Equilibrium
* If the simulation does not move, please refresh the web page. Radiation Places near the stove feel warmer than far away. This is due to the direct transfer of heat from the stove without the movement of matter. This … more
Phase array
Spinning radar In general, electromagnetic waves (radio waves) propagate in all directions. In this case, radio waves can be transmitted or received in any direction. However, as the distance increases, the strength of the radio wave decreases in proportion to … more
Plants Respiration
Plants Respiration Animals carry out active breathing movements to obtain the energy they need for life activities. Through this breathing movement, oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide is released. Like animals, plants do respiration. However, plant respiration is performed through … more
Newtonian Reflector
Refracting telescope A telescope that uses only the refraction of a lens is called a refracting telescope. There are two types of refracting telescopes depending on the combination of lenses. The Galilean telescope is often referred to as a terrestrial … more

Solar System
Solar System All the orb bodies that revolve around the sun and their space are called the solar system. The celestial bodies that make up the solar system include the eight planets revolving around the sun and the sun, the … more
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 }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } m{ v … more
Eratosthenes’ Calculation of Earth’s Circumference 2
Eratosthenes’ Calculation of Earth’s Circumference The first person to measure the earth’s size was Eratosthenes, an ancient Greek scientist about 2,000 years ago. Eratosthenes lived in Alexandria, near the Nile River’s mouth by the Mediterranean coast, in northern Egypt. He … more
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: Mass (kg) k: Spring constant (N/m) x: Deformation … more
Geocentrism vs. Heliocentrism
Geocentrism, The Geocentric theory The Geocentric theory is a cosmic perspective in which the Earth is at the center, and all the stars revolve around the Earth. From the 13th to the 17th century, it was a widely recognized worldview … more
DC Motor 2
Motor An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by utilizing the force received by a conductor through which a current flows in a magnetic field. Electric motors are used in many fields, from small … more
