    The kinetic energy of a 2 kg mass travelling at 1 m/s, or a 1 kg mass travelling at 1.41 m/s. The energy required to lift an apple up 1 m, assuming the apple has a mass of 101.97 g. The heat required to raise the temperature of 0.239 g of water from 0 °C to 1 °C. [15] The kinetic energy of a 50 kg human moving very slowly (0.2 m/s or 0.72 km ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemical_symbol

    Although notation was partly standardized, style and symbol varied between alchemists. Lüdy-Tenger [1] published an inventory of 3,695 symbols and variants, and that was not exhaustive, omitting for example many of the symbols used by Isaac Newton. This page therefore lists only the most common symbols.

    For example, the table shows that the first pair of vertically adjacent atoms with different ground-state term symbols are V and Nb. The 6 D 1 ⁄ 2 ground state of Nb corresponds to an excited state of V 2112 cm −1 above the 4 F 3 ⁄ 2 ground state of V, which in turn corresponds to an excited state of Nb 1143 cm −1 above the Nb ground ...

    Science Olympiad logo. Science Olympiad, sometimes abbreviated as Scioly, is an American team competition in which students compete in 23 events pertaining to various fields of science, including earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Over 7,800 middle school and high school teams from 50 U.S. states compete each year.

    Sunlight also drives most weather phenomena, save a few exceptions, like those generated by volcanic events for example. An example of a solar-mediated weather event is a hurricane, which occurs when large unstable areas of warm ocean, heated over months, suddenly give up some of their thermal energy to power a few days of violent air movement.

  9. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    The energy that a physical body possesses due to its motion, defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. The body continues to maintain this kinetic energy unless its velocity changes. Contrast potential energy. Kirchhoff's circuit laws. Also called Kirchhoff's rules or simply Kirchhoff's laws.
