  3. Brownian motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion

    However, when he relates it to a particle of mass m moving at a velocity u which is the result of a frictional force governed by Stokes's law, he finds [()] = = =, where μ is the viscosity coefficient, and a is the radius of the particle. Associating the kinetic energy / with the thermal energy RT/N, the expression for the mean squared ...

  4. Kinetic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory

    Kinetic theory may refer to: Kinetic theory of matter: A general account of the properties of matter, including solids liquids and gases, based around the idea that heat or temperature is a manifestation of atoms and molecules in constant agitation. Kinetic theory of gases, an account of gas properties in terms of motion and interaction of ...

    The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution is a result of the kinetic theory of gases, which provides a simplified explanation of many fundamental gaseous properties, including pressure and diffusion. [3] The Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution applies fundamentally to particle velocities in three dimensions, but turns out to depend only on the speed ...

  6. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    From the kinetic theory of gases, [20] thermal conductivity of principal carrier i (p, e, f and ph) is =,, where n i is the carrier density and the heat capacity is per carrier, u i is the carrier speed and λ i is the mean free path (distance traveled by carrier before an scattering event). Thus, the larger the carrier density, heat capacity ...

    Standard Model of Particle Physics. The diagram shows the elementary particles of the Standard Model (the Higgs boson, the three generations of quarks and leptons, and the gauge bosons), including their names, masses, spins, charges, chiralities, and interactions with the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces.

  8. Action (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In the simple case of a single particle moving with a constant velocity (thereby undergoing uniform linear motion), the action is the momentum of the particle times the distance it moves, added up along its path; equivalently, action is the difference between the particle's kinetic energy and its potential energy, times the duration for which ...

    In physics (specifically, the kinetic theory of gases), the Einstein relation is a previously unexpected [clarification needed] connection revealed independently by William Sutherland in 1904, [1] [2] [3] Albert Einstein in 1905, [4] and by Marian Smoluchowski in 1906 [5] in their works on Brownian motion.
