    Solving the Equation for Trace: Gamma Matrices Explained

    kγ and oν are just arbitrary vectors. I think I kinda get this notation now. As for mathematics behind I couldn't agree more. The problem is we (the students) first saw this kind of notation when actually studying scattering of Dirac particles and didn't really get much (or any) of the...

    Solving the Equation for Trace: Gamma Matrices Explained

    My bad, you re right it is an expression. I should have said evaluate the expression or simplify or something similar. As for index \nu. Doesn't o =γ\nuo? Would really appreciate some help here.

    Solving the Equation for Trace: Gamma Matrices Explained

    Homework Statement Solve the equation. What is it's trace?Homework Equations k γμ γ5 o γ\nu γ5 The Attempt at a Solution I don't think this is reduced enough. γμkμγ5γ\nuo\nuγ\nuγ5 trace: just got rid of gamma5 with anticommutation. -Tr[γμkμγ\nuo\nuγ\nu]

    What is the Average Velocity of a Race Car on a Circular Track?

    Ah sorry for the confusion I caused, in my language velocity and speed mean the same and I immediately assumed you were talking bout speed. Vocabulary updated :) Yes in this case average velocity is 0.

    What is the Average Velocity of a Race Car on a Circular Track?

    What if that 8 times quarter mile circular track would just be 2 mile long straight track? Would average velocity in that case, with your understanding also be 0? What if track is just one big circle, or figure 8? Or some random curve that is connected? I think I know where are you getting...

    What is the Average Velocity of a Race Car on a Circular Track?

    8(laps) * 1/4 mile/lap =2 miles This is the distance he traveled, doesn't matter if its circular. 2miles/0.42h=0.833mph This is the average speed. Whole distance divided by time he needed.

    What are the units for spectral energy density according to the Planck Law?

    I will just paste the link, cause its faster this way: http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/PlanckLaw.html The last equation for spectral energy density if you look at the units you get eVs/m^3 or Js/m^3, yet energy density is supposed to be J/m^3. What am I missing here?

    Step by step analytical solution of temperature distribution

    Done it some time ago but I'll post what I did if someone else will have same problems. The essential thing is to break the partial equation down into sum of components each solving a part of the whole. one for boundary conditions + one laplace for stationary solution + one time dependant...

    Moving charges: Describing its field as photons

    The photons are used when you want to describe interactions of particles. Ie. if you have 2 electrons with their own electric fields. "How do they know where and what the other one is"? It's easier for us to imagine that they exchange something that gives both a sense of their surroundings, in...

    Heat generated by particles passing through material

    Lets say you have a stream/beam of electrons, you know the current (I), time (t) and all the dimensional characteristics of the beam. You can now calculate the amount of electrons that pass some material in the amount of time. N=\frac{I t}{e_0}, where e0 is elementary charge. Now each...

    Step by step analytical solution of temperature distribution

    Homework Statement Lets say we have a 2D rectangular plate with a point heat source and some boundary conditions. I would like to solve and understand step by step the solution to this second order differential equation. Let's say dimensions of rectangular are a and b. 2 opposite sides are at...

    Lidar s-Function: Definition, Meaning & Uses

    Well I am doing some research for school, and many of the papers I've been reading have the same equation and associated graphs with it and it's never explained why exactly in this form. From what I managed to come up with is some sort of attenuation of atmosphere.

    Lidar s-Function: Definition, Meaning & Uses

    Really no one can explain this to me? Anyone know of a good book on the subject (lidar, atmosphere research ...) where this might be explained.

    Why is it that object of more mass attains less velocity

    Yes the time would remain the same. If the force is perpendicular to the gravity then the time is the same.

    Why is it that object of more mass attains less velocity

    Yes really. Imagine a net x,y,z. and let's say you have 3 rocks. You re at a point (0,0,10) 1st one you drop. Drops at (0,0,0) in some amount of time. 2nd you throw parallel to the x,y grid but only in x direction. So it drops somewhere (x,0,0) in a different time (by your understanding)...
