kinetics mechanism

Introduction - Processes by which substances are transformed to one or several products are called chemical reactions. Chemical processes that occur in the presence of light, like sunlight, are called photochemical reactions. These processes can occur naturally or under controlled conditions in the..

Illustration of Conservation of Mechanical Energy - Conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy: When a body falls from a certain height, its kinetic energy increase..

Conversion of gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy: When a body falls from a certain height, its kinetic energy increases. ..

We can see many situations in which energy is transferred to or from objects and systems, similar to money being transferred between accounts. In each situation, we assume that the energy that was involved can be accounted for, that is, energy cannot appear or disappear. Energy obeys the law of con..

There are different forms of energy like for example, mechanical energy, heat energy, electrical energy and chemical energy. In this chapter, we shall study about mechanical energy. Kinetic energy and potential energy are the two types of mechanical energ..

Energy can manifest itself in a number of forms. We have already seen that it can be in the form of mechanical energy, which is subdivided into kinetic energy and potential energ..

Question: Name two forms of mechanical energy. Answer: The two forms of mechanical energy are potential energy and kinetic energy..

Different Forms of Energy - Energy can manifest itself in a number of forms. We have already seen that it can be in the form of mechanical energy, which is subdivided into kinetic energy and potential energy. Potential energy can arise due to different causes. For instance, as w..

Kinetic energy of the body = 0 (Since the body is at rest, i.e., v = 0) Potential energy of the body = mgh. Therefore the total mechanical energy = mgh + 0 = ..

Flowing or moving air is called wind. By the virtue of this motion, the wind possesses kinetic energy. A windmill is used to make practical use of wind energy. The force of the wind rotates the blades of the windmill. Wind should flow continuously with certain minimum speed (say 20 km/ho..
