Transmitting Electricity at High Voltages
Description of the simulation You can compare the two cases with each other. The power plant produced is assumed to be \( 22,000V \times 1A = 22,000W \). You can change the…

Mechanical Energy Conversion 2
Mechanical energy As the roller coaster descends from a high place, the height decreases, and the speed increases, so the potential energy decreases, and the kinetic energy increases. Therefore, potential energy is…

Newton’s Cradle
Newton’s cradle Newton’s cradle consists of five iron balls, and each hung on two threads to prevent the ball from spinning. Originally Newton’s cradle was created to demonstrate Newton’s third law. If…

Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy All moving objects have kinetic energy. The kinetic energy Ek of an object with a mass of ‘m’ and a velocity of ‘v’ can be calculated as follows. \[E_{ k…

Elastic energy
Elastic (potential) energy stored in the spring The elastic energy is stored in the deformed spring. Also called ‘potential energy,’ and denoted by Ep. \[ Elastic \;energy \;E_p(J) = \frac{1}{2}kx^2 \] m:…

Where did the droplet’s energy go? (The second law of thermodynamics and irreversible phenomena)
* In this simulation, the attraction between particles is not considered. Where did the droplet’s energy go? Let’s think about the free fall of a water drop. From a macro perspective, falling…

Where did the pendulum’s energy go? (The second law of thermodynamics and irreversible phenomena)
Where did the pendulum’s energy go? A pendulum that vibrates in the air continues to collide with air molecules in the process of vibrating. Air molecules get their energy from the pendulum.…

‘Work’ in science
‘Work’ in science ‘Work’ in science and ‘work’ in everyday life is a little different. In science, ‘work’ is to apply a force to an object and move it in the force’s…
