why study kinetics

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..

Water stored in a reservoir is capable of rotating turbines kept at a lower level. Water stored in a reservoir possesses energy by virtue of its position. A nail hit hard with a hammer gets fixed while if the hammer is just placed on the nail, the nail hardly moves. The hammer, which is raised..

Kinetic Friction - If the force applied on the body is greater than its limiting friction, then the body begins to slide. This is when we forget about static friction and consider kinetic or dynamic friction. Kinetic or dynamic friction comes to play when there is a re..

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 the body in motion. Th..

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motio..

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 the body in motion. This type of energy possessed..

A dancing or running man is said to be more energetic than a sleeping man. In physics, a moving particle is said to have a more energy than an identical particle at rest. Quantitatively, the energy of the moving particle is given by The kinetic energy of a system of particles is the sum o..

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 energy numbers is planned caref..

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases - In order to explain the observed behaviour of gases, a model was proposed based on the molecular and kinetic concept of gas molecules. This model takes into account the particulate nature of matter and the constant movement of particl..
