Atomic energy is energy produced by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility ofatomic energy.[1] The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase‚ "splitting the atom"‚ devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy also may refer to: * Nuclear binding energy‚ the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom * Nuclear potential energy‚ the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus * Nuclear

issues in today’s world is that of energy sources to power an increasing global demand. Traditionally‚ humans have converted energy from natural resources like coal and natural gas for use. However‚ these sources of energy are both nonrenewable and cause large amounts of pollution. As we progress through the 21st century‚ renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy will see increased use to replace traditional sources. One of these sources‚ wind energy‚ is seeing a rise in development because

Degradation : Environment is the first casualty for increase in pollution weather in air or water. The increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere leads to smog which can restrict sunlight from reaching the earth. Thus‚ preventing plants in the process of photosynthesis. Gases like Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide can cause acid rain. Water pollution in terms of Oil spill may lead to death of several wildlife species. 2.

Work done by force acting on an object in the direction of the force is equal to the product of the magnitude of the force and the displacement covered by the object in the direction of the force. The work done is measured in joule in the SI system after the scientist James Prescott Joule. Erg is the CGS unit of work. Conditions for work to be done: A net force should act on an object. The object must be displaced in the direction of the net force. Work is said to be done when an object is displaced

The patients weight and the distribution of the weight help determine if the person is considered obese. The most common way for it to be determined whether or not a person is obese is the use of the body mass index.
