Evaporation is the phenomenon by which water changes its state from liquid to gas. Although water starts to boil from 212 degrees Fahrenheit, it begins evaporation at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The procedure through which the water starts changing its form from liquid to gaseous state is quite slow. Evaporation is, therefore, the natural phenomenon by…
Generally, evaporation is the process by which liquid matter under conditions of high temperature, escape as gas molecules. Water evaporation, similarly, is a process by which water molecules under high conditions of temperature change phase from liquid to gaseous form (where it escapes as gaseous water molecules or droplets). Water evaporation occurs because, at high…
We know that the earth revolves around the sun, birds fly in the sky, trains run on tracks, cars move on the road, but all these happen because of kinetic energy. Let’s make this clearer. There are two primary forms of energy. One is potential (stored) energy, and the other is kinetic energy. In physics,…
In Physics, energy is used to refer to an ability to do work. Energy exists in various forms. This includes Gravitational energy, Chemical energy, Radiant energy, Mechanical energy, Sonic energy, Thermal energy, Nuclear or atomic energy, Magnetic energy and Electrical energy amongst many others. These types of energy can be converted from one form to…
Thermal energy is energy possessed by a body or system due to the movement of particles within the body or the system. It is one of the different types of energy, where energy basically refers to the ability to do work. As such thermal energy can also be defined as the ability of something to…
Energy can be potential or kinetic. Radiant energy is a form of Kinetic energy. Movement of atoms, molecules, objects, wave, and substance is connected to a Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy can be in many different forms like sound, thermal energy, motion, electric energy, etc. Radiant energy is very important for example, there would be no…
Many different forms of energy can be called a Potential energy. Each one of these forms of energy is connected with a force that acts accordingly to the characteristic of the matter (mass, elasticity, temperature and electric charge). Potential energy can be described as 3 characteristics that a specific object has. The shape of an…
Whether you are running a hundred meter-long track, or just lying aimlessly on your bed, one thing remains true: you are doing work. In doing such work, you are employing a particular form of energy which enables you to move or stay in position. This form of energy is called mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is…
In the simplest terms, energy is the ability to do work. Energy is also represented in terms of any source of usable power. In different ways, energy is used to do almost everything such as jumping, walking and the operation of machinery. For instance, the foods human consume contain energy which is stored in the…
