what is energy?
... We often use the words work and heat as if they are forms of energy. I do it all the time and I'm not sorry. But some thermodynamic text books say that work and heat are processes or methods of energy transfer, not forms of energy. When describing energy transfers in this way, we should say somethin ...

The null result of Joule’s experiment meant that the forces between the atoms or molecules of the gas must be very weak indeed. To a first approximation, we can set them equal to zero (but see footnote). This completes ...

The Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy
... The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that “The sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy in a system is constant if no resistant forces do work”. Mathematically, this law can be stated as: KE1 + PE1 = KE2 + PE2 = …….KEn + PEn In other words the sum of the kinetic and potentia ...
