# Tags

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question.

 Type to find tags:
 flow× 218 The motion of fluids (gases, liquids and granular material). celestial-mechanics× 211 resonance× 209 free-body-diagram× 206 A pictorial device which analyzes forces present on any body with the use of vectors. Allows easier grasping of problems involving either objects at equilibrium or in motion. Can be used to predict pr… moment-of-inertia× 206 elasticity× 205 Questions related to the Continuum Mechanics Division of Elasticity. The bending of beams, deflection of rods, or in general, applications of Hooke's Law generalized to three dimensions. statics× 204 Analysis of a system of bodies where all forces are in balance and there is no motion relative to a chosen reference frame. crystals× 203 physical-constants× 202 lenses× 201 geophysics× 200 The study of the physical processes and properties of the planet Earth. Applicable to many subjects about Earth, such as its shape, its magnetic field, and ocean currents. particles× 200 dark-energy× 199 the unknown form of energy that drives the acceleration of the universe's expansion. hydrogen× 198 Could refer to (1) A hydrogen molecule; two hydrogen atoms bonded together or (2) A hydrogen atom; One electron electromagnetically interacting with a nucleus made of a single proton. Hydrogen atoms a… relative-motion× 194 quarks× 194 The quark model postulates that the hadrons such as protons and neutrons have an inner structure; quarks. wavelength× 194 electronics× 193 the study of electric circuits and electrical components, and the design of useful devices. Some questions in this tag may be more appropriate for the [Electrical Engineering(http://ele… geodesics× 191 For questions involving consideration of the shortest (or longest) path between two points in a curved space (e.g. a straight line between two points on the surface of a sphere such as the earth). fusion× 190 estimation× 190 discrete× 190 Discrete means as opposed to continuous. For, instance, people may ask questions about discrete electric charges, discrete spacetime, discrete energies, etc. If discretization is vital/essenti… coulombs-law× 189 A fundamental and empirical law quantifying the electrostatic force between two charges. centrifugal-force× 189 equilibrium× 188 popular-science× 188 must be answered in a manner that can be understood by a general audience with at most a basic understanding of physics, mathematics and related sciences. Apply it to questions w… eigenvalue× 187 error-analysis× 186 Techniques and methods for computing, estimating, or placing bounds on the errors of expressions (formulas) based on knowledge of error distributions, error intervals or bounds of variables and parame… buoyancy× 186 Use "buoyancy" for any question where an object is suspended or submerged in a fluid. Buoyant force is the force that acts upward on a partially or completely submerged object. rigid-body-dynamics× 184 The study of the movements of a collection of connected bodies subject to external forces in the absence of deformation. This tag should be used for questions on the analysis of 2D/3D dynamics of rigi… topological-field-theory× 182 for topological field theory (Tft) and topological string theory (tst) questions. molecules× 178 complex-numbers× 175 Numbers of the form $\{z= x+ i\,y:\;x,\, y\in\mathbb{R}\}$ where $i^2 = -1$. Useful especially as quantum mechanics, where system states take complex vector values. continuum-mechanics× 175 a branch of mechanics that deals with the analysis of the kinematics and the mechanical behavior of materials modeled as a continuous mass rather than as discrete particles. electronic-band-theory× 174 cmb× 174 the electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band which can be observed throughout the whole universe, not connected to any astronomical object. Its spectrum…
