Boltzmann's kinetic theory of gases seemed to presuppose the reality of atoms and molecules, but almost all German philosophers and many scientists like Ernst Mach and the physical chemist Wilhelm Ostwald disbelieved their existence.
This movement around 1900 deeply depressed Boltzmann since it could mean the end of his kinetic theory and statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.
Boltzmann's most important scientific contributions were in kinetic theory, including the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution for molecular speeds in a gas.
The decrease of angular momentum is transferred as kinetic energy to the outer vortex, resulting in separated flows of hot and cold gas.

fluid dynamics, kinetic theory and quantum fluids.
On the Earth, temperature is defined in terms of the kinetic activity of the surrounding atmosphere.

Discussing the work "Lift Off", Black stated: “The sculpture appears kinetic as one passes by – reflecting the spirit and vibrancy of the new neighborhood,".
He used momentum, rather than the kinetic energy on which the later established theory is based, as it seemed to him to avoid some difficulties around whether elastic collisions were possible between indivisible atoms.
In 1836, he published a calculation of the mean molecular speed in a gas based on his kinetic theory and hence the speed of sound.
John James Waterston was another contemporaneous Scottish physicist who also worked on the kinetic theory, and whose work was also neglected at the time.
"Kinetic activity" as a buzzword for combat, in use since the inception of the War on Terror, has been criticized as a don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy for murder.
When Polaris recovers, the Flash gives him a bit of his speed, which has the same effect as applying kinetic energy to a magnet; Doctor Polaris' body attracts the remains of the sunken "Aurora Borealis", containing him.
In chemistry, nuclear physics, and particle physics, inelastic scattering is a fundamental scattering process in which the kinetic energy of an incident particle is not conserved (in contrast to elastic scattering).
Although the term is historically related to the concept of inelastic collision in dynamics, the two concepts are quite distinct; the latter refers to processes in which the "total" kinetic energy is not conserved.
There is a transfer of energy between the translational mode (kinetic energy) and rotational and vibrational modes.
There is no kinetic data available for these reactions as the entire reaction is not verified nor well understood.
Lau later became a record executive with a Sire Records subsidiary known as Kinetic, a label specializing in indie dance music.
Its published results did much to bring about general acceptance of Joule's work and the kinetic theory.
Light sculpture and moving sculpture are the components of his "Light-Space Modulator" (1922–30), which is one of the first light art pieces which also incorporates kinetic art.
To quote Planck, "the logarithmic connection between entropy and probability was first stated by L. Boltzmann in his kinetic theory of gases."
Paradoxically, this leads to situation when a kinetic armor-piercing projectile is "more" usable at long ranges than a HEAT projectile, despite the latter having a "higher" armor penetration.
Such a symmetry will not forbid Higgs kinetic terms like formula_7 or tachyonic mass terms like formula_8 or self-coupling terms like formula_9 (fortunately!)
These modes of locomotion typically require an animal start from a raised location, converting that potential energy into kinetic energy and using aerodynamic forces to control trajectory and angle of descent.
However, glucokinase is coded by a separate gene and its distinctive kinetic properties allow it to serve a different set of functions.
Two important kinetic properties distinguish glucokinase from the other hexokinases, allowing it to function in a special role as glucose sensor.
Because of this cooperativity, the kinetic interaction of glucokinase with glucose does not follow classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
The two isoforms have the same kinetic and functional characteristics.
Though Rumford was to come to associate heat with motion, there is no evidence that he was committed to the kinetic theory or the principle of "vis viva".
Joule's more exact measurements were pivotal in establishing the kinetic theory at the expense of caloric.
