Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Ampere - Explanation

Because it is a base unit, the definition of the ampere is not tied to any other electrical unit. The definition for the ampere is equivalent to fixing a value of the permeability of vacuum to μ0 = 4π×10−7 H/m. Prior to 1948, the so-called "international ampere" was used, defined in terms of the electrolytic deposition rate of silver. The older unit is equal to 0.999 85 A. The ampere is most accurately realised using an ampere balance, but is in practice maintained via Ohm's Law from the uni ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Second - Explanation

The factor of 60 comes from the Babylonians who used factors of 60 in their counting system. The hour had previously been defined by the ancient Egyptians in terms of the rotation of the Earth as 1/24 of a solar day. This made the second 1/86,400 of a solar day. With the development of clocks keeping mean time (as opposed to the apparent time displayed by sundials), the second became 1/86,400 of a mean solar day. In 1956 the second was defined in terms of the period of revolution of the Earth around the Sun for a particu ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Right ascension - Explanation

RA is comparable to longitude, measured from a zero point known as the vernal equinox point. RA is measured in hours, minutes, and seconds. Being closely tied with sidereal time, it is both a unit of time and of angle. An hour of right ascension is equal to 15 degrees of arc, a minute of right ascension equal to 15 minutes of arc, and a second of right ascension equal to 15 seconds of arc. An alternative measure, used in navigation, is Sidereal Hour Angle. The main difference being that RA is m ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Green flash - Explanation

Its explanation lies in refraction of light (as in a prism) in the atmosphere and is enhanced by atmospheric layering. Whilst we would expect to see a blue light, the blue is dispersed (this is why the sky is blue) and only the green light remains visible. With slight magnification, a green rim on the top limb of the solar disk can be seen on most clear-day sunsets. However the flash or ray effects require a stronger layering of the atmosphere and a mirage which serves to magnify the green for a f ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Epiphenomenalism - Explanation

Imagine both Pierre and a robot eating a candy bar. It is widely believed that unlike the robot, Pierre is having the experience of eating a candy bar while he does so. This subjective experience is often called qualia, and it describes the conscious process of feeling an experience. Pierre and the robot can both be doing the same thing, but it is thought only Pierre has the qualia or experience. It is possible to describe eating the candy bar without having the qualia. In the early 1900's philosophical behaviourists began the a ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Disjoint sets - Explanation

Formally, two sets A and B are disjoint if their intersection is the empty set, i.e. if This definition extends to any collection of sets. A collection of sets is pairwise disjoint or mutually disjoint if any two distinct sets in the collection are disjoint. Formally, let I be an index set, and for each i in I, let Ai be a set. Then the family of sets {Ai : i ∈ I} is pairwise disjoint if for any i and j in I wit ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Watt-hour - Explanation

The watt hour is derived from the multiplication of the SI unit of power (watt) and the non-SI unit of time (hour). The kilowatt-hour is commonly used for electrical energy and natural gas energy. This may be because domestic appliances often quote power in kilowatts. Many electric utility companies use the kilowatt hour for billing. Megawatt-hours are used for metering of larger amounts of electrical energy. For example, a power plant's daily output is ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Temporal aliasing - Explanation

Consider the stroboscope as used in mechanical analysis. This is a "strobe light" that is fired at an adjustable rate. Suppose you are looking at something rotating at 60 revolutions per second: if you view it with a series of short flashes at 60 times per second, each flash illuminates the object at the same position in its rotational cycle, so it appears that the object is stationary. Furthermore, at a frequency of 60 flashes per second, persistence of vision smooths out the sequence of f ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Radian - Explanation

The radian is useful to distinguish between quantities of different nature but the same dimension. For example angular velocity can be measured in radians per second (rad/s). Retaining the word radian emphasizes that angular velocity is equal to 2π times the rotational frequency. In practice, the symbol rad is used where appropriate, but the derived unit "1" is generally omitted in combination with a numerical value. Angle measures in radians are often given without any explicit unit. When a unit is given, sometimes the symbol ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Snowplough turn - Explanation

The snowplough turn (also known as the wedge turn or stem turn) is a development of the stem technique, where the uphill ski is stemmed or pushing out from being parallel with the downhill ski to form a V shape. However, when executing a "stem turn" the skier's weight is shifted to the uphill ski and the downhill ski is rotated to become parallel with the uphill ski. Both techniques described below were included in Mathias Zdarsky's boo ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Tort conflict - Explanation

The presumptive choice of law rule for tort is that the proper law applies. This is the law that has the greatest relevance to the issues involved. In public policy terms, this is likely to be the law of the place of the where the key elements of the "wrong" were performed or occurred (the lex loci delicti). So if A is a pedestrian injured by B's negligent driving, the law of the state in which the injury is sustained has the best claim to be applied because, in public policy terms, the citizens of that state have a clear inter ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Epiphenomenalism - Explanation

Imagine both Pierre and a robot automaton eating a candy bar. Unlike the robot, Pierre is conscious of eating the candy bar while the behavior is under way. This subjective experience is often called a quale (plural qualia), and it describes the private "raw feel" or the subjective "what-it-is-like" that is the inner accompaniment of any observable behavior. Pierre and the robot can both be doing the same thing, but on ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Power factor - Explanation

In a purely resistive AC circuit, voltage and current waveforms are in step, changing polarity at the same instant in each cycle. Where reactive loads are present, such as capacitors or inductors, energy storage in the loads result in a time difference between the current and voltage waveforms. Since this stored energy returns to the source and is not available to do work at the load, a circuit with a low power factor will have higher currents to transfer a given quantity of po ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Grunger - Explanation

Grungers are not an organisation or other affiliation. Rather, they're a group of people connected by a common taste in music, clothes, shared interests, values, etc. Most are under 20, and in this was they can be compared to hippies or mods - however note the grungers are not similar in style to either of these earlier movements. Greebo is often used as an often derogatory synonym by people not involved with the culture: the original meaning of greebo stems from the bikers of the '70s and was used to describe particularly dirty bikers, though now i ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Lex patriae - Explanation

When a case comes before a court and all the main features of the case are local, the court will apply the lex fori, the prevailing municipal law, to decide the case. But if there are "foreign" elements to the case, the forum court may be obliged under the Conflict of Laws system to consider: whether the forum court has jurisdiction to hear the case (see the problem of forum shopping); it must then characterise the issues, i.e. allocate the factual basis of the case to its relevant legal classes; and then apply the choice of law rules to decide the lex causae, i.e. which ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Sequent - Explanation

A sequent has the form where both Γ and Σ are sequences of logical formulae (i.e., both the number and the order of the occurring formulae matter). The symbol is usually referred to as turnstile or tee and is often read, suggestively, as "yields" or "proves". It is not a symbol in the language, rather it is a symbol in the metalanguage used to discuss proofs. In a sequent, Γ is called the antecedent and Σ is s ...

Sovereignty comes into being through a process of recognition by the international community in which a de facto state is formally accepted as a de jure state and so becomes the legitimate government with territorial control over a defined area of land and all the people who reside within its borders. One of the most important sovereign powers of any government is to enact laws and to ...

Explanation: Encyclopedia II - Candela - Explanation

The frequency chosen is in the visible spectrum near green. The human eye is most sensitive to this frequency. At other frequencies, more radiant intensity is required to achieve the same luminous intensity, according to the frequency response of the human eye. (See luminosity function). A common candle emits about 1 cd. A 100 W lightbulb emits about 120 cd. Historically, the candela was a fundamental unit of the SI. It was defined in terms of the black-body radiation emitted by 1/60 of 1 cm2 of platinum at its melti ...
