Energy transfer

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

A filmmaker wants to achieve an interesting visual effect by filming a scene through a converging lens with a focal length of 50.0 m. The lens is placed betwen the camera and a horse, which canters toward the camera at a constant speed of 7.9 m/s. The camera starts rolling when the horse is 36.0 m from the lens. Find the average speed of the image of the horse (a) during the first 2.0 s after the camera starts rolling and (b) during the following 2.0 s.
