Define Machs principle
Mach's principle (E. Mach; c. 1870): The inertia of any specific particle or particles of matter is attributable to the interaction among that piece of matter and the rest of the world. Therefore, a body in isolation would contain no inertia.
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
Ergosphere: The area around a rotating black hole, among the event horizon and the static limit, where the rotational energy can be removed from the black hole.
As shown in the figure below, a source at S is sending out a spherical wave: E1=(A×D/r) cos(wt-2πr/λ); where r is the distance to source
Peltier effect (J.C.A. Peltier; 1834): The modification in temperature produced at a junction among the two dissimilar metals or semiconductors whenever an electric current passes through the junction.
Eotvos law of capillarity (Baron L. von Eotvos; c. 1870): The surface tension gamma of a liquid is associated to its temperature T, the liquid's critical temperature, T*, and its density rho by: gamma ~=
Van der Waals force (J.D. van der Waals): The forces responsible for non-ideal behavior of gases, and for lattice energy of molecular crystals. There are three main causes: dipole-dipole interaction; dipole-induced dipole moments; and dispersion a for
Noether theorem (Noether): A theorem that explains that symmetries are what gives rise to conserved quantities. For example, the translational symmetry (that is the fact that the laws of physics work the same in all positions) gives r
Explain Maxwells equations and its four elegant equation? Maxwell's equations (J.C. Maxwell; 1864): The four elegant equations that explain classical electroma
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;
Twin paradox: One of the most well-known "paradoxes" in history, predicted by Sir Einstein's special theory of relativity. It takes two twins, born on similar date on Earth. One, Albert, leaves home for a trip about the Universe at very high speeds (v
