RAD Definitions
Tid-bits...
"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:

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, unknown explanation for the method
of an action unexplained.
§Cause:
The name given any phenomena we call a Force,
that initiates a change of state 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.

and recreational purposes: the program includes lectures, concerts and etc... to entertain, inform, and edify.

by an electrically charged object, electrons in motion, a magnet; matter,
motion or mass.
Such fields are vector fields (electric, magnetic, or gravitational) or scalar
fields (as a potential field). A field is not an entity of matter.
§Force:
The named force causes, of pressure force
action that changes the state of matter.
§Heat:
The heat possessed by a body is the total
random motion ability to do work by virtue of its constituent
activity. Heat as light is the frequencies usually as infra-red, and

2. impetus.
3. Electric: surge in current or flow.
4. Short term of pressure brought to bear.

nature.
§Mass, At Rest:
The amount of resistance opposed to 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.
§Mass, Directional In Motion:
An amount of resistance required to stop the
motion of a body being accelerated in a
single direction through Space.
§Matter (... exactly what is matter__ is
unknown... (Refer to my web page on mass) so I will go with):
Any phenomenon having gravitational weight, and takes up space.
Commonly: anything that is kicked, that kicks back.
§Modern (referenced to physics):
A general term used to describe the electro-magnetic natural
philosophical trend of thought of a more recent period; propagated by the
discoveries and theories of people such as: Faraday, Maxwell, Einstein, Curie,
Heisenberg, Bohr, Planck, Hubble, Fermi, Feynman, and others to date...
§Metaphysics:
1. The branch of philosophy that deals with first

2. Speculative philosophy in general.
§Momentum:
For a fixed time frame, when force(s) are affected upon a body to alter
its state of rest or motion to result in a new state of rest or motion, and
this change is measured from whence and where it was forced, to its new point
of measurement is a vector line representation referred to as magnitude.
The phenomenon carrying, or allowing a body to move along this vector line is called the momentum.
It is just a name for a given measurement observation of a body moving per
Newton's law of once in motion, staying in motion...
§Paradox:
1. A statement contrary to common belief.
2. A statement that seems contradictory, unbelievable, or absurd, but that

describing physical volume space.
§Speed:
The ratio of a distance covered by a body to
the time taken. Speed is a scalar quantity, i.e. no direction is given.
Example: ten miles per hour. (Note speed is an average. You can go faster or
slower in any combination, as long as you travel only ten miles in one hour;
it is the same as if you went exactly ten miles per hour on your speedometer
for one hour, and did travel ten miles in one hour.)

is a measured ratio... One or more things in relation to another.
§Velocity:
