Types of Energy Transformations

Energy is the ability to perform the necessary task. Plants and living organisms require energy for their reproduction and survival. The sun is the most crucial energy source, but all living beings cannot utilise solar energy directly. The conversion of energy is significant for proper utilisation to support life’s activities.  Plants use the process of […]

Solar Cooker

A solar cooker is a device that cooks food by employing the energy generated by the Sun, i.e. solar radiation. Cooking vegetables, meat, and rice on stoves and ovens is common. We can prepare the same meal with a solar cooker, except using gas or electricity, we may use a naturally available resource: sunlight. It

Potential Energy Spring

Whenever we compress or lengthen a stretched spring, we experience a force equivalent to the force we apply in the opposite direction. However, as soon as the stress is relieved, the spring returns to its original shape. The spring potential energy is what it’s called. Potential Energy of a Spring A spring can be found

Nuclear fission and fusion

If the core of a substantial particle, uranium, retains a neutron, the core can become unsound and parted. This is called Nuclear Fission. Splitting delivers energy as hotness. Even though splitting can usually happen, parting as experienced in the advanced world is typically a purposeful manufactured atomic response. Normal parting occasions discharge around 200,000,000 eV

Mass-Energy Relation

Before special relativity, mass and energy were considered separate things in theoretical approaches. The mass-energy relation, E = mc2, is an equation in Albert Einstein’s special relativity theory that states that mass and energy are the same physical objects that may be converted into one another. The energy (E) of a body is equal to

Mass Defect

Before special relativity, mass and energy were considered separate things in theoretical approaches. The mass-energy relation, E = mc2, is an equation in Albert Einstein’s particular relativity theory that states that mass and energy are the same and that they may be converted into one another. The kinetic energy (E) of a body is equal

Law of Conservation of Energy

As per the  law of conservation of energy, the states of energy cannot be created or destroyed, but they can only be changed from one form to another. It is an important physical law in chemistry, used in multiple applications. Energy is vital for doing work, and in living organisms, energy is provided by sunlight.

Heat Engine Efficiency

A heat engine is a machine that transforms thermal energy into mechanical work. Internal combustion engines, jet engines and steam turbines are some examples of heat engines. Heat is used by all of these engines to produce useful mechanical work. In this article, we will explore the heat engine efficiency and questions related to heat

Fission Processes

Introduction The nucleus of an atom splits into two lighter nuclei during nuclear fission. In some cases, the process occurs spontaneously, while in others, it is induced by excitation of the nucleus with a variety of particles (e.g., neutrons, protons, deuterons, or alpha particles) or electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays. A large
