Inelastic Collisions in One Dimension

We have seen that in an elastic collision, internal kinetic energy is conserved. An inelastic collision is one in which the internal kinetic energy changes (it is not conserved). This lack of conservation means that the forces between colliding objects ...

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Disorder and the Unavailability of Energy

The ice in this drink is slowly melting. Eventually the liquid will reach thermal equilibrium, as predicted by the second law of thermodynamics. (credit: Jon Sullivan, PDPhoto.org) There is yet another way of expressing the second ...

Cell Growth and Division

So far in this chapter, you have read numerous times of the importance and prevalence of cell division. While there are a few cells in the body that do not undergo cell division (such as gametes, red blood cells, most neurons, and some muscle cells), most ...

Telescopes

are meant for viewing distant objects, producing an image that is larger than the image that can be seen with the unaided eye. gather far more light than the eye, allowing dim objects to be observed with greater magnification and better resolution. ...

Vision

is the ability to detect light patterns from the outside environment and interpret them into images. Animals are bombarded with sensory information, and the sheer volume of visual information can be problematic. Fortunately, the visual systems of species ...

Approximation

On many occasions, physicists, other scientists, and engineers need to make approximations or “guesstimates” for a particular quantity. What is the distance to a certain destination? What is the approximate density of a given item? About how ...

Prokaryotic Metabolism

Prokaryotes are metabolically diverse organisms. There are many different environments on Earth with various energy and carbon sources, and variable conditions. Prokaryotes have been able to live in every environment by using whatever energy and carbon sources ...
