... The propagation and decay of a blast wave in air has been studied for the case when the maximum excess over atmospheric pressure does not exceed 2atm. At great distances R from the explosion centre the pressure excess decays as in a sound wave proportionally to R-l. At points nearer to the centre it ...

... J2 = (5.00 V/m)/(1.69 × 108 ·m) = 296 A/m2 in section 2. Conservation of electric current from section 1 into section 2 implies J1 A1 = J2 A2 J1 (4R2) = J2 (R2) (see Eq. 26-5). This leads to J1 = 74 A/m2. Now, Eq. 26-7 immediately yields J1 vd = ne = 5.44 ×109 m/s for the drift speed of conduc ...

Conservation of energy
In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant—it is said to be conserved over time. Energy can be neither created nor be destroyed, but it transforms from one form to another, for instance chemical energy can be converted to kinetic energy in the explosion of a stick of dynamite.A consequence of the law of conservation of energy is that a perpetual motion machine of the first kind cannot exist. That is to say, no system without an external energy supply can deliver an unlimited amount of energy to its surroundings.
