SECTION - V...  RAD Definitions

 

 

Tidbits...

"If you can't define something, what makes you think it exists?" 

"If you define it, you can't argue about it."

(I don't remember this statement's author)

    [The following are definitions I use to fit my outlook on physics... RAD]

 
§Acceleration:
A body is said to have positive acceleration if it is going faster and faster, or negative acceleration if going slower and slower (deceleration). And, any body moving in curvature is being accelerated.  This acceleration is whenever the body has a force cause, in action.  When the force action stops the acceleration stops.
§Affect:
To produce an effect.
§Alpha Wave:
The brain voltage frequency, around 10 cycles per second.  The frequency which dominates the brain wave spectrum.
§Assumption:
1. An opinion put forth that is unfounded, and has no basis to establish its validity.
2. Anything taken for granted based on common usage.
§Attraction:
An assumed explanation for the method of actions at a distance when two or more bodies come together, without it known how. . 
§Cause:
The name given any phenomena we call a Force, that initiates a change of state force action.
§Change of State:
Whenever a body or particle is accelerated with a differential of pressure as the action, of a named force that changes its configuration, manner, attributes, properties, or motion; whole or partially.

§Duration of Existence:
If anything exists, or existed in the Universe, such that it has or had a state of being that can or could be altered
; in an instant or in a progression; it is said to have existed for a duration that allowed its change of state. {If the changing of state was compared (measured), with any other state of the Universe... this measurement is called Time, by mankind.}.  Duration of Existence is not an entity, but is a condition of the Universe as being or have been... compared to a condition of never being, or an unknown condition of yet to be.

§Mass, At Rest:
(A pseudo measurement of inertia of a body of matter)
The measurement amount of resistance opposing an applied force from a single direction that accelerates the at rest state of a free floating body in space in a common frame of reference,  or the amount of resistance opposed to an applied force perpendicular to the direction of an accelerating free floating body in a common frame of reference. 
(Rev. 01-07-11)

:

    "Momentum: 1. A vector of motion of a mass, measured by the product of mass and velocity.  The cgs unit is one gram-centimeter per second.  A mass m moving with a velocity v has a momentum p = mv.  This expression is correct even at relativistic velocities. If a mass m has its velocity changed from v1 to v2 by the action of a constant force F for a time t; mv2 - mv1 = Ft.  2. The momentum of a photon is given by p = h/λ where h is Planck's constant; and λ is the wavelength in centimeters."  Enc. / Dict. of Electronics & Nuclear Engineering
