First law and its applications

When the maximum kinetic energy of colliding objects/systems is lost, an inelastic collision occurs in physics. In a perfectly inelastic collision, the colliding particles stick together. In these cases, the kinetic energy lost is used to join the two bodies. The conservation of momentum and energy is commonly used to solve collision problems. What is […]

The harmonic progression or the harmonic sequence is acquired by picking the reciprocal of arithmetic progression terms. These terms are present in the following form; 1/a, 1/( a + d ), 1/( a + 2d ), 1/( a + 3d ), 1/( a + 4d ), 1/( a + 5d )…1/(a + ( n –

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. In other words, the total amount of energy for a closed system — such as Earth — remains constant. The first law of thermodynamics applies to all physical and chemical processes but not to nuclear operations. This is one of the

The word thermodynamics is the combination of therm and dynamics. The word “therm” stands for thermal. In simple words, thermal means heat. The word “dynamics” relates to the branch of mechanics. Thermodynamics states the relationship between heat, temperature, work, and energy. There are four laws of thermodynamics. However, this article will only cover the first

When a material undergoes loading, deformation takes place. This deformation may be elastic or plastic. So what is elastic and plastic deformation? If the body regains its shape and size after removal of deforming force then that deformation is called elastic deformation and the body is called elastic body. If it does not regain its

Introduction In contrast to an inelastic collision, when kinetic energy is lost during the collision, an elastic collision occurs when numerous objects collide and the overall kinetic energy of the system is preserved. The law of momentum conservation applies to all sorts of collisions. Most collisions in the real world result in the loss of

Bernoulli’s theorem deals with fluid dynamics and how the pressure of fluid changes depending on the velocity of flow. It was named after Daniel Bernoulli, a Swiss mathematician (1700-1782). Although Daniel Bernoulli discovered the principle, Leonard Euler was the one who developed it into the Bernoulli equation we use today.  The principle finds its applications

Introduction to AND Gate – AND gate is a type of logic gate where a logic gate is an electronic circuit that follows certain logical relations between the inputs and the outputs. It is a basic digital gate. The inputs and output only contain two values: ‘ 1’ or ‘0’, ‘high’ or ‘low’, ‘true’ or

In probability theory and statistics, Bayes Theorem (or Bayes’ Law or Bayes’ Rule) asserts that the likelihood of an event increases when previous information or knowledge of conditions is provided. Suppose cancer is linked to age, for example. In that case, Bayes’ theorem can be used to assess the chance that a person has cancer
