SEQUENTIAL ENERGY LOSSES IN A CHAIN REACTION: A Practical Application of Exponential and Logarithmic Mathematics

A row of evenly spaced dominoes, each with a mass = 100 g ( 0.1 kg ) and height h = 0.2 m, is placed on a flat horizontal surface. The 1rst domino that falls delivers 5J of energy to the 2nd domino in line. Energy losses due to friction and air resistance occur betweenContinue reading “SEQUENTIAL ENERGY LOSSES IN A CHAIN REACTION: A Practical Application of Exponential and Logarithmic Mathematics”

MATHEMATICS: A Review of Logarithmic Functions and Exponential Math

The basic rules of exponents state that some number ( a ) raised to the ( x ) power is equal to ( y ). For example, ( 2 )( 2 ) = 4. This can also be expressed as ” two squared ” = 2^2. Likewise, ( 2 )( 2 )( 2 ) =Continue reading “MATHEMATICS: A Review of Logarithmic Functions and Exponential Math”
