Joule

Radiant energy was discovered in the late 1800s by a British chemist and physicist known as Sir William Crookes. • The unit of measurement used for measuring radiant energy is called joules. • What can produce radiant energies? Anything which has a temperature can produces radiant energies, providing its temperature is different to the absolute zero. • Sunlight produces radiant energy. The speed of light is quicker than any other speed…

on its relative position in a force field such as gravity, it is described as potential energy, a term that was first used in the early nineteenth century. Energy is most often measured by the product of Newton’s and meters which are also known as Joules. Mechanical energy is extremely diverse due to its many different aspects. It is so diverse that it exists in every single body in the universe. Mechanical energy is everywhere; from a football being tossed to a pencil falling off of a desk.…

Frisky at the Fair Having known her for well over six years, I thought finally going on a date would be easy. I had a fresh taper fade that felt as if my lineup could cut through steel and a fade as smooth as ocean waves gliding on the shore. After countless minutes scrubbing the soles of my shoes till my fingertips begin to prune, finally the crisp frozen whiteness returned. Having pondered every possibly outfit in my closet and countless wardrobe changes, deciding to keep it simple seemed…

1 Introduction Since the early 1970s the need for a clean and environmental friendly alternative to the use of fossil fuel in combustion engines, especially in individual transportation, has grown with ups and downs over time. Increased awareness of climate change and global warming have enforced the so called hydrogen energy transition, which describes the significant change from the dominant oil based technologies towards the use of hydrogen as a clean fuel in transportation. Although hydrogen…

Throughout history the world and its people have been constantly changing without warning or consent. For humans though it might seem like an issue, well its not simply because of the fact that humans are the most adaptable species on the planet. Even though we are the most adaptable beings on the planet we still go through struggle to adapt and learn, but at the end of the day we survive. In Gustavo Arellanos book Orange County A Personal History he give us an incite how his family adapts to…

Long ago, a man named Yugong (foolish man) lived in a house sitting behind two giant mountains. One morning, Yugong started taking rocks away from the mountains and told his neighbors that he was going to move them because they were blocking his way. One of his neighbors, known as Zhisou (wise man) heard the story and laughed: “Have you seen the sizes of the mountains? How could you ever have them moved?” Yugong answered, “I will just get it started. My children will continue; so will my…

Higgs Boson essay Written by Nicola Racape In this essay, I will briefly talk about Peter Higgs and of the significance of his discovery of the God particle. I will also mention how Large Hadron collider functions and the link to our universe to this discovery. I will write about how society will benefit from these discoveries and if it really is worth investing in these operations or should the money be spent elsewhere. Peter Higgs named his discovery the god particle, the key reason…

the focus for the past decades. The sun, the giant burning star that is 92 million miles away from us, is warming us the earth and providing us with light and energy, helping plants and animals grow, as well as the living of human. Depositing 342 joules of energy per square metre per second, the sun, as many scholars and scientists believe, is an “unlimited” source of energy: the solar energy (International…

Byproducts of Rising Global Temperature The terms global warming and climate change are often thought of as interchangeable, while they are to some extent, particularly within the context of politics, in science the terms are taken more literally. As discussed earlier, the scientific community is in agreement with regards to the fact that global temperatures are increasing. So calling the phenomenon global warming is not technically incorrect, however, global warming does not encompass the…

On August 6, 1945, an American B-29 bomber, notoriously known as ‘Little Boy’, dropped the world’s first atomic bomb used in war on Hiroshima, Japan and instantly killed 60,000 – 80,000 upon impact. A few days later, ‘Fat Man’ (a second, bigger atomic bomb) was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. Those who became hibakushas, a Japanese word for atomic bomb survivors, were significantly affected and were likely to have their lifespan reduced after radiation exposure. The rest of their lives were…
