  2. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  3. Generating function (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The generating function F for this transformation is of the third kind, = (,). To find F explicitly, use the equation for its derivative from the table above, =, and substitute the expression for P from equation , expressed in terms of p and Q:

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2]

  6. Robert Hooke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hooke

    In physics, Hooke inferred that gravity obeys an inverse square law and arguably was the first to hypothesise such a relation in planetary motion, [19] [20] a principle Isaac Newton furthered and formalised in Newton's law of universal gravitation. [21] Priority over this insight contributed to the rivalry between Hooke and Newton.

  7. Neo-Hookean solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Hookean_solid

    A neo-Hookean solid [1] [2] is a hyperelastic material model, similar to Hooke's law, that can be used for predicting the nonlinear stress–strain behavior of materials undergoing large deformations.

  8. Canonical transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_transformation

    Restricted canonical transformations are coordinate transformations where transformed coordinates Q and P do not have explicit time dependence, i.e., = (,) and = (,).The functional form of Hamilton's equations is ˙ =, ˙ = In general, a transformation (q, p) → (Q, P) does not preserve the form of Hamilton's equations but in the absence of time dependence in transformation, some ...

  9. Hooke's atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_atom

    Employing atomic units, the Hamiltonian defining the Hooke's atom is ^ = + (+) + | |. As written, the first two terms are the kinetic energy operators of the two electrons, the third term is the harmonic electron-nucleus potential, and the final term the electron-electron interaction potential.
