Does energy have momentum?

Does energy have momentum? Light indeed carries energy via its momentum despite having no mass. Public Domain Image, source: Christopher S. Baird. In the above equation, E is the total energy of the particle, p is the momentum of the particle (which is related to its motion), c is the speed of light, and m […]

Are combustion engines more efficient?

Are combustion engines more efficient? How efficient are engines? Combustion engines are stupefyingly inefficient. Most diesel engines do not even have a thermal efficiency of 50%. Of every gallon of diesel burned by a combustion engine, less than half of the energy generated becomes mechanical energy. How long will internal combustion engines be around? The […]

What is the change in internal energy of the system when no heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings but work is done by the system what type of wall does the system have?

What is the change in internal energy of the system when no heat is absorbed by the system from the surroundings but work is done by the system what type of wall does the system have? adiabatic What is thermally conducting walls? Consider two systems A and B which are separated by a conducting wall. […]

Why do they say feels like temperature?

Why do they say feels like temperature? The “feels like” temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold it really feels like outside. For example, skin that is exposed to wind and cold temperatures will make a person feel that it is colder outside than it really is because heat is drawn away from […]

How many PSI is a brake line?

How many PSI is a brake line? Metal brake lines must withstand 5000 psi tests, and most burst around 15,000 psi. Typical full-lock operating pressures on conventional OEM-style automotive hydraulic-brake systems are 900–1,000 psi (69 bar) with manual brakes and 1,400-plus psi (96 bar)with power-assisted brakes. Is it illegal to use compression fittings on brake […]

What is range of normal distribution?

What is range of normal distribution? The area under each curve is one but the scaling of the X axis is different. Note, however, that the areas to the left of the dashed line are the same. The BMI distribution ranges from 11 to 47, while the standardized normal distribution, Z, ranges from -3 to […]

Why were Russian peasants so poor?

Why were Russian peasants so poor? The reforms in agricultural also disappointed the peasants. By 1900 around 85 per cent of the Russian people lived in the countryside and earned their living from agriculture. The nobility still owned the best land and the vast majority of peasants lived in extreme poverty. Why was there a […]
