Define Atwood's machine
Atwood's machine: The weight-and-pulley system devised to compute the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface by computing the total acceleration of a set of weights of identified mass about a frictionless pulley.
Describe why is heavy water employed as a moderator? Illustrate.

What is main difference between secondary electron image and the back scattered electron image? State briefly.
Weak equivalence principle: principle of uniqueness of freefall: The idea in general relativity is that the world-line of a freefalling body is sovereign of its composition, structure, or state. This principle, hold by Newtonian mechanics and gravitat
Biot-Savart law (J.B. Biot, F. Savart) - The law which explains the contributions to the magnetic field by an electric current. This is analogous to the Coulomb's law. Mathematically: dB = (mu0 I)/(4 pi r2) dl cross e
Metre: meter; m: The basic SI unit of length, stated as the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum throughout a period of 1/299 792 458 s.
Joule's laws (J.P. Joule) Joule's first law: The heat Q generated whenever a current I flows via a resistance R for a specified time t is specified by: Q = I2
Landauer's principle: The principle which defines that it doesn't explicitly take energy to calculate data, however instead it takes energy to remove any data, as erasure is a vital step in computation.
Ehrenfest paradox (Ehernfest, 1909): The special relativistic "paradox" including a fast rotating disc. As any radial segment of the disc is perpendicular to the direction of motion, there must be no length contraction of the radius;
Heat pumps move heat from one place to another. They work similar to refrigeration. The movement of heat takes energy, either electrical energy as in the use of vapor compression heat pumps or thermal energy as in the use of absorption heat pump
