PARTICLES IN SLOW MOTION

Motion of Particles under Pseudo-Deformation

In this short article, we observe that the path of particle of mass $m$ moving along $mathbf{r}= mathbf{r}(t)$ under pseudo-force $mathbf{A}(t)$, $t$ denotes the time, is given by $mathbf{r}_d= int(frac{dmathbf{r}}{dt} mathbf{A}(t)) dt +mathbf{c}$. We also observe that the effective force $mathbf{F}_e$ on that particle due to pseudo-force $mathbf{A}(t)$, is given by $ mathbf{F}_e= mathbf{F} mat...

Slow motion

Optogenetic stimulation of serotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe causes mice to move more slowly without causing any apparent motor deficits or anxiety-like effects.

The slow motion of slender rod-like particles in a second-order fluid

The motion of a slender axisymmetric rod-like particle is investigated theoretically for translation through a quiescent second-order fluid and for rotation in a simple shear flow of the same material. The analysis consists of an asymptotic expansion about the limit of rheologically slow flow, coupled with an application of a generalized form of the reciprocal theorem of Lorentz to calculate th...

Diffusion Approximation for Slow Motion

Slow motion increases perceived intent.

To determine the appropriate punishment for a harmful action, people must often make inferences about the transgressor's intent. In courtrooms and popular media, such inferences increasingly rely on video evidence, which is often played in "slow motion." Four experiments (n = 1,610) involving real surveillance footage from a murder or broadcast replays of violent contact in professional footbal...
