Gavran's latest activity
-
GGavran replied to the thread If Heat Is Motion, Why Isn’t All Motion Heat?.You ask about the difference between thermal energy and mechanical energy. Both are two different forms of kinetic energy, which is the...

GGavran reacted to FactChecker's post in the thread Is the quantum wave function a real object or a mathematical tool? with
Like.
Subatomic particles present wave-like behavior that is real and measurable but is not classical particle behavior. It's not just a... -
GIt’s better, thanks. You can’t lift halfway, then start again to go higher; the car must be lowered before raising again, to allow the...

GGavran reacted to A.T.'s post in the thread Graduate Does a moving particle count as a wave? with
Like.
Unfortunately the OP is applying his own private definition of "equilibrium" (basically "any arbitrarily chosen reference") and thus... -
GGavran replied to the thread Graduate Does a moving particle count as a wave?.You are wrong. For instance, in the case of a moving particle with a constant velocity, a position change of a moving particle cannot be...
-
GGavran replied to the thread Undergrad Why ##a^0=1##?.Very similar to post #6. $$ a^0=a^{x-x}=\frac{a^x}{a^x}=1 $$
-
GGavran replied to the thread Graduate Does a moving particle count as a wave?.In my opinion, your definition is correct, but it is incomplete. I agree with @kuruman (post #5) that a wave in classical physics does...

GGavran reacted to kuruman's post in the thread Graduate Does a moving particle count as a wave? with
Informative.
So I googled "What is a wave?" and this is what I got. If you go by this more complete AI overview and not by what Wikipedia says, your... -
GGavran replied to the thread Graduate Does a moving particle count as a wave?."While waves are ubiquitous features of physical systems, no single definition adequately describes the topic." (from Wikipedia)

GGavran reacted to Charles Link's post in the thread Undergrad Finding the minimum distance between two curves with
Informative.
Note: @Gavran 's method (post 15 above) needs a second power form to take the discriminant. @pasmith 's method works in the general... -
GGavran reacted to Lnewqban's post in the thread Simple Thermodynamics question: Temperature of water in a cup after adding cooler water to it with
Like.
Since there is no energy loss to the environment in this case, the initial thermal energy of each mass of liquid becomes the final... -
GGavran reacted to WWGD's post in the thread High School Abel Prize awarded, 2026, to Gerd Faltings with
Informative.

GGavran replied to the thread Solve the given second order differential equation.Clearly, the equation ## 4x^5u''+12x^2u'-4u=0 ## is not a Cauchy–Euler equation, and it cannot be solved by the standard method, which...
