Pascal’s Law and its Applications

According to Pascal’s Law, pressure applied to a fluid in a tightly sealed container is distributed evenly to all or any points within the fluid and acts in all directions. Pascal’s Law holds true for solids and liquids alike. Blaise Pascal, a French physicist and mathematician, proposed the law. When a fluid is at rest, […]

Overfishing

During the twentieth century, humans were expanding the exploitation of the ocean’s living resources. The increase in catches was caused by a deficit in resources, and overfishing is a popular practice characterised by the inefficiency of the production system. Overfishing is generally termed as an action of exerting fishing pressure beyond the agreed optimum level.

NOT Gate

The logic gate is an electronic circuit that follows a certain logical relation between the inputs and outputs. That is, it makes the logical decisions regarding the existence of outputs depending on the nature of inputs.  George Boolean (1815-1864), an English mathematician, had developed certain algebraic operations for dealing with the mathematical analysis of logic.

Magma and Lava

Volcano Eruption When components within the Earth, such as boiling lava, rocks, and dust, explode from a volcano, it is known as a volcanic eruption. An explosion could emerge from the volcano’s side branches or upper section. It could be dangerous if massive amounts of rock and volcanic ash erupt. These types of explosions kill

Logic gates (OR, AND, NOT, NAND and NOR)

The logic gate can be described as a device that functions as a building element to digital circuits. They carry out logical tasks, which are the foundation of digital circuits. Most electronic devices are equipped with at least one logic gate within their circuits. For instance, logic gates can be employed in technology like tablets,

Introduction to NOR Gate

A logic gate is an electronic circuit with two or more inputs but one output that occurs only for a certain combination of inputs. There are three basic logic gates: OR, AND, and NOT, which are considered as the basic building blocks of any logic circuit. By combining these gates, we can develop two combination

Inelastic Collisions

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

First law of thermodynamics for a closed system

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
