  2. Free recoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_recoil

    The short form uses one equation as where the long form requires two equations. The long form finds the velocity for the fire arm. With the velocity known for the small arm, the free recoil of the small arm can be calculated using the translational kinetic energy equation.

  3. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    Thus, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute temperature of an ideal monatomic gas can be calculated easily: per mole: 12.47 J/K; per molecule: 20.7 yJ/K = 129 μeV/K; At standard temperature (273.15 K), the kinetic energy can also be obtained: per mole: 3406 J; per molecule: 5.65 zJ = 35.2 meV.

  4. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    Kinetic energy is the movement energy of an object. Kinetic energy can be transferred between objects and transformed into other kinds of energy. [10] Kinetic energy may be best understood by examples that demonstrate how it is transformed to and from other forms of energy.

  5. Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(physics...

    R = 8.314 J/(K mol) is the universal gas constant, and "f" is the number of thermodynamic (quadratic) degrees of freedom, counting the number of ways in which energy can occur. Any atom or molecule has three degrees of freedom associated with translational motion (kinetic energy) of the center of mass with respect

  6. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The amount of translational kinetic energy found in two variables: the mass of the object and the speed of the object as shown in the equation above. Kinetic energy must always be either zero or a positive value.

  7. Equipartition theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipartition_theorem

    The (Newtonian) kinetic energy of a particle of mass m, velocity v is given by = | | = (+ +), where v x, v y and v z are the Cartesian components of the velocity v.Here, H is short for Hamiltonian, and used henceforth as a symbol for energy because the Hamiltonian formalism plays a central role in the most general form of the equipartition theorem.

  8. Elastic collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision

    On average, two atoms rebound from each other with the same kinetic energy as before a collision. Five atoms are colored red so their paths of motion are easier to see. In physics, an elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same.

  9. Translation operator (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_operator...

    For example, if ^ acts on a particle located at position , the result is a particle at position +. Translation operators are unitary . Translation operators are closely related to the momentum operator ; for example, a translation operator that moves by an infinitesimal amount in the y {\displaystyle y} direction has a simple relationship to ...
