Kinetic energy

different temperatures can affect a basketball. Fourth, we will search how the bounce of the ball relates to its air pressure. Next we will consider the Kinetic Theory of Gases. This theory can help us learn what the molecules themselves are doing inside the object (basketball). Finally, we will explore effusion. Although it branches off the Kinetic Theory of Gases, it explains how gas molecules are entering the basketball through a tiny hole. By knowing these components we can personally…

Background Research Chemical kinetics is the research of chemical processes which relates to the mechanisms and rates of chemical reactions (Sciencebuddies). The mechanisms describe variations of each molecule during the chemical action such as which bond is broken, which bond together newly, and how the three-dimensional shape of the chemical changes (Sciencebuddies). The rate of the reaction is measuring the speed of the chemical reactions (Sciencebuddies). Study of chemical kinetics would…

a certain point then the reaction rate will decrease. When the temperature increase above 37°C, then denature will occur. Also, the temperature increase, the kinetic energy where H2O2 molecules bind frequently with the catalyst increase the enzymes. Conclusions: An enzyme speeds up the chemical reaction, the activation energy allows energy to require to break bonds apart and lower activation…

similarities and differences of Kinetics of a Particle: Work and Energy and Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Work and Energy. Kinetics of a particle: work and energy shows the particle moving when forces are applied to it and produces work and energy. Meanwhile under planar kinetics of a rigid body shows the rigid body on the plane when forces are applied and produces work and energy. There are similarities and differences between both of it. Kinetics of a particle Planar kinetics of a rigid…

(RFV) process based on the knowledge that the catalyst bed is preheated to high temperature, pyrolysis of the heated cellulose particles on the surface of the bed is expected to be fast enough that it will not be a rate-limiting step. Hence, the kinetics of the RFV of cellulose reduces to gasification of the produced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on and in the catalyst bed. To represent the RFV of the VOCs from flash pyrolysis of cellulose, Aspen Plus has been used as the primary modelling…

TASK 12: Anything that has a mass and takes up space is known as matter. Energy is what can cause a change to matter. As energy cannot be created or destroyed, it gets stored or transferred. Kinetic energy is what a substance possesses due to it being in motion. The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made up of small particles that are constantly in motion with spaces between them. (Andrew Rader Studios. Matter is the Stuff Around You. 1997-2015) There are 3 main phases of matter…

Inelastic collisions occur when the kinetic energy of an object is not conserved, but converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or potential energy. As such, they still obey the conservation of energy principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed. When two bodies undergo an inelastic collision, their combined initial kinetic energy is not equal to the final kinetic energy of the system. When a tennis ball bounces on the ground, the kinetic energy that the ball possesses just…

Potential energy plays a big roll in a rollercoasters. All rollercoasters have the highest point or lowest point where the cart is at rest but either low or high. That is where potential energy is. Potential energy is the energy which results in position. Usually the most potential energy in a roller coaster is when it is about to start. The way that this type of energy is calculated and measured in P=MGH. M, being Mass, G being Gravity,…

builder must understand a few simple but, vital mechanics. The vehicle will be propelled by the pulling force of a small mousetrap. The end goal of building this car is to have it go from one end of the room to the other on top of carpet. Leverage, kinetic energy, and friction; are things to take into consideration while testing and building the car. There are two types of levers to keep in mind. The first is the lever arm that is pulling the string wrapped around the axle and is attached to…

this Rube Goldberg machine, an outside source of energy is transferred through the machine when someone adds force to part of the machine therefore starting the “simple” task. The initial energy is transferred from through each object therefore creating a chain reaction and then resulting in moving the final chess piece. There are two main types of energy as demonstrated in the Rube Goldberg machine; potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy can be seen when a rubber band is…
