water can rotate turbines and moving air can rotate windmills and propel sailboats. In all these
examples, the moving body possesses energy. Work is done by the body in motion. This type of
energy possessed by moving objects, is known as kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. Kinetic
energy is represented by the letter 'T'. All moving objects possess kinetic energy.
The unit of pressure in the SI system is the pascal (Pa), defined as a force of
one Newton per square meter. The conversion between atm, Pa, and torr is
as follows: 1 atm = 101325 Pa = 760 torr.
Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object
per unit area over which that force is distributed. Gauge pressure(also
spelled gage pressure)[a] is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient
pressure.
The law of conservation of energy states that "in a closed system, the total amount of
energy always remains constant, because it can neither be created nor be destroyed."
et us explain the law of conservation of energy for a free falling object from a height 'h'
Stage 1
Let the object be placed at a position of 'h' meters above the ground level.
Potential energy at height 'h' = mgh
Kinetic energy of the object = 1/2 mv2 = 0 ( as the object is in rest V=0)
Total energy of the object = mgh + 0 = mgh
Stage 2
Let the object travel to a distance of 'x' to reach the position of (h-x)
Potential energy of the object = mg(h-x) (because the new height is h-x)
may not displace particles of the mediumthat is, with little or no associated
mass transport.
There are two main types of waves. Mechanical waves propagate through a medium,
and the substance of this medium is deformed. The deformation reverses itself owing
to restoring forces resulting from its deformation. For example, sound waves propagate
via air molecules colliding with their neighbors. When air molecules collide, they also
bounce away from each other (a restoring force). This keeps the molecules from
continuing to travel in the direction of the wave.
The second main type of wave, electromagnetic waves, do not require a medium.
Instead, they consist of periodic oscillations of electrical and magnetic fields originally
generated by charged particles, and can therefore travel through avacuum. These types
of waves vary in wavelength, and include radio waves, microwaves, infrared
radiation, visible light,ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
The sound board operates by the principle of forced vibration. The string gently vibrates
the board, and despite their differences in size and composition, makes the board
vibrate at exactly the same frequency. This produces the same sound as the string
alone, differing only in timbre. The string would produce the same amount of energy
without the board present, but the greater surface area of the sound board moves a
greater volume of air, which produces a louder sound.
