Concept of optical prism

The theorem of live forces establishes that the work carried out by the forces acting on a system, is equal to its kinetic energy.

The following visual studies the work done by a pendulum: it is difficult to calculate as the force which acts on it varies constantly.

When we stretch a spring, the work we carry out varies as we stretch it. The following visual simulates the force exerted by a student on a spring. Choose a force constant for the spring and start the visual.

The forces of friction, which oppose displacement, also carry out work when a body is moving. The work of friction is converted into heat. The greater the force of friction, the more force must be exerted to move the body. Verify how friction affects the displacement of some blocks.

The educational resource shows information about the concept windy energy and its advantages and its disadvantages.

Which UAM moves at a greater speed?

Which URM moves at a greater speed?

Work is one of the ways of transmitting energy between bodies. The following visual will help you understand the concept of work by modifying the force and the angle which it forms with the horizontal. Click on help to see the possibilities it offers.

The educational resource shows a visual about the work: in Physics, for there to be work there must be a force acting on an object and displacement of the object.

Concept of normal force: is the force exerted by a surface on a body which is resting on it.

Concept of Newton. The newton is the unit of force in the International System of Units.

Concept of radioactivity. Radioactivity is the property which certain substances have for emitting radiation.

A picture shows some transformations of energy. The energy from the sun passes to plants, to oil, to coal, to animals and to human beings; they take advantage of it by using the energy from oil, animals, coal, etc.

Friction concept

Concept of Waves in the sea. The waves on the sea or those which form on any surface of water, are a special instance of undulatory movement.

Concept of wavefront: wavefront is the locus of points characterized by propagation of positions of identical phase.

Concept of wave function: there is a mathematical function associated with every particle which behaves like the functions of other undulatory phenomena.
