered the stage of probability."2 Nikola Tesla, 1900 "Movements on instrument repeated many times.

  • Drag Coefficient
    086 . comparo D RAG QUEENS FIVE SLIPPERY CARS ENTER A WIND TUNNEL; ONE SLINKS OUT A WINNER. by DON SHERMAN photography by MARK BRAMLEY 087 LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, WIND RESISTANCE IS A STEALTHY INTRUDER THAT SAPS YOUR SPEED AND MURDERS YOUR MILEAGE WITHOUT LEAVING FINGERPRINTS. THE GENTLE MURMUR OF AIR STREAMING OVER, UNDER, AND THROUGH YOUR CAR BELIES THE WIND’S HEINOUS WAYS. Even if there’s no alternative to driving through Earth’s atmosphere, we can at least fight wind resistance with science. Aerodynamics—the study of air in motion—can lift our top speeds, curb our fuel consumption, and, if we’re smart about it, keep our tires stuck to the pavement. Long before automotive engineers fretted over aerodynamics, D RAG QUEENS aviation pioneers defined the basic principles of drag and lift. Inspired by birds and airships, early speed demons also toyed with streamlined shapes. The first car to crack 60 mph (in 1899) was an electrically pro- pelled torpedo on wheels called, hilariously, “La Jamais Contente” (“The Never Satisfied”). Grand Prix racers took up the cause in the early 1920s; the following decade, Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz raced toward 300 mph with streamliners developed in German wind tunnels. Half a century after Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in flight, Andy Green drove his ThrustSSC a satisfying 763 mph across Nevada’s Black Rock desert. Now it’s our turn. Car and Driver gathered five slippery cars to study their drag and lift properties at a wind tunnel whose name and location we swore not to reveal.

It has similarities to both the traditional Tesla coil and to the modern switched-mode flyback converter. This report will document the design, operation, and construction of such a system. Possible industrial applications for the device will also be considered. I.
