ballistic pendulumnounAn obsolete device for measuring a bullet's momentum, from which it is possible to calculate the velocity and kinetic energy.
simple harmonic motionnoun(mathematics, mechanics) oscillating motion (as of a pendulum) in which the acceleration of the oscillator has an equal magnitude but opposite direction to the displacement of it from the equilibrium position.
perpetual motion machinenoun(physics, pseudoscience, science fiction) A hypothetical, pseudoscientific device that exhibits perpetual motion, especially one that does useful work with no input of energy.
superstringnoun(computing) The string (sequence of text characters) that contains a substring.
perpetual motionnoun(physics) The motion of some hypothetical device that continues forever with no external input of energy, in violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
static equilibriumnoun(physics) Any system in which the sum of the forces, and torque, on each particle of the system is zero; mechanical equilibrium.

pilot wavenoun(physics) A theoretical matter wave that guides the motion of point particles.
dilatonnoun(physics) A particle, associated with gravity, in string theory.
weightnounThe downwards force an object experiences due to gravity.
