Conservative force - Any force which conserves mechanical energy‚ as opposed to a nonconservative force. See statement of conservation of mechanical energy. Conservative System - A system in which energy is conserved. Energy - The ability to do work. Kinetic Energy - The energy of motion. Nonconservative Force - Any force which does not conserve mechanical energy‚ as opposed to a conservative force. Path independence - Property of conservative forces which states that the work done

P1a 1.1 Thermal Radiation * Thermal or heat radiation is the transfer of energy by infra-red waves. * Thermal radiation is energy transfer by electromagnetic waves. * All objects emit thermal radiation. * The hotter an object‚ the more thermal radiation it emits. * Heat radiation can travel through a vacuum. 1.2 Surfaces and Radiation * Dark‚ matt surfaces are better emitters of thermal radiation than light‚ shiny surfaces. * Dark‚ matt surfaces

On January 23rd 1973 a new volcano unexpectedly erupted in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago‚ southwest of Iceland. The new volcano was a fissure 1.25 miles long and only 1100 yards from the center of town‚ also named Vestmannaeyjar. The new volcano was named Heimaey. The town was mostly evacuated over the next few days and the lava slowly flowed towards town and the mouth of the harbor for the next seven months. Vestmannaeyjar is the only good harbour in that part of Iceland‚ and was the base for a

Electricity has become the main sources of domestic energy in Australia over the last 200 years and played an important role in today’s society‚ industry . In the early time when the British started to settle in Australia‚ firewood was the most important fuel. In 1831‚ Michael Faraday put forward the electromagnetic induction‚ which led to the development of electric generators and made the large amount of electricity supply become possible. After 1879 when the perfect light globe was designed

Objective: To study the relationships between position‚ velocity‚ and time‚ with acceleration held constant‚ of an object moving in one-dimensional motion with minimum friction. A motion sensor will be used to measure various aspects of vector quantities. Description: An Air Track is positioned along the edge of the table. It is a long straight metal beam with many small holes that are roughly each 2mm in diameter. It is positioned at an angle to allow the gliders to glide down the slope

Experiment 10 – Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions. Enzymes‚ like all catalysts‚ speed up reactions without being used up themselves. They do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. All biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. Since enzymes are proteins‚ they can be denatured in a variety of ways‚ so they are most active under mild conditions. Most enzymes have optimum activity at a neutral pH and at body temperature. Enzymes are

Ideas about the solar system Our understanding of the solar system has changed over many centuries. Scientists such as Ptolemy‚ Copernicus and Galileo added their ideas to our changing understanding. We observe the universe using a variety of equipment‚ from telescopes to orbiters and landers. Models of the solar system The planets and the Sun orbit the Earth in Ptolemy’s model. Our understanding of the universe has changed over time. Different civilisations have created different models to
