Herman Trivilino replied to the thread I What does equiprobable mean in the context of thermal motion?.If I understand your question, the answer would be any vector not parallel to the y-axis will have a nonzero x-component. Not sure what...

Herman Trivilino reacted to Baluncore's post in the thread I Time interval terminology with
Informative.
The astronomical term is "Synodic Day", because that Earth rotation is measured relative to the Sun, not (sidereal) the stars. The term... -
Herman Trivilino replied to the thread A Charge to mass ratio of a photon.Charge to mass ratio applies only to particles that have both charge and mass. It makes no sense to speak of the charge to mass ratio of...
