Jul 24, 2014 · Definition/Summary Pressure is normal force per area, or work done per volume, or mechanical energy per volume (mechanical energy density). Static pressure, P, in a fluid (a liquid or …

Jul 24, 2014 · For a completely non-conservative force, work equals loss of mechanical energy (the energy lost generally becomes radiation or heat). Potential energy: For a conservative force, work …

Jun 19, 2012 · By definition, mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of a body or system. Unfortunately, the term 'mechanical' energy is used in a completely different context, …

Nov 23, 2019 · Everywhere I go, the definition of energy is "the ability to do work" while the definition of work is "the transfer of energy." How can we define energy without using the word "work" and vice …

Jun 19, 2012 · The discussion clarifies the various types of potential energy, confirming that potential energy encompasses gravitational, elastic, chemical, electric, and nuclear forms. Participants agree …

Mar 14, 2021 · The discussion revolves around the law of conservation of energy, particularly focusing on the role of non-conservative forces in mechanical systems. Participants explore theoretical …

Jul 23, 2004 · A participant proposes that understanding torque as a means to balance objects in rotation can clarify its definition and application. Some argue that work done in rotational motion can …

Dec 31, 2023 · Without energy dissipation, any angular velocity on impact will be fully retrieved, and the stick will bounce forever. So the rate of energy dissipation is key here, while you are just looking at …

Apr 30, 2019 · There is a discussion about the relationship between mechanical work and thermodynamic work, with some suggesting that thermodynamic work generalizes mechanical work …
