What is the difference between the macroscopic and microscopic forms of energy?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The difference between macroscopic and microscopic forms of energy.
Explanation of Solution
The difference between the macroscopic and microscopic forms of energy is discussed as below in the tabular form.
| S. No. | Macroscopic | Microscopic |
| 1. | It is a type of energy where the system is related with motion and external effects. | It is a type of energy where the system is related with molecular structure and its activities. |
| 2. | The kinetic and potential energy are the form of macroscopic as they are displayed as outside reference frame. | The internal energy is the form of microscopic as it is independent of outside reference frames. |
| 3. | The approach used in the macroscopic form is simple mathematical formulae. | The approach used in the microscopic form is advanced mathematical formulae. |

of the basket of the balloon at point A, and their other ends are staked to the ground. The hook is located in the geometric
center of the basket. The balloon and the air inside it have a combined mass of 3000 kg. You want to determine the
resultant of the tension forces in the four cables acting on the hook at point A. It is known that the magnitudes of the
tension in the cables are as follows: TAB = 207 N; TAC = 355 N; TAD = 250 N; and TAE = 486 N.

- find stress at Qarrow_forwardI had a theoretical question about attitude determination. In the attached images, I gave two axis and angles. The coefficient of the axes are the same and the angles are the same. The only difference is the vector basis. Lets say there is a rotation going from n hat to b hat. Then, you introduce a intermediate rotation s hat. So, I want to know if the DCM produced from both axis and angles will be the same or not. Does the vector basis affect the numerical value of the DCM? The DCM formula only cares about the coefficient of the axis and the angle. So, they should be the same right?arrow_forward3-15.
