Radius Definition and 1000 Threads

Publication News article It looks increasingly like something is wrong with the older electron-based results. The story of "with electrons you measure one thing, with muons another" doesn't work any more. Is that a good thing (there might be some conclusion what the radius is in the next years)...

Homework Statement: Derive the formula for moment of inertia of a hollow sphere. Homework Equations: Required answer ##\frac{2MR^2}{3}## Consider a Hollow sphere. At an angle ##Θ## with the vertical, consider a circular ring whose moment of inertia is given by ##MR^2##. The most basic...

Well, what I've done so far is calculating the magnitude of velocity and acceleration replacing ##t=2## in ##\theta (t)## and ##r(t)## so I could get the expressions for ##\dot r##, ##\dot \theta##, ##\ddot r## and ##\ddot \theta##. But that's not my problem... my problem is related to the...

I can calculate the angular speed but I don't know how to calculate the radius. Is there certain formula to calculate it? Thanks

In order to calculate for the curl of the induced electric field for a loop moving in a uniform magnetic field, and using the cylindrical coordinate system for a curl, it's my understanding that since the B field is in the 𝑧̂ direction, then so is the partial time derivative of B, and therefore...

Suppose a sphere were to be placed around our Sun with a radius equal to the radius of the orbit of Earth, it would have a volume of 6.266x1022 m3. At any instant in time there would be 3.846x1027 Watts of energy within this volume in the form of photons from the Sun. Since...

Hello! I am a bit confused about the definition of the radius in Schwarzschild metric. In the Schutz book on GR (pg. 264, General rules for integrating the equations) he says: "A tiny sphere of radius ##r = \epsilon## has circumference ##2\pi\epsilon##, and proper radius...

In chapter 10 (Radiation; just after example 2 from 'Radiation from an arbitrary source') of Introduction to Electrodynamics by G. Griffiths he asserts that a charged sphere with oscillating radius doesn't radiate because, by Gauss law, ##E## stays the same no matter where the charges are...
