pendulum and kinetic energy

Kinetic Energy - It is a matter of common experience that a fast moving stone can break a windowpane, falling water can rotate turbines and moving air can rotate windmills and propel sailboats. In all these examples, the moving body possesses energy. Work is done by th..

The figure shows a vibrating simple pendulum, O is the point of suspension. When the centre of gravity of the bob is vertically below the point of suspension, the position of the pendulum is called the rest position or mean position. Let us say that the bob is displaced to a po..

Energy - Energy is a number that we associate with a system of one or more objects. If a force acts on one of the objects, making it move, then the number changes. After countless experiments, scientists and engineers realised that if the scheme by which we assign these ene..

Momentum and Kinetic Energy - We know that all moving objects possess momentum. Momentum of the body is defined as the product of its mass and the velocity. Now let us see how kinetic energy of a body is related to its momentum. Consider a body of mass 'm' mo..

Translational Kinetic Energy of Gas - The total translational energy of all the molecules of the gas is the average kinetic energy of a molecule is from equation (v..

Kinetic Energy and Temperature - Let us consider one-gram molecule (mole) of the gas. Let M and V be its mass and volume respectively. The pressure exerted by the gas is given by: But PV = RT where T is the absolute temperature of the gas and R is the molar gas constant. R is th..
