Presumably you're okay with the intermediate step $$\int 2\vec h\cdot \vec r_\text{cm} dm = 2\int \vec h\cdot \vec r_\text{cm} dm \tag1$$ since the number two is a constant, and integration is linear over a constant. The authors assert that $\vec h$ is also constant, so it comes out as well. If it's motion of the dot product across the integral sign ...

The derivation is not correct. The mass within the control volume is $\rho A\Delta x$. The rate of energy accumulation within the control volume is $\rho A\Delta xC\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}$. So the heat balance should be:$$\rho A\Delta xC\frac{\partial T}{\partial t}=Q_x-Q_{x+\Delta x}$$Dividing by $\Delta x$ and taking the limit as $\Delta x$ ...

For a force to do work, it must act upon an object as that object moves some distance (with a component along or opposed to the direction of that force). Holding an object stationary, but carrying the strength of a given force, adds no more work done. Because of this, we say that $$W=\int_C\vec{F}\cdot d\vec{r}$$ where C is the curve in space along which ...

This is because $P(t)$ as stated is the instantaneous power as a function of time and $W =\mathbf F\Delta \mathbf x$ holds only for constant forces. More generally, recall that a definition of work is the integral: $$W = \int_C\mathbf F(x)\mathrm d\mathbf x$$ Where $C = C(x,t)$ is some curve in space/time. Expressing in terms of time gives: W = ...

The (Lie-)group $U(1)$ is the topological space $S^1$ (what we call a circle together with its standard open subsets) together with a rule how to multiply its points. In its representation as numbers in ${\mathbb C}$ with absolute value $1$, we have \${\mathrm e}^{{\mathrm i}\alpha}\bullet{\mathrm e}^{{\mathrm i}\beta}:={\mathrm e}^{{\mathrm ...
