    Balloon Cold
AI Thread Summary
When a balloon is stretched quickly, it experiences a temperature drop due to the rapid expansion of the rubber, which absorbs heat from its surroundings. This phenomenon is related to the principles of thermodynamics, specifically the ideal gas law and the behavior of materials under stress. Some users noted that while stretching the balloon causes it to cool, releasing it can generate heat. Richard Feynman discusses similar concepts in his educational content. Understanding these temperature changes in materials can deepen insights into physical properties and energy transfer.

I've observed it gets hot. When the rubber is released, it gets cold.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
