How does radioactive decay affect material properties?

If I leave a bar of a radioactive material (e.g. uranium-235) for its half-life time, how will the bar look after halving its mass?Will it:stay the same size, but...

Potential in the x-y plane for an uncharged metal sphere kept in an external field pointing in the $hat{z}$ direction

Example 3.8: An uncharged metal sphere of radius R is placed in an otherwise uniform electric field $vec{E} = E_o hat{z}$. The field will push the positive charge to...

Work done by the piston versus work done by the surrounding, but, the gas in the piston changes isothermally

Another similar stack assumes the absence of the mass and the friction of the piston, but makes no specification regarding the change in temperature in the syringe.Here, we...

Does ∇⋅τ = μΔv in the Cauchy Momentum Equation?

I find two versions of the Cauchy momentum equation (1, 2):$$rho frac{Dvec{v}}{Dt}=rhovec{g} - nabla{p} + munabla^2vec{v}$$$$rho frac{Dvec{v}}{Dt}=rhovec{g}...

Variation of the Ricci tensor "squared" and antisymmetrization of the derivatives

I'm dealing with some extension of GR, with action: $S=int d^4xBig[sqrt{-g} f(R,R_{munu}R^{munu})$ Varying this action gives: $delta S=int d^4xBig[deltasqrt{-g} f(R,R_{munu}R^{munu})+sqrt{-g} (delta R f_R+ delta(R_{munu}R^{munu})f_Y)$where $Y=R_{munu}R^{munu}$ and...

Why can't quantum tunnelling carry energy or information faster than light?

A few experimenters have at one time or another claimed that quantum tunnelling allows the transfer of information or energy at superluminal speeds. One was the idea that music was...
