Finding constraints on acceleration if two objects' positions are related non-linearly

I'm taking a a first-quarter mechanics class at a university and we're currently covering Newton's laws of motion. The problems themselves are pretty similar to what I did in high...

Analogies between electrostatics and steady state heat equation?

In electrostatics we have $$nabla cdot E = rho/varepsilon$$and using the divergence theorem we get $$int_{partialOmega} E cdot hat{n} dS = int_Omega rho/varepsilon dV.$$ This states that the electric...

Spaceships connecting with spring (A deeply different version of Bell's spaceship paradox)

A very different version of Bell's spaceship paradox hit upon my mind for which I cannot find a convincing solution: Two stationary spaceships are connected with a spring as shown...

Why does low ionospheric conductance result in an increase in electric field?

So Anderson et al proposed a model to explain the production of Sub Auroral Ion Drifts. In the paper they talk about how the decrease in ionospheric...

How do generators of the Lie algebra correspond to gauge fields?

I’m tackling physics recreationally from a pure math perspective. Right now I’m looking at just the outline of gauge theory. The Wikipedia article explains that gauge fields correspond to generators...

Radius Four-Vector in Minkowski Spacetime

I noticed that coordinate systems $S,S'$ connected by a Lorentz transformation are depicted geometrically as having the same "origin event" $O$ in Minkowski spacetime. Is it correct then...

Lorentz surfaces, conformal metrics and eigenvalues

From what I understand of Lorentz surfaces (spacetimes of dimension 2), it seems that, according to Kulkarni's theorem, two reasonable enough Lorentz surfaces (I am only interested in...
