If you have ever heard the term thermal or heat energy, then you might understand its meaning. Thermal energy is the energy that is lost through the process of conduction. It is a kind of energy that can be derived from the environment. There are many practical applications of this kind of heat energy. This …

Electrical Energy is one of the most widely used forms of energy around us. Electrical Energy can be produced from a number of different sources and can be stored up in batteries or fed into the electrical grid of a country. This is a very important source of energy which is both reliable and sustainable. …
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 …
Oscillations, as we all know, are the motion of a wave that is repeated many times over a period of time. It can be used in many different fields such as mechanics, thermodynamics and energy. But what makes them so powerful is their simple harmonic motion. A simple harmonic motion is one which has an …
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 …
Straight Line Motion – How Does it Work? What Is Its Definition? Answer and Explanations: In straight line motion the velocity changes linearly with the angle of rotation. The resultant force is always equal to the force of acceleration times the square of the tangent. B) When the angle of rotation is a right angle …
There are many things that we know about thermal properties of solids, liquids and gases. The knowledge gained over a period of time is incredible. Once understood, these concepts form the foundation of thermal insulation, heat transfer, mechanical and electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. These are 2 technical terms that need to be understood very …
To describe motion in plane and 3D space, you would require use of scalars to describe the underlying physical quantities. Thus, first necessary to know the language of scalars is to know the units of measurement for measuring angles, both local and global. Also, it’s necessary to understand the concept of dot product of angle …
