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”

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Scientific and Engineering Notation

Within the observable universe, measurements ranging from “ very small “ to “ very large “ can be made. The rules of scientific notation enable such measurements to be expressed in convenient powers of ten. In order to express a number in scientific notation, a number that does not fall between the numbers 1 andContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Scientific and Engineering Notation”
