A linear accelerator accelerates charged particles in a straight line, with the largest being 3.2 km long and capable of 50 GeV energy. It uses the Faraday Cage Effect but faces limitations.

Constraints, holonomic and scleronomic, are equations limiting particle movement, solving which involves connecting equations and forces, with system degrees of freedom determining compatible configuration.

Non-conventional energy sources like tides, waves, and solar energy are expected to significantly contribute to future energy demand, offering long-lasting, low-cost solutions for powering satellites.

Terminal velocity, discovered by Galileo, is the maximum speed an object can descend through a liquid, determined by mass, gravity, density, range, and drag coefficient.

The scalar product of vectors A and B is a distributive property used in vector theory for projection, triple product calculation, and angle determination.

The resolution of vectors involves replacing a vector with components, producing more accurate findings through the analytical method of vector addition.

Equilibrium is the state where opposing influences cancel out, with three types: static, dynamic, and stable. Static equilibrium remains constant, dynamic equilibrium fluctuates, and unstable equilibrium drifts away.

Sound is a mechanical wave that travels through air, water, or solids, producing vibrations our ears detect. It is audible in solids, slightly slower in liquids, and slowest in gases.

Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It is made up of photons, which are discrete packets of energy that can have both wave-like and particle-like properties.

Heat transfers kinetic energy between mediums through conductive, convective, and radiative modes, originating from various sources.

Plasma, the fourth state of matter, forms when gas is exposed to high temperatures or electromagnetic fields, ionizing atoms and molecules.
