Work, Energy, and Power

Kinetic energy is the energy-related to motion. This is an energy that a particle or an object has because of its motion. An object speeds up and gains kinetic energy when work is done on an object, and the energy gets transferred to this object, and a net force is applied. The motion may be […]

Introduction The internal combustion engine is a type of engine in which fuel is burned in a restricted region known as a combustion chamber. This exothermic reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer produces high-temperature, high-pressure gases that are allowed to expand. The defining characteristic of an internal combustion engine is that meaningful work is

Energy is a scalar quantity. The amount of energy stored in an object decides its capacity to work. Therefore, we have different types of energies in the form of potential energy, kinetic energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, mechanical energy, solar energy, etc. Speaking of mechanical energy, it is a sum of the potential as well

Kinetic Energy is the energy stored in a body due to its motion. When work is done on a body, i.e., a force is applied, the body moves, and the net force is transferred to the body as Kinetic Energy. The Kinetic Energy of a body depends upon factors such as the body’s mass and

A spring is practically present in most mechanical parts of human routines, from automotive shock absorbers to household gadgets. Springs are used because of their capacity to stretch and return to their original state. When a spring is subjected to bending, it generates a repulsive force. When it detracts from its central axis, it tends

If there is a need to move an object or we can say that if we have to put any object in motion, we will have to apply the force on the object so that it will accelerate. And to apply the force we will have to do some work, while doing the work some

The disruption and quantification of the intermolecular bonds that is observed when a surface is created is defined as surface energy. In simpler terms it is defined as the work done per unit area by the force during the creation of a new surface. Mathematically, the surface energy is the work done per unit area

The breaking of intermolecular connections that happens when a surface is formed is quantified by interfacial free energy or surface energy. Surfaces must be axiomatically less energetically favourable than the bulk of the material (the molecules which appear on the surface possess greater energy in comparison to the molecules present in the bulk of material)in

Introduction Power is the quantity of transferred energy in physics.  Unit of  power is the watt, which is equal to one joule per second. Earlier, work was often called power activity. Power can be expressed as a scalar quantity. A vehicle’s velocity and traction force are what determine the power required to move it on

What is potential energy? Potential energy and kinetic energy are the two forms of energy. Potential energy is the energy stored in a system that depends on the various parts included in the system. Or, we can say that the potential energy of an object is energy stored due to the role of the object. In the state
