Equilibrium is the state of a particle when it experiences no net force or torque, allowing it to maintain a constant velocity or remain at rest. Equilibrium focuses on the conditions under which a particle achieves the balance. Definition of Equilibrium Equilibrium of a particle is a state in which the net external force and … Read more
One of the three states of matter, the liquid state is great from solids and gases by certain physical characteristics. It is the intermediate state between the gas and liquid state. In liquids, molecules are close enough; so that there are considerable intermolecular forces are attraction. Liquids have definite volume like solids but no define … Read more
Momentum is a vector quantity; it has both magnitude and direction. Since momentum has a direction, it can be used to predict the resulting direction and speed of motion of objects after they collide. Mathematically represented as the product of an object’s mass and velocity. p = mv where p is momentum, m is mass, and … Read more
The process of converting a gas into a liquid is known as “liquefaction of gases.” When the gas is exposed to particular temperature and pressure that challenge is to expand and stay in the gaseous phase, this change takes place. In fields like cryogenics, industrial gas storage, and the study of intermolecular forces. Molecular forces … Read more
Newton’s Third Law of Motion is states that to every action, there is an equal (in magnitude) and opposite (indirection) reaction. If a body A exerts a force F on another body B then B exert a force – F on A. The forces act along the same line. Action and reaction never cancel each … Read more
Behaviour of Real gases: – The gases which obey the gas laws only at low pressure and high temperature are called the real gases. Ideal gas law is frequently used in gas studies as to explain how gases behave. Gases do not, always behave optimally in practice, particularly when temperatures are low and pressures are … Read more
Newton’s Second Law of Motion gives a numerical explanation of how things behave under the influence of forces. It asserts that an object’s rate of change of momentum, which happens in the direction of the applied force, is exactly proportionate to the net external force acting on it. It can be stated. Mathematically as: F … Read more
Gas laws were based on simple experimental facts hence, a theoretical proof or derivation for the same was proposed, on the basis of Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases (KMT) was given by Maxwell and Boltzmann in the 19th century. This theory lays the bridges the gap between macroscopic characteristics like pressure, temperature, and volume and … Read more
Newton’s First Law of Motion, is also called as the Law of Inertia. Newton. This law states: “A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will continue in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a non zero net external force.” Inertia is the property of the body … Read more
Kinetic energy and molecular speeds of gases form the kinetic theory of gases. This theory describes the behavior of gases at the molecular level, connecting macroscopic properties like pressure and temperature with microscopic phenomena such as molecular motion. Pressure exerted by collisions Kinetic Energy of Gas Molecules Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the … Read more
