  2. MinutePhysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinutePhysics

    MinutePhysics is an educational YouTube channel created by Henry Reich in 2011. The channel's videos use whiteboard animation to explain physics-related topics. Early videos on the channel were approximately one minute long. [2] As of March 2024, the channel has over 5.7 million subscribers.

  3. Energy absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_absorber

    A kinetic-energy absorbing medium, sometimes called a crash pit or runaway truck ramp; A shock absorber, a device to dampen spring rebound by expending work by forcing a fluid through ports, and so converting the mechanical energy to heat; In the context of Fall arrest, an energy absorber is a device that limits the energy of a falling body

  4. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    In physics, the D-region of Earth's ionosphere is known to significantly absorb radio signals that fall within the high-frequency electromagnetic spectrum. In nuclear physics, absorption of nuclear radiations can be used for measuring the fluid levels, densitometry or thickness measurements. [2]

  5. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    Kinetic energy provided by planetary rotation; An internal energy source to drive convective motions within the fluid. [11] In the case of the Earth, the magnetic field is induced and constantly maintained by the convection of liquid iron in the outer core. A requirement for the induction of field is a rotating fluid.

  6. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    The moving ball can then hit something and push it, doing work on what it hits. The kinetic energy of a moving object is equal to the work required to bring it from rest to that speed, or the work the object can do while being brought to rest: net force × displacement = kinetic energy, i.e., =

  7. Energy cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_cascade

    Schematic illustration of production, energy cascade and dissipation in the energy spectrum of turbulence. The largest motions, or eddies, of turbulence contain most of the kinetic energy, whereas the smallest eddies are responsible for the viscous dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy. Kolmogorov hypothesized that when these scales are well ...

  8. Rotational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy

    An example is the calculation of the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth. As the Earth has a sidereal rotation period of 23.93 hours, it has an angular velocity of 7.29 × 10 −5 rad·s −1. [2] The Earth has a moment of inertia, I = 8.04 × 10 37 kg·m 2. [3] Therefore, it has a rotational kinetic energy of 2.14 × 10 29 J.

  9. Energy transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transformation

    Fire is an example of energy transformation Energy transformation using Energy Systems Language. Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. [1] In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or moving (e.g. lifting an object) or provides heat.
