In physics, a wave motion is described as rapidly accelerating if its momentum is higher than the total displacement it moves. There are several methods to measure the speed and direction of wave motion. The velocity of an object can be determined in terms of its derivative with time. This method is used to evaluate …
Superheated water is not a new technology, but it has recently become popular for residential properties. It has several advantages over traditional water-heated systems. The biggest is that the unit requires far less maintenance than traditional boilers because it operates on water pressure and does not require gas or oil to fuel it. It also …
A system of measurement is basically a set of rules and units of measurement relating them to one another. Such systems of measurement in common use include the metric system, the International System of Units (IMU) and the British unit system. The most common of these systems of measurement are the SI units of measurement, …
Theories based on the kinetic energy of particles exist in all modern science and engineering. The question is, “Why?” Is it because of the limited understanding of matter as a wave, a particle or a wave function? Or is it because of the mysteries of the atomic and molecular structure of matter? Many scientists are …
Important Ratios defining Mechanical Properties of Solids: Elastic Behavior of Solids Tension Elastic deformation and tensile strength, strain-time curves, static compression and tensile strength. We will study the properties of solids with reference to different tensile strengths, changes in compressibility, creep resistance, mechanical properties of solids, elastic modulus, stress-strain relationship, and tensile strength. This chapter …
Newton’s laws of motion are classified as universal laws, which admit of no exceptions. In addition to these laws there are three other laws of motion that are considered to be more important than the others. These include kinetic energy, potential energy and the conservation of momentum. Let’s see what these laws of motion tell …

Work Energy Power or WEP is the energy a system uses to do work and convert it to mechanical power. Kinetic Energy, also known as Work Energy, is energy that a system must work to produce a measurable amount of motion. The measurement of power is the sum of all the components of work or …
The theory of the System of Particles Motion can be described as a mathematical description of the motion of any elastic deformation. The particles are termed as “interaction” and these interactions can take place at many levels of elasticity. The first law of this theory is that every system has a definite shape. This shape …
The concept of angular momentum transfer from a body due to rotation is called the principle of moments. A number of rotating particles will always result in the creation of momentum i.e. torque or centrifugal force. This creates a net force that acts in a direction that is parallel to the motion of the particles. …

The definition of work-energy and power is a complex subject that involves many different forms of measurement. This formula is often used by engineers, mechanics, and others who study the ways in which energy can be transformed from one form to another. The basic equation is: Work = Force x Distance. This means that a …
