What is the metric tensor?
How can this be a covariant and contravariant tensor, or a mixed tensor, by raising and lowering indices?
How it relates to distance function (metric) and angles?
How does it transport basis vectors from one coordinate system to another?
How is it different from the field tensor, Riemann curvature tensor and Ricci curvature tensor?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?
I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...

It is always told as a fact without explaining the reason. Why do two objects get charged by rubbing? Why one object get negative charge and...

Consider a gun or rifle fired directly upwards. My original question was what speed would be required to escape the Earth. The escape veloci...
