Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) achieved the first direct laboratory observation of ion acceleration through reflection off laser-generated magnetized ...

The normal component of acceleration is known as the “centripetal” component. It is proportional to the square of the speed, and inversely proportional to the radius of curvature of the path. The ...

Displacement close displacementA distance measured in a specified direction. is the distance moved in a straight line, in a given direction, from the starting point. Displacement = 24 m east. Velocity ...

Cams convert ordinary shaft rotation into a more complicated pattern of motion. Learn about the two subtypes. Cams convert ordinary shaft rotation into a more complicated pattern of motion. This is ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The results of a three-dimensional coupled rigid body and control system dynamic analysis are presented for a backhoe mechanism. The results ...

A recent study published in National Science Review analyzes a new type of solar energetic particle event with faster particles arriving later than slower ones. The analysis of such events reveals ...

Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...
