Law is a system of rules created and enforced through social or governmental institutions to regulate behavior, with its precise definition a matter of longstanding debate. It has been variously described as a science and the art of justice. State-enforced laws can be made by a group legislature or by a single legislator, resulting in statutes; by the executive through decrees and regulations; or established by judges through precedent, usually in common law jurisdictions. Private individuals may create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that adopt alternative ways of resolving disputes to standard court litigation. The creation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
Legal systems vary between countries, with their differences analysed in comparative law. In civil law jurisdictions, a legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates the law. In common law systems, judges make binding case law through precedent, although on occasion this may be overturned by a higher court or the legislature. Historically, religious law influenced secular matters, and is still used in some religious communities. Sharia law based on Islamic principles is used as the primary legal system in several countries, including Iran and Saudi Arabia.Law's scope can be divided into two domains. Public law concerns government and society, including constitutional law, administrative law, and criminal law. Private law deals with legal disputes between individuals and/or organisations in areas such as contracts, property, torts/delicts and commercial law. This distinction is stronger in civil law countries, particularly those with a separate system of administrative courts; by contrast, the public-private law divide is less pronounced in common law jurisdictions.Law provides a source of scholarly inquiry into legal history, philosophy, economic analysis and sociology. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness, and justice.
I was wondering which equation do springs obey better:
$$F=-kx$$
$$F=-k ln(x/x_0)$$
The first is Hooke's law, but the second comes when we consider the relative deformation instead of the absolute deformation. I am asking because I haven't seen any website stating the second equation, I just...
During an experiment, using Hooks law resulted in a spring constant of 7,8N/m while for the oscillation-method the constant was 8,6N/m. Could someone help me to clarify whay they differ and which vlsue is the correct one.
I'm reading the article https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267938119_ON_THE_GALILEAN_COVARIANCE_OF_CLASSICAL_MECHANICS (pdf link here), in which the authors want to establish the transformation rule for momentum, assuming only that ##\vec{F}=d\vec{p}/dt## and notwithstanding the relation...
I've come across this alternative formulation of Planck's Law which links the number density to energy gap
n(E) = \frac{2\pi}{c^2 h^3} \frac{E^2}{exp\big(\frac{E-\mu}{k_BT})-1}
I've tried visualising this relation and I imagine it will look similar to the spectral density relation but I'm just...
Gauss' law dictates that charge will only appear on the outer surface of a conductor. But if there's charge in a conducting cavity, the inner surface of the conductor will accumulate induced charge. So what's outer or inner should be redefined?
The significant digits of numbers in sets of numerical data supposedly follows "Benford's Law", which asserts that the probability that the first digit in a given data point is ##D## is about ##\log_{10}(1+ \frac{1}{D})##. An upshot is that we expect ~30% of significant digits to be ##1##.

I'm reading a section in a textbook on the explanation of covariance of Newton's 2nd law under Galilean boosts. It's explained that ##\mathbf{a}=\mathbf{a'}## (where we're considering two frames ##S## and ##S'## moving inertially w.r.t. each other). Mass is assumed to not vary across the frames...
Although I am not too sure how to answer this quesion I have tried below.
I realize that an electromotive force is a supply voltage, the energy transferred per unit charge when one type of energy is converted into electrical energy. However, EMF is not actually a force. It is usually measured...
In derivations of capacitance it is standard to consider two oppositely charged, infinitely thin sheets. If we construct a Gaussian cylinder across one sheet, we obtain ##E_{1} = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_{0}}## for one sheet, and then we can superpose this field with that from the other at an...
I do not know how to do this because in order to find the force of gravity it seemed to me i need to know the mass of the planet and vice versa, and for the 1st exercice i do not know whether the planet fills the astronaut's field of view. If it does in understand that i need to use trigonometry...
We have 4-tensor of second rank. For example energy-momentum tensor ##T_μν##
, which is symmetric and traceless. Then
##T_{μν}=x_μx_ν+x_νx_μ##
where ##x_μ##
is 4-vector. Every 4- vector transform under Lorentz transform as (12,12). If we act on ## T_{μν}##

This is my attempt, i am confused at some points
a. r = 0; The Electric field is 0
b. At r = a/2.00; I verified the answer and it is non zero, but my understanding is that the net charge should be on the surface of the conductor. Hence the charge q1=5*10^-15 C, should go to the surface of the...
I actually found most of it out I'm just struggling with how to find the mass of the balls. I'm not sure how you would do that since could only derive two equations from the information given or are we assuming the mass is so small that it doesn't matter?
Q = charge of one pith ball
d =...
I was told to solve the second equation above for x to get l2 and l2, but that only gets me those in terms of other unknowns. I'm assuming I just need to solve t for my knowns, but I keep getting caught up by my unknowns. i.e., solving for x gives x = (l2*L*v2)/(l1*v1+l2*v2). Please note "l" is...
In a salt crystal, the distance between adjacent sodium and chloride ions is 2.82×10^−10m. What is the force of attraction between the two singly charged ions?
The force on a test charge Q due to source charge q, depends on both their velocities in addition to several other quantities. For electrostatics, the source charge is at rest (its velocity is zero) but the test charge may be moving. Then how does Coulomb's Law accommodate for this velocity of...
I really don't understand the theory of the above kind of questions. But from the little theory i understand the Electric field is 0 inside the conductor and all the charge goes to the surface and distributes equally.
a. Since the E=0 inside the conductor the point charge distributes outside...
I have a question about the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

My attempt is
∅ = ∫E.dA.
The direction of E is going out of the net towards +ve i axis.
I am not clear on the direction of the Area, it can be either +ve i-axis or -ve i-axis. Which direction should i consider?
∅ = ∫3.dA = 3*∫dA ---->1
∫dA is the area of the circle.

I get a negative I_2 current which just indicates that...
Hi! This is a very simple question regarding terms of expressions.
One law of motion is: F=ma
Another, using L as the linear momentum, is: F = dL/dt
If the first equation can be characterized (ignoring reference frames) as a "coordinate-based equation" (since is concerned with the second...
In my State, the statute says 2 of 3 brake lights required. How is one brake light any brighter than 3 or 4?
Is my perception of reality flawed? & though I say it is just as bright, when asked to give a reason why, I can not produce any answer. Is it because it is simply “there” or is it...
I can't understand intuitively why the authors of the book expressed the cross product between the vectors dl and r (unit vector) as: dl sin(pi/2 - theta); isn't it supposed to be expressed as: dl sin(theta)?? So why did the authors put that pi/2 into the argument of sin function, that's my...
My attempt:
I realized after i had tried to solve the problem that the current must be constant in the cables. But no information about where the cables has radius a and b is given so how would I go about to find an expression for the current?
Thanks in advance!
In this case with a presence of the airgap, what should I do with the equation that is provided to be? Must the temperature gradient be caculated spearately (glass+air+glass) ? My tutor provided the hint that the heat flux should be constant for the windows, so in this case should I just omit...

A standard example consider a capacitor whose parallel plates have a circular shape, of radius R, so that the system has a cylindrical symmetry.
The magnetic field at a given distance r from the common axis of the plates is calculated via Ampere's law:

Besides gravity that always works perpendicular to Earth and thus pulls apples from apple trees towards the ground, there must have been some sort of mid 17th century human made contraption, that used a constant force, produced to move objects with or without wheels, in a direction parallel to...
I have asked this question elsewhere. I have gotten no clear answer.
What I already know:
The interval (differential) sizes (areas) are different in terms of wavelength and wavenumber.
The total energy is the same when the curves are integrated over all wavelengths or wavenumbers
So please...
This is a very remedial question, so thanks in advance for you gentle indulgence :smile: Where do I find the quantization term (the "n") in Planck's Law?
If I want to find the tension in the rope that connects block A and B. I can apply Newtons first law.
Sum of all forces in opposite direction equals 0.
The forces that work on block A is Friction (Ra) and the force on the rope that pulls the block towards the right (T) So we get T-Ra = 0 and...
I have a simple sketch of the diagram, and I know I must use the vertical component of the magnetic field of the Earth when doing this problem

Hi,
I posted a similar question recently and gained some insight on these types of problems. However, I am slightly stumped on how to approach this variation of the problem.
So I know that:
- there is no net change in enthalpy of the blocks and the engine as the processes are reversible
-...
So far all I can work out is that the angle of incidence of the outer two and inner two rays is zero degrees, however, I can't work out how to get started on the problem. I feel like I need to use vertical slowness rather than the normal snell's law since I'm working with a dZ rather than a dX...
So this is something I been thinking about. In venturi principle when a fluid or gas is moving across a tube when it is constricted the fluid has increased velocity. Because it in constriction the pressure goes down.
But in Boyle law if volume is decreased the pressure goes up.
So in the...
So there's something I'm missing when I think of Newton's 3rd law of motion.
If all forces between two objects exist in equal magnitude and opposite direction, how is it that, for example, when I'm driving my car, the car "runs through" all the air molecules, and they seemingly don't exert the...
So we'd like to find leg C.
But we can't use Law of Cosines yet so we will use Law of Sines.
We can easily find the length of A and this is ##\sqrt{13}##.
With some geometry we can see that ##\angle a = 53.1##.
We can now use Law of sines.
$$\frac{\sin(a)}{A} = \frac{\sin(b)}{B}$$
We want to...

Hello, I'd like some clarification with the exact wording of Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation.
The law states that at thermal equilibrium αλ=ελ.
However sometimes I read that absorptivity= emissivity and sometimes I read that rate of A. = rate of E.
Which one is correct? I'm not sure but I...
I tried validating the equation by somehow 'solving' only with the involved units.
Magnetic Flux Density – Tesla (T) – Weber (Wb) per square meter (Wb/m2)
This is the problem, first time i am attempting the Ampere's law problem
From the above question this is my attempt, the picture is
∫B.ds = μ*Ienc; ----> Ampere law , where Ienc is the current enclosed in the amperian loop.
I assume the circle as the amperian loop, is it correct? Can i...
