maxwell law of molecular velocities

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 A impart an average force equal to on B and..

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 thermodynamics, as follows: It is impossible for any s..

The mathematical representation of Newton's second law of motion is If F = 0 i.e., in the absence of an external force the acceleration of the object will be zero, which means that the object will either move with uniform velocity or is at rest. This is Newton's first ..

. Suppose the dancer is rotating with her legs and arms stretched outward and if she suddenly folds her arms and brings her stretched legs closer, thereby reducing the moment of inertia, her angular velocity increases due to conservation of angular momentum. An incredible shrinking of a s..

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 universe. According to Newton's third law of motion to eve..

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 ..

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..

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 the law is an approximate one, it conveys a very im..

Galileo Galilee (1564-1642), a great Italian scientist raised a number of questions about the action of forces on a body with respect to the motion of the body. He performed various experiments and answered those questions by studying the results of his experiments. Aristotle, a Greek philosop..
