We know that when a magnet is exposed to high temperatures, it loses its magnetic properties. Why then does the Earth's magnetic field behave differently? That is, why doesn't the Earth lose its magnetic properties? According to BBC News Brasil, the core temperature is around 6000 ° C, higher...

This is probably a long shot but it's worth trying. My question is the following: What properties of dark matter can we derive from each of the available methods for probing the physics of dark matter? To elaborate a bit, my understanding is that the evidence for dark matter comes from its...

I am a First Year Undergraduate Physics student. Which will be the best textbook for me to study properties of matter (Elasticity) and fluid mechanics? I prefer a better theoretical understanding.

Is any way to get Rodrigues' rotation formula from matrix exponential \begin{equation} e^{i\phi (\star\vec{n}) } = e^{i\phi (\vec{n}\cdot\hat{\vec{S}}) } = \hat{I} + (\star\vec{n})\sin\phi + (\star\vec{n})^2( 1 - \cos\phi ). \end{equation} using SO(3) groups comutators properties ONLY...

I appreciate some helps with this question. I understand that soft noodles is not as strong as calamari squid and breaks easily . I also know that that calamari squid does not have elastic behaviour since behaves like rubber band and it goes back to it's original shape after reloading. But I'm...

a)plastic deformation because of permanent deformation b) the other parts that have been destroyed have stored the energy and this saved the passenger compartment. C) the alloy crash barrier is stronger than the car body and and saves more of the energy by deforming shape. I'm not sure about my...

Does scale factor must be continuous(Con.) and differentiable (Diff.) ? Or can it be one of them or neither ? Physically one expects it to be Con. and Diff. but is there a more rigorous proof. And as a separate question, if ##\dot{a}## is not continuous/differentiable in some case, does that...

I can't seem to figure out which chemical properties govern the physical property that is young's modulus. For example, any linear (or with a low degree of branching) polyethylene with no crosslinking is still a somewhat rigid and solid substance (higher ym), whereas the most linear possible...

Hello everyone, Is there a straightforward way to determine the electrical properties, such as the dielectric constant (or function), of a molecule (for instance, a metal oxide)? I understand a simple weight-average model wouldn't work for various reasons. Thanks so much!

Hi, I have been having some trouble in finding the determinant of matrix A in this Q Which relevant determinant property should I make use of to help me find the determinant of matrix A and maybe matrix B also This is what I have tried for matrix A so far but it's not much help really Any...

screenshot to avoid typos I picked B just could see the others as definite insights?

I'm looking for a book series tabulating various mechanical and material properties for metals and alloys. There is a book series called "Thermophysical Properties of Matter" and it details the thermophysical properties of hundreds of elements and compounds (even including some obscure uranium...

So let's say that we have som unitary matrix, ##S##. Let that unitary matrix be the scattering matrix in quantum mechanics or the "S-matrix". Now we all know that it can be defined in the following way: $$\psi(x) = Ae^{ipx} + Be^{-ipx}, x<<0$$ and $$ \psi(x) = Ce^{ipx} + De^{-ipx}$$. Now, A and...

I'm not very sure whether a predicate can be neither true or false, and I haven't seen any example so far. The second choice is false because it is the truth set that is the set of all values which make the predicate true. A predicate has finite variables, so the third choice is false too. I...

Is it true that ##\frac{|a|}{|b|} = |\frac{a}{b}|## and ##|a| < |b| = a^2 < b^2##?

[Throughout we're considering the intrinsic version of the covariant derivative. The extrinsic version isn't of any concern.] I'm having trouble reconciling different versions of the properties to be satisfied by the covariant derivative. Essentially ##\nabla## sends ##(p,q)##-tensors to...

The following exercise was proposed by samalkhaiat here. The given Lorentz identities were proven here. We first note that ##d^4 k = d^3 \vec k dk_0##, the ##k_0## integration is over ##-\infty < k_0 < \infty## and ##\epsilon (k_0)## is the sign function, which is defined as $$\epsilon...

Hello all! I would like to know what chemical/physical properties influencies the specific heat. For example, why are specific heat of metals smaller than the specific heat of water, and why do ice and steam have a smaller specific heat than liquid water do.

I am trying to understand but without a succes why symmetric magnetic field around ##Z## axis make that ##\hat \phi## magnetic field is zero I can't understand why it physically happens and also how can I derive it mathematically? What does the word symmetric means when talking about magnetic...

My questions are as follows: 1. How do we find them and why do we need them? 2. What are the meanings of the mean and the median of a PDF? Are the formulae below correct? $$\int_{a}^{median} f(x) \mathrm{d}x = \int_{median}^{b} f(x) \mathrm{d}x$$ $$\int_{a}^{mean} f(x) \cdot x \mathrm{d}x =...

I have tried to write down the boundary conditions in this case and looked into them. As conditions i) and ii) were trivial, i looked into iii) and iv) for information that I could use. But all I got was that for the transmitted wave to have an angle, the reflective wave should also have an...

To elaborate a little on what I think I do understand / accept: 1. I don't think I have a problem accepting the "weirdness" of quantum concepts. So, for example, I am willing to accept the concept that a quantum system can "exist" in a large number of different states simultaneously. 2. I...

I know the hyperbola of the form x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2=1 and xy=c; but coming across this question I'm put in a dilemma of how to proceed with calculating anything of it - say eccentricity or latus rectum or transverse axis as said. How to generalize a hyperbola (but i don't want a complex derivation...

I see this question in PSE and it seemed interesting. The Question is like this, Consider a semi-Riemannian manifold which of these statements is false: 1) All vectors on the light-cone are light-like, all vectors in the interior of the light-cone are time-like and all vectors in the exterior...
