Levers
... a wheelbarrow. In the diagram, the wheel or fulcrum on the wheelbarrow is helping to share the weight of the load. This means that it takes less effort to move a load in a wheelbarrow than to carry it. Mechanical advantage and velocity ratio Class 1 and class 2 levers both provide mechanical advanta ...

... I had an opportunity to read proofs of the book when I joined the Landau department in the Institute for Physical Problems in Moscow as a Ph.D. student in 1955. After reading this paragraph I decided to derive ‘‘the corresponding formulae’’ for the tensor. It was, of course, a quite ambitious goal. ...

... light c {in vacuum/free space} and thus have no rest mass frame, then in the center-of-momentum frame of a real photon: A A A A 0 . Since this is a Lorentz invariant quantity, it must be the same numerical value in all reference frames, e.g. including the lab frame IRF(S). Thus, we can n ...

Electric fields are not affected by the test charge. (d) When the value of one quantity depends on the v ...

... • If the strength of the electric field between the plates of an air filled capacitor becomes too strong, then the air can no longer insulate the charges from sparking (discharging) between the plates. For air, this breakdown occurs when the electric field is greater than 3x106 V/m. (this is what oc ...
