For example, the section <a href="/wiki/Kinetic_energy#Derivation" title="Kinetic energy">Kinetic energy#Derivation</a> says "Since this is a total differential (that is, it only depends on the final state, not how the particle got there), we can integrate it and call the result kinetic energy". So kinetic energy is an integral of motion, but not usually a constant of motion. <a href="/wiki/User:JRSpriggs" title="User:JRSpriggs">JRSpriggs</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:JRSpriggs" title="User talk:JRSpriggs">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics/Archive_February_2009#c-JRSpriggs-2009-01-31T08:37:00.000Z-Eldereft-2009-01-30T13:41:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-JRSpriggs-2009-01-31T08:37:00.000Z-Eldereft-2009-01-30T13:41:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-JRSpriggs-2009-01-31T08:37:00.000Z-Eldereft-2009-01-30T13:41:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TimothyRias-2009-02-02T06:43:00.000Z-JRSpriggs-2009-01-31T08:37:00.000Z"></span>Well, that is not what <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/IntegralofMotion.html">mathworld</a> says, nor is it the way that I have seen the term used.

I come to this from a flying perspective, and I know that some planes are fitted with a 'g' readout. On the ground this definitely reads +1.0 g, and also when flying level. Pull back the stick in a turn and the number increases. If you push forward on the stick it decreases. Push too hard and it will go to 0.0 g, meaning you are in a ballistic parabola downwards. Push even further (not commonly done on purpose) and it will go to negative values. Is there any way this simple, real-world understanding can be a good addition to the article?

That is, not the weight of the accelerometer, but the reaction to that weight. <a href="/wiki/User:JRSpriggs" title="User:JRSpriggs">JRSpriggs</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:JRSpriggs" title="User talk:JRSpriggs">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics/Archive_February_2009#c-JRSpriggs-2009-01-22T10:25:00.000Z-John-2009-01-21T14:14:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-JRSpriggs-2009-01-22T10:25:00.000Z-John-2009-01-21T14:14:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-JRSpriggs-2009-01-22T10:25:00.000Z-John-2009-01-21T14:14:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Wolfkeeper-2009-01-22T22:36:00.000Z-JRSpriggs-2009-01-22T10:25:00.000Z"></span>Yeah, and accelerometers can't measure <i>any</i> <a href="/wiki/Fictitious_force" title="Fictitious force">fictitious force</a>(acceleration), including <a href="/wiki/Centrifugal_force" title="Centrifugal force">centrifugal force</a>/acceleration or <a href="/wiki/Coriolis_force" title="Coriolis force">coriolis force</a>/accelerations.

Such confusion! If it is an <i>accelerometer</i>, then it should measure acceleration, period. Not force. And how on earth could it distinguish between acceleration due to gravity and acceleration due to some other force? Surely the only way it can do this is by calibration: you calibrate it to read 0 when at rest w.r.t the Earth. Or, as in the airplane example given above, calibrate it to read 1.0g when at rest w.r.t. the Earth. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/67.95.202.34" title="Special:Contributions/67.95.202.34">67.95.202.34</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:67.95.202.34&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:67.95.202.34 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics/Archive_February_2009#c-67.95.202.34-2009-02-07T04:47:00.000Z-Einstein,_acceleration_and_g-forces" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:47, 7 February 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-67.95.202.34-2009-02-07T04:47:00.000Z-Einstein,_acceleration_and_g-forces"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-67.95.202.34-2009-02-07T04:47:00.000Z-Einstein,_acceleration_and_g-forces"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="GHZ_experiment" data-mw-thread-id="h-GHZ_experiment-2009-02-06T00:44:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-GHZ_experiment-2009-02-06T00:44:00.000Z"></span><a href="/wiki/GHZ_experiment" class="mw-redirect" title="GHZ experiment">GHZ experiment</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-GHZ_experiment-2009-02-06T00:44:00.000Z"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-69.255.193.52-2009-02-06T00:44:00.000Z-GHZ_experiment"></span>I just added a section to this article, based on the original paper by Greenberger, Horne, Shimony, and Zeilinger.

Bosonic matter also occupies space. Think of an empty box. Now keep the box's walls at a constant temperature. the box fills up with electromagnetic radiation (a bosonic fluid). That radiation will apply pressure on the walls, will have a temperature, will occupy a volume, will obey an equation of state, etc. If you now compress the box, the temperature and pressure of the radiation will increase according to the radiation's equation of state and the first law of thermodynamic (you are doing work on the system).

But that's just the <a href="/wiki/Uncertainty_principle" title="Uncertainty principle">Uncertainty principle</a>, which applies to all particles, even massless ones. Yet the colloquial meanings of "takes up space" and "occupies space" are not quite the same. And bosonic matter does not <b> <i>exclude</i> </b> other matter from its space. I think that is what was meant when the authors of my high school physics text wrote that "matter has mass and takes up space", even though they likely did not really have the exclusion principle in mind. (I was troubled by that statement at the time, knowing that atoms are nearly "empty".) But without the exclusion principle, I suppose the Earth would be smaller than an atom—and thus a black hole.

See proposal page at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Wikiproject_Organismal_Biomechanics" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals">Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Wikiproject_Organismal_Biomechanics</a>. I'll keep anyone who signs up updated via their userpages until I get a project page made. Help of all kinds is appreciated, from brain dumps to wikifying, grammar and dealing with references. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Mokele&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Mokele (page does not exist)">Mokele</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mokele&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Mokele (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics/Archive_February_2009#c-Mokele-2009-02-28T22:38:00.000Z-Proposed_project_of_interest_-_organismal_biomechanics" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:38, 28 February 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mokele-2009-02-28T22:38:00.000Z-Proposed_project_of_interest_-_organismal_biomechanics"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mokele-2009-02-28T22:38:00.000Z-Proposed_project_of_interest_-_organismal_biomechanics"></span> </p> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><i>Principles of Physical Cosomology</i>, ch. 26</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-2">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">"Experimental Challenges Posed by the General Theory of Relativity," in <i>Some Strangeness in the Proportion</i>, Section IV, 8</span> </li> </ol></div>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?useformat=desktop&type=1x1&usesul3=0" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics/Archive_February_2009&oldid=1083186599">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Physics/Archive_February_2009&oldid=1083186599</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks catlinks-allhidden" data-mw="interface"></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 17 April 2022, at 15:09<span class="anonymous-show"> (UTC)</span>.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_4.0_International_License" title="Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License</a>; additional terms may apply.
