Describe an object that has a lot of kinetic energy, but not very much mass. A 15 kg mass is traveling at 3 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the mass have? What speed of the kinetic energy of a particle will equal its rest energy? At what speed does the kinetic energy of particl...
we first clarify the meaning of "heat": Thermal energy (heat) is defined as the sum of kiic energy and potential energy of random motion of particles in the reference frame of their center of mass. Therefore thermal energy (heat) is just another way to describe the kiic energ...
What is the difference between kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE)? Discuss how potential energy, kinetic energy, and work are all related to each other. Explain why the equation to calculate kinetic energy is not the same as the equation to calculate potential energy nor the same ...
Use kinetic molecular theory to explain how kinetic energy is exchanged. How do the allowed orbits for electrons in atoms differ from the allowed orbits for planets around the sun? Explain how the correspondence principle applies here. Describe how the electric current moves through the simple circu...
Electron volts are a common unit of measurement in particle physics to describe the potential energy of the system and balance conservation of energy. We might talk about the rest mass or momentum of protons, neutrons, muons, pions, or electrons using electron volts. ...
While kinetic energy and momentum are used to describe the erosivity of rainfall, and both are derived from mass and velocity of raindrops, it is not clear how different substrates transform this energy. In our study we conducted rainfall simulation experiments to determine splash detachment amount...
The positions of constituent atoms in diboron B2 molecule are convenient to describe with respect to a coordinate system, the origin of which coincides with one of atoms and the z -axis is directed along the B–B chemical bond with length of a (Figure 1). Figure 1. Positions of constituen...
When one object attracted or repelled the other, he coined the term "electric" to describe the forces at work. He said these forces developed because the rubbing action removed a fluid, or "humour," from one of the objects, leaving an "effluvium," or atmosphere, around it. This concept...
Elastane is the most technically correct term used to describe these polyether-polyurea copolymer fabrics. Spandex: Despite the persistence of a common misconception, spandex is not a registered trademark of any company. Instead, it is the term that DuPont originally used to describe their poly...
