What is remarkable is that as famous as the energy-mass equivalence equation is, precious few know what it really means, which is too bad, because this concept is the pinnacle of special relativity for good reason.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Classical_Mechanics/7%3A_Gravitation/7.1%3A_Universal_GravitationWe now dig a little deeper into a fundamental force for which we have up to now only used a simplified model for motion near the surface of the earth.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9B_Lab/Lab_2%3A_Standing_WavesWe use the properties of standing wave harmonics and their associated traveling waves to experimentally determine the linear mass density of a string.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Classical_Mechanics/5%3A_Rotations_and_Rigid_Bodies/5.2%3A_Rotational_InertiaWith the basics of rotational motion and inertia now in hand, we take on the topic of dynamics. We do so by closely paralleling what we know from linear dynamics.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9C__Electricity_and_Magnetism/1%3A_Electrostatic_FieldsWe begin with a study of electric fields due to static charge distributions.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9B_Lab/Lab_9%3A_A_Heat_EngineWe extract work from an engine using two thermal reservoirs.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9C_Lab/Lab_8%3A_InductanceWe measure the voltage as a function of time through an inductor in a circuit with resistance, and use a best-fit graph to determine its inductance.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/Physics_9B_Fall_2020_Taufour/06%3A_Applications_of_ThermodynamicsHere we explore applications of thermodynamics, including what limitations the laws of thermodynamics impose on these applications.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/UCD%3A_Physics_9HA_Lab/06%3A_Momentum_and_ImpulseIn this lab we test the impulse-momentum theorem, and examine momentum and kinetic energy conservation in the context of various 1-dimensional collisions.
- https://phys.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_Davis/Physics_9B_Fall_2020_Taufour/01%3A_Waves/1.03%3A_Energy_TransmissionAll waves carry energy from one point in space to another. We will look at some general features of how this is accomplished, defining the concept of intensity along the way.

The percentage uncertainty in capacitances acceptable to the manufacturer that has hired you is fairly large – about 15%. Discuss whether the ratio you find is "correct" to within this tolerance You are strongly encouraged to refer back to the Read Me as you do this, to make sure that you are not leaving out anything important.
