    Is Moon so crucial for axial tilt stability of the planet?

    I often hear that for planet to have life on it it must have proportionaly large moon to keep it's axial tilt small like Earth is between 21.5° to 24.5° and not like Mars that varies from 15° to 35° which makes destructive effect on possible life that could flourish. But doesn't Venus have...

    History of the Earth's Axial Tilt

    The degree of the Earth's axis has changed throughout history. If I am not mistaken, I believe that people can make very accurate estimates about the historic degrees of the Earth's axial tilt. If this is the case, then I would like ask some questions 1. What was the degree of the...

    Why we know spin vector is an axial vector?

    Please teach me this: We know that orbit angular momentum is the product of coordinate operator vector and momentum operator,so when we reflect the coordinate system the angular momentum is unchanging(axial vector).But I do not understand why spin vector is axial vector. Thank you very much in...

    Axial anomaly and broken Lorentz invariance

    I had a look at Jackiws article on axial anomaly in scholarpedia: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Axial_anomaly Apparently, axial anomaly also breaks Lorentz invariance. Even if this effect would be very weak, doesn't this pull the plug on relativity?

    SU(2) axial and vector subgroups

    Hi, Could someone explain to me how to split SU(2) into its axial and vector subgroups, what does this mean? (The context I'm trying to understand this in is the U(2)_L x U(2)_R global flavour sym of chiral Lagrangian) A related question: I know that the three axial generators of SU(2)_L x...

    QCD Ward Identity in Axial Gauge

    How do (offshell) QCD ward identities look like in the axial gauge? How to derive them? The standard treatment of ward identities uses BRST symmetry in the covariant gauge. I don't know where I can read about the axial gauge version of the ward identities.

    Weak force and axial vector coupling

    Hi physics forum, I have been reading David Griffith's book "intro to elementary particles" and he describes the decay of the pi-meson as "pure axial vector" Can someone tell me what this means, in terms of the weak force vertex consisting of this factor γu(1-γ5) Thanks, Mark

    Calculating Axial Stress for a 16mm Steel Bar Under 25kN Load

    A steel bar that is 16mm in diameter is resisting a force of 25kN. What is the normal axial stress in the bar(MPa) Since MPa = N sqmm would it be 25kn/(0.016m x 0.016m) Im more after the process on how to get the answer than the answer itself.

    How does a crack in a free-free bar affect its natural frequency?

    if a free-free bar has a crack located somewhere along it's length, in order to find the natural frequency of the bar do you split the bar on either side of the crack and assume each bar is free/excited? What would the equation for natural frequency be in this situation?
