AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the relationship between low pressure systems and their amplitude in relation to height. It notes that when a low pressure system is colder than its surroundings, the amplitude of the pressure anomaly tends to increase with height. Participants seek clarification on the underlying reasons for this phenomenon. The conversation highlights a need for a more specific inquiry to better address the question. Understanding this relationship is crucial for meteorological analysis.

Hi,
I have a question regarding the low pressure system..

if a low pressure system is colder than its surroundings, the amplitude of the pressure anomaly increases with height ?! I need to know why

Hmmm...I'm not quite sure what your question is...can you be a little more specific?

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...
