maxwell law of molecular velocities

Law of Conservation of Momentum - Let two particles A and B collide with each other. Let be the initial and final velocities of particle 1 and similarly, for particle 2. Let the two particles be in contact for a time t. Change in momentum of A and B are During the collision, let..

Consider a particle A having linear momentum and radius vector with respect to the origin as given in the figure. After a time D t, the particle is at B and the radius vector becomes + D . The velocity of the particle has a radial component v r and an angular component v f ..

The Second Law of Thermodynamics - Experimental evidence suggests strongly that it is impossible to build a heat engine that converts heat completely to work (an engine with 100% thermal efficiency). This impossibility is the basis of one statement of the second law of thermodyn..

. The bottom block will sail out from under, and the rest of the stack will not be toppled but will drop down still in a pile. It is not immediately obvious that a body moving with uniform velocity in a straight line tends to go on moving forever without coming to rest. The fact is that n..

In a cricket match a fielder moves his arms back while trying to catch a cricket ball because if he tries to stop the fast moving ball suddenly then the speed decreases to zero in a very short time. Therefore the retardation of the ball will be very large. As a result the fielder has to apply a lar..

Newton's Third Law of Motion and Force of Gravitation - Is Newton's third law of motion applicable to gravitational force? Yes it is. Let us now see how Newton's third law of motion is applicable to the gravitational force existing between the various objects in the un..

Let us now see how Newton's third law of motion is applicable to the gravitational force existing between the various objects in the universe. According to Newton's third law of motion to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. That is, if a body A exerts a force ..

Motional e.m.f and Faraday's Law - Suppose a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane of paper point outward is represented in the region ABCD. A rectangular loop PQRS is pulled such that it moves with a velocity V as shown in the diagra..

Dulong and Petit Law (Specific Heat of Solids) - In 1819, two French physicists Dulong and Petit discovered that the average molar specific heat at constant pressure for all metals, except the very light ones, is approximately the same and equal to nearly 25 J mole -1 o C -1 . Although th..
