Based on the conservation of linear momentum, negative force can be generated without restrictions on the beam's shape, polarization, phase and so on. We note that optical forces and momentum ...

THE work of Compton on X-ray scattering led to the general acceptance of the idea that the scattering of radiation by a material particle is a unitary process in which energy and linear momentum ...

The recoil estimated by Varma and his coauthors results from a hallowed law in physics: the conservation of linear momentum. “A rifle kicks back because a bullet carries away momentum,” Varma explains ...

This rotation can be described as angular momentum, a conserved measure of its motion that cannot change. Conservation of angular momentum explains why an ice skater spins more rapidly as she ...

Momentum Newton’s Second Law of motion, Impulses Newton's Third Law of motion: Law of conservation of linear momentum and its applications. Equilibrium of concurrent forces Static and Kinetic ...

But a new study may have fundamentally challenged the law of the conservation of momentum - at least in curved space. Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the US have published ...
