  2. Hilbert's sixth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_sixth_problem

    Hilbert’s sixth problem was a proposal to expand the axiomatic method outside the existing mathematical disciplines, to physics and beyond. This expansion requires development of semantics of physics with formal analysis of the notion of physical reality that should be done. [ 9 ]

  3. Riemann–Hilbert problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann–Hilbert_problem

    The inverse scattering or inverse spectral problem associated to the Cauchy problems for 1+1 dimensional partial differential equations on the line, or to periodic problems, or even to initial-boundary value problems (Fokas (2002)), can be stated as a Riemann–Hilbert problem.

  4. Closed timelike curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_timelike_curve

    This is commonly represented on a graph with physical locations along the horizontal axis and time running vertically, with units of for time and ct for space. Light cones in this representation appear as lines at 45 degrees centered on the object, as light travels at c t {\displaystyle ct} per t {\displaystyle t} .

  5. Falling cat problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_cat_problem

    A solution of the falling cat problem is a curve in the configuration space that is horizontal with respect to the connection (that is, it is admissible by the physics) with prescribed initial and final configurations. Finding an optimal solution is an example of optimal motion planning. [11] [12]

  6. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    And these systems of the mathematics convention may measure the azimuthal angle counterclockwise (i.e., from the south direction x-axis, or 180°, towards the east direction y-axis, or +90°)—rather than measure clockwise (i.e., from the north direction x-axis, or 0°, towards the east direction y-axis, or +90°), as done in the horizontal ...

  7. Tennis racket theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem

    This can be demonstrated by the following experiment: Hold a tennis racket at its handle, with its face being horizontal, and throw it in the air such that it performs a full rotation around its horizontal axis perpendicular to the handle (ê 2 in the diagram), and then catch the handle. In almost all cases, during that rotation the face will ...

  8. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    Topspin in ball games is defined as spin about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the direction of travel that moves the top surface of the ball in the direction of travel. Under the Magnus effect, topspin produces a downward swerve of a moving ball, greater than would be produced by gravity alone.

  9. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    A point mass does not have a moment of inertia around its own axis, but using the parallel axis theorem a moment of inertia around a distant axis of rotation is achieved. Two point masses, m 1 and m 2 , with reduced mass μ and separated by a distance x , about an axis passing through the center of mass of the system and perpendicular to the ...
