500J of kinetic energy. Work is calculated with the formula: work done=force x distance moved For example‚ if a force of 10 newton (F = 10 N) acts along point that travels 2 meters (d = 2 m)‚ then it does the work W = (10 N)(2 m) = 20 N m = 20 J. This is approximately the work done lifting a 1 kg weight from ground to over a person’s head against the force of gravity. Notice that the work is doubled either by lifting twice the weight the same distance or by lifting the same weight twice the distance

Potential Energy Potential Energy is a type of energy that does not involve motion. It is the energy that is stored up. The more work done to change an object’s position or shape‚ the more potential energy it has. For example‚ a person on a ladder has more potential energy than a person on the ground because they have done more work to get up there. Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. The more work an object has done‚ the more kinetic energy it has. the amount of kinetic

Doon Town It was at night that Doon Town really blossomed. It was not safe to be out alone on the streets then. Stabbings were the one constant feature of life. Along the dark alleys leading off the main street‚ the people plied their trade.

U.S. economy is roughly twice the size of the Chinese economy‚ Americans seem to believe that China is more powerful than the U.S. This is according to a recent survey from Gallup. Twelve years ago‚ only 10 percent of Americans surveyed by Gallup believed China to be the world’s leading economic power. This compares to the 53 percent who picked China this year. Only 32 percent of Americans believing that their home country has the most powerful economy. Japan came in third‚ with 8 percent of

Introduction For the past 30 years Scientist have searched desperately for the answer to salt toleration within plants. The damaging effects of salt accumulation in agricultural soils have influenced both ancient and modern day civilizations alike. Worldwide‚ an estimated 24.7 million acres of once agriculturally productive land are being lost annually due to irrigation-induced salinity‚ according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thus‚ crop production is limited by salinity on 40% of
