  2. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

    Scots-Irish physicist Lord Kelvin was the first to formulate a concise definition of thermodynamics in 1854 [2] which stated, "Thermo-dynamics is the subject of the relation of heat to forces acting between contiguous parts of bodies, and the relation of heat to electrical agency."

  3. Spin-1/2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-1/2

    When the probabilities are calculated, the −1 is squared, (−1) 2 = 1, so the predicted physics is the same as in the starting position. Also, in a spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particle there are only two spin states and the amplitudes for both change by the same −1 factor, so the interference effects are identical, unlike the case for higher spins ...

  4. Rigid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body

    In physics, a rigid body, also known as a rigid object, [2] is a solid body in which deformation is zero or negligible. The distance between any two given points on a rigid body remains constant in time regardless of external forces or moments exerted on it. A rigid body is usually considered as a continuous distribution of mass.

  5. Fundamentals of Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentals_of_Physics

    The current version is a revised version of the original 1960 textbook Physics for Students of Science and Engineering by Halliday and Resnick, which was published in two parts (Part I containing Chapters 1-25 and covering mechanics and thermodynamics; Part II containing Chapters 26-48 and covering electromagnetism, optics, and introducing ...

  6. Vedantu - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedantu

    The company was launched in 2014. [1] Its name, Vedantu, is derived from the Sanskrit words Veda (knowledge) and Tantu (network). [2] The organization is run by IIT alumni Vamsi Krishna (co-founder and CEO), Pulkit Jain (co-founder and head of product), Saurabh Saxena (co-founder) and Anand Prakash (co-founder and head of academics).

  7. Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

    Physics is the scientific study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. [1] Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. [2] [3] [4] A scientist who specializes in the field of physics is called a physicist.

  8. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    Solving (1) is an elementary differential equation, thus the steps leading to a unique solution for v x and, subsequently, x will not be enumerated. Given the initial conditions v x = v x 0 {\displaystyle v_{x}=v_{x0}} (where v x0 is understood to be the x component of the initial velocity) and x = 0 {\displaystyle x=0} for t = 0 {\displaystyle ...

  9. Solid-state physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_physics

    Solid-state physics is the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as solid-state chemistry, quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism, and metallurgy. It is the largest branch of condensed matter physics. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic-scale ...
