A machine to a physicist is probably anything except a living animal which can be made to do work when controlled by a human.

What is the history and significance of the Hauksbee machine in the field of physics?

The Hauksbee machine, invented by Francis Hauksbee in the early 18th century, was one of the first devices to demonstrate electrostatic principles. It played a significant role in the development of early physics experiments and the understanding of electricity and magnetism. The machine generated static electricity through friction, leading to important discoveries in the field of physics.


What does AD stand for in physics?

Probably: The Antiproton Decelerator A machine to cool down antiprotons at the CERN physics laboratory.


Is a rolling ball a simple machine?

No, a rolling ball is not considered a simple machine. Simple machines are basic mechanical devices that help to make work easier, such as levers, pulleys, and inclined planes. A rolling ball does not fit the criteria of a simple machine as defined in physics.


Can we literally go back in time with a time machine?

The concept of time travel to the past is currently not supported by any empirical evidence or scientific theory. It remains a topic of speculation and fiction in the realm of physics. The laws of physics as we currently understand them do not provide a method for traveling back in time.


What applies to a real machine?

A real machine is a physical device that performs mechanical tasks in the physical world. It operates based on principles of physics and mechanics to convert inputs into outputs. Examples include cars, washing machines, and computers.

Will there there be a time machine?

In the Law of Physics, it is possible to have a time machine in the future, though you can not go back in time before the time machine was made.


How much physics knowledge do you need for medical school?

8 years worth (alternate answer) Doctors need to know a lot about chemistry, but not so much about physics. Still, there are aspects of medicine that involve physics, such as an MRI machine, a PET scanner, a CAT scanner, even an ordinary X ray machine. All of this involves nuclear physics. A radiologist would have to know a fair amount of physics. But not all specialties are involved with physics.

Which type of machine makes work easier by reducing work?

Using the strict Physics definition of 'work', there is no such thing as a machine that can reduce the amount of work required to do anything.


Is a machine physically possible that has an efficiency greater than 100 percent?

Not if the laws of physics - specifically thermodynamics - are correct.


Can virtual program with all physics and chemical formulas help to create time machine?

No. Not with the current understanding of science.
