Why bouncing droplets are a pretty good model
... In 2005, Couder, Protière, Fort and Badouad showed that oil droplets bouncing on a vibrating tray of oil can display nonlocal interactions reminiscent of the particle-wave associations in quantum mechanics; in particular they can move, attract, repel and orbit each other. Subsequent experimental wo ...

... To understand the second way of denoting vectors, we shall first learn the rules for vector addition and subtraction. Before we do this, I emphasise a general remmark, which should be apparent at this point. Vectors and scalars are different mathematical objects! It is impossible to put an equality ...

ELECTROSEISMIC WAVES FROM POINT SOURCES IN LAYERED
... When seismic waves propagate through a fluid saturated sedimentary material, the motion of the pore fluid to the solid matrix causes relative flow. The driving force for the relative flow is a combination of pressure gradients set up by the peaks and throughs of a compressional wave and by grain acc ...

Proposing a Classical Explanation of the EPR
... simply hadn’t been considered. That particle properties are caused to be what they are by interactions with massless bosons at the moment of a particle’s formation is such a premise (which bears certain similarities to but is not the same proposal as Bohm’s pilot-wave theory). If these two premises ...

Qualification Exam: Classical Mechanics
... Consider the motion of a rod, whose ends can slide freely on a smooth vertical circular ring, the ring being free to rotate about its vertical diameter, which is fixed. Let m be the mass of the rod and 2a its length; let M be the mass of the ring and r its radius; let θ be the inclination of the rod ...

... This means the force due to the spring is equal to the force by gravity and opposite in direction when the spring is stretched. • Hooke’s law states that increasing the weight by equal amounts increases the stretch of the spring by equal amount. Therefore, the force due to the spring must be proport ...
