  2. Exact solutions of classical central-force problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_solutions_of...

    Exact solutions of classical central-force problems. In the classical central-force problem of classical mechanics, some potential energy functions produce motions or orbits that can be expressed in terms of well-known functions, such as the trigonometric functions and elliptic functions. This article describes these functions and the ...

  3. Classical central-force problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Classical_central-force_problem

    t. e. In classical mechanics, the central-force problem is to determine the motion of a particle in a single central potential field. A central force is a force (possibly negative) that points from the particle directly towards a fixed point in space, the center, and whose magnitude only depends on the distance of the object to the center.

  4. Central-force problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central-force_problem

    There are several types of central-force problems, depending on the physical theory being applied. Classical physics. Classical central-force problem; Kepler problem, a special case (inverse-square central force) Two-body problem, which may be reduced to a central-force problem; General relativity

  5. Eight queens puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

    Eight queens puzzle. The eight queens puzzle is the problem of placing eight chess queens on an 8×8 chessboard so that no two queens threaten each other; thus, a solution requires that no two queens share the same row, column, or diagonal. There are 92 solutions. The problem was first posed in the mid-19th century.

  6. Elasticity (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(physics)

    e. In physics and materials science, elasticity is the ability of a body to resist a distorting influence and to return to its original size and shape when that influence or force is removed. Solid objects will deform when adequate loads are applied to them; if the material is elastic, the object will return to its initial shape and size after ...

  7. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    A divide-and-conquer algorithm recursively breaks down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same or related type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly. The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solution to the original problem. The divide-and-conquer technique is the basis of efficient algorithms ...

  8. Hierarchy problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_problem

    Technical definition. A hierarchy problem [2] occurs when the fundamental value of some physical parameter, such as a coupling constant or a mass, in some Lagrangian is vastly different from its effective value, which is the value that gets measured in an experiment. This happens because the effective value is related to the fundamental value ...

  9. Atomic force microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_force_microscopy

    An atomic force microscope on the left with controlling computer on the right. Atomic force microscopy [1] (AFM) is a type of SPM, with demonstrated resolution on the order of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit. The information is gathered by "feeling" or "touching" the surface with a ...
