Document Summary
Difference between diesel and gasoline, diesel doesn"t require a spark to ignite the fuel while other auto engines do. Diesel is much more efficient: because it"s burned at a higher temperature, more efficient due to the equation. Photon takes time to reach sun"s surface, this is because of random walk. Every point on a wavefront, acts like a new source of wave energy. 10 kg has more heat because more atoms in the water. 4: heat is the sum of all heat energy in atoms. If book through at same direction, you will moves slower: why do astronauts in the international space station float, the space statio is constantly falling towards the earth at the same speed that they are. When 2 atoms join together, they have the same acceleration, as the two atoms have the same acceleration. Heat is kinetic energy, the kinetic energy of the molecules. As the molecules are shaking back and forth faster.
