Nuclear power plants use nuclear fuel, usually uranium, to produce energy and power a nuclear reactor. A neutron is usually released to...

Last time we talked about types of nuclear reaction, and we are going to talk about nuclear decay in this post. There are three types of...

Today, we learned a new type of energy: nuclear energy. To start this, we have been introduced two types of nuclear reaction: fission and...

As we mentioned phase change from last post, today we are going to talk about the measurement of thermal energy that takes for a...

Today, we learned the measurement of physical changes of heat in a system. We learn a new term: specific heat capacity. The specific heat...

Today, we continued the study from last week and investigated the difference between temperature and heat in a more specific way....

Thermal energy is sometimes mixed with heat energy, but they are indeed 2 different things. Thermal energy is the total amount of kinetic...

Today, we investigated internal energy. Internal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of particles in a substance. In an...

Heat is the measure of average kinetic energy of particles within an object . It is the amount of thermal energy added to /removed from a...

Today, we learned the definition of power and the method to calculate it. Power is defined as the ratio of amount of work done within a...
