A BUNCH OF MOLECULES TRANSPORTS US

     

                    ADVT: TODAY'S DEALS IN AMAZON

    Can you believe that a handful of gas molecules carry and transports us?  yes, that is true.


     We know the air is filled at high pressure in vehicle tires.  High pressure means; a very large number of molecules bang the walls of the Tyre with great force.  The force given by these molecules bear our weight; the vehicles' weight and carry us.



     In the engine, a set of cylinders and pistons arrangement is present.  Inside the cylinder, the mixture of air (oxygen) and petrol vapor is ignited by an electrical spark.  It then explodes.  Explosion means Sudden expansion of gases; gas molecules gain energy; move faster.  These molecules push the piston.  A visible mechanical movement is created by invisible molecules.

     These movements of pistons are converted into rotational motion which will then power and drive the wheels.  The rotations of wheels transport us.  Hence, just a collection of molecules is responsible for our journey.

     The steam engine which propelled the trains of easter years also works on the same principle.  Here vaporized water molecules powers the engine.

     In the case of the rocket; liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen (an example) burn providing very hot gases.  These gas molecules escape through the nozzle at the back with great force.  This force creates the reaction force which propels the rocket forwards.  Hence gas molecules landed men on the moon.

     Air molecules flying under the wings of the plane lifts it up.  Helicopter, Drones, air balloon, glider manipulates air molecules and flies.

     When we drink fruit juice using a straw, the air molecules push the liquid into the straw.  Air molecules can push heavy mercury liquid into an evacuated glass tube up to 76.4 cm.  That is the power of moving air molecules.  That is what we call standard atmospheric pressure.

     The invisible power of gas molecules is great.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
