http://www.macalester.edu/biology/physics.html

Extractions: Physics identifies four primary forces in the universe: electromagnetism, gravity, and strong and weak nuclear forces. However, the forces that are the most important in understanding biological systems at the cellular level are electrical charge interactions (including hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions), the forces of molecular collision, and the forces produced by macromolecular conformational change. Pressure is defined as force per unit of surface area (e.g. pounds per square inch) In cell biology, pressure is created primarily by molecular collision and is measured as osmotic, diffusion, or air pressure. However, the pressure produced by weight (mass x gravity) of fluid (hydrostatic pressure) or solid structures is a major component in understanding the physiology of multicellular creatures. In biology, pressure is traditionally expressed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or as osmotic pressure (particle concentration). These units can be interconverted. In physics, work is defined and measured as force x distance. This definition is useful, and can be expanded to aid our understanding of biological creatures at the cellular level. In cell biology, it is helpful to think of work as a) moving a molecular entity over a distance (e.g. molecules do work continually because they are in motion, greater force is required to concentrate than to diffuse molecules, thus work is done in the creation of concentration gradients); b) creating and/or degrading a molecular structure (much of the work of the cell does not involve the movement of anything, but rather produces molecular transformation, through chemical reactions and conformational changes.)

Re: What Causes Different Types Of Materials To Conduct Heat At Different Rates
Steel Technical Center Area of science physics ID 884534502 solids, as well as thermalexpansion, heat content, etc. are based on how thermal energy is stored
http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/feb98/885153825.Ph.r.html

Extractions: Library of Congress catalog card number is 66-16132. To begin with there are several different types of solid materials which are distinguished by how their atoms are arranged. Metals and ceramics Another type of solid, called plastics or polymeric materials , also do not have free electrons. Plastics also do not generally have an orderly atomic structure like ceramics and metals. Instead plastics can be thought of as a mixture of long molecules all chained and tangled together. Although the atoms in each molecule are tightly bonded to each other. There is little bonding between the different molecules, and no general order to the structure. The lack of an orderly structure in plastics contributes to it poorer thermal conductivity as you will see. Now given this knowledge of the structure of the different classes of solids, (metals, ceramics, and plastics), we will look at how heat energy is stored in solids. There are two main ways thermal energy is stored in solids. One way is in higher vibrational energy of the atom around its normal position and the other is in higher kinetic energy (or energy of motion) of any free electrons. In metals, heat energy is mostly transferred by the free electrons, which are free to easily move about the solid. This is why metals have the highest thermal conductivity. Here the thermal energy is picked up by the free electrons and rapidly transferred from atom to atom.

http://www.nobel.se/physics/articles/fusion/sun_1.html

Extractions: How old is the sun? How does the sun shine? These questions are two sides of the same coin, as we shall see. The rate at which the sun is radiating energy is easily computed by using the measured rate at which energy reaches the earth's surface and the distance between the earth and the sun. The total energy that the sun has radiated away over its lifetime is approximately the product of the current rate at which energy is being emitted, which is called the solar luminosity, times the age of the sun. The older the sun is, the greater the total amount of radiated solar energy. The greater the radiated energy, or the larger the age of the sun, the more difficult it is to find an explanation of the source of solar energy. To better appreciate how difficult it is to find an explanation, let us consider a specific illustration of the enormous rate at which the sun radiates energy. Suppose we put a cubic centimeter of ice outside on a summer day in such a way that all of the sunshine is absorbed by the ice. Even at the great distance between the earth and the sun, sunshine will melt the ice cube in about 40 minutes. Since this would happen anywhere in space at the earth's distance from the sun, a huge spherical shell of ice centered on the sun and 300 million km (200 million miles) in diameter would be melted at the same time. Or, shrinking the same amount of ice down to the surface of the sun, we can calculate that an area ten thousand times the area of the earth's surface and about half a kilometer (0.3 mile) thick would also be melted in 40 minutes by the energy pouring out of the sun.
The Physics Of Everyday Stuff, By Sam Hokin

http://www.bsharp.org/physics/stuff/skidmarks.html

Extractions: An important task in auto accident recostruction is the analysis of skidmarks, which I call "skidmark forensics". Armed with data on the car's tires and the road surface, a accident reconstruction engineer can make a good estimate of a car's speed just before the driver hit the brakes. We can get the basic idea using a very simple model of friction. (Photo from The Traffic Accident Reconstruction Origin A common model of friction comes from the observation that the heavier an object is, the harder it sticks to a surface. If you call the force you have to use to push a sliding object f , then the simplest model of friction that makes f increase with object weight is one that just says f is proportional to weight mg (where m is the mass of the car and g=9.8 coefficient of kinetic friction , and accident investigators have tables for all sorts of tires and road surfaces. So how long is a skidmark for a given initial car speed? There are a couple ways of figuring this out. I'll use an energy technique here. The main idea is this: the car is hurtling along at speed v , which means it has a lot of kinetic energy of motion associated with it. If the car has mass

For example, which has a higher temperature: A steaming cup of tea or a huge iceberg? The answer is obvious the tea is at a higher temperature. But which of the two has more heat? The iceberg does, but who would have thought that? To understand why an iceberg has more heat, we need to take a closer look at the physics of heat and try to understand what is happening at the molecular level. The following is an article that appeared in a recent issue of a scientifically oriented periodical. It will help lay the groundwork for our discussions this chapter.

Extractions: If this energy goes into heating water, the rate at which the water is heated, dQ/dt, is where dm/dt is the rate at which water flows past the resistor and is heating, D t is the rise in temperature and c is the specific heat of water. In this equation the units are: value units dm/dt g/s c cal/g o C DT o C or Kelvins dQ/dt cal/s where one calorie is the amount of heat energy needed to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius at 4 o C. In the steady state, dm/dt and therefore dq/dt will be considered constant. Procedure: 1. Set up the apparatus as shown in Figure 1. DO NOT TURN ON THE POWER.

Extractions: Object To determine the conversion factor between the mechanical energy unit, the joule, and the heat energy unit, the calorie. Theory Work done by friction forces acting on a body or system of bodies results in the generation of energy, i.e., the mechanical wok done by the force of friction is converted to heat. When a constant frictional force torque acts on a rotating body the work done is W = G f Q where G f is the torque and Q , the angle through which the body turns. In this experiment, the frictional torque is applied to a rotating disc by a force acting tangent to the disc perimeter. Thus W = FR Q where F is the applied force in Newtons, R , the radius in meters, Q , the angle in radians, and W is in Joules. The heat Q added to a body of mass m which rises in temperature an amount D T is Q = mc D T where c is the specific heat of the body. If m is in grams, D T in o C and c in cal/g o C , then Q will be in calories. One calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius at 4 o C.

Jesse Brittain A moored fuel barge needed to be moved about 60 feet down a pier so other operations could occur. Personnel lifted the pier-side eyes of the mooring lines and used a workboat to give the barge a shove to get it moving in the desired direction. When the barge reached the desired position, the workers placed the eyes of the lines over pier cleats to stop and hold the craft in place. Unfortunately, two of the lines failed, hitting and injuring a person on the pier. The victim spent five days in a hospital but is expected to make a full recovery. Everyone should remember these basic principles of physics from high school: Energy neither can be created nor destroyedjust converted in form (the first law of thermodynamics).

The temperature of a substance changes as heat energy is added to it. running, 2510.Approximately 80 % of the energy used by your body ends up as waste heat.
http://www.rwc.uc.edu/koehler/biophys.2ed/heat.html

Extractions: Heat (denoted by Q) is thermal energy : the energy of a system of particles randomly colliding with each other and objects in their environment. It has dimensions of energy, but it is NOT a state variable : unlike temperature, its value does depend on the past history of the system. For instance, a system can be isothermally expanded by adding heat, or its pressure can be slowly decreased without the addition of heat. Yet the final pressure, temperature and volume are the same. The temperature of a substance changes as heat energy is added to it. The heat capacity (denoted by C) of an object is the ratio of change in heat to change in temperature, and the specific heat (denoted by c) of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass. We therefore have D Q = m c D T. Some useful specfic heats are: water 4.186 kJ / kg K ice water vapor human tissue air Ice and water vapor (steam) are alternate phases of water. For a given substance at a given pressure, phase changes occur at well-defined temperatures. For water at standard atmospheric pressure (at the surface of the earth), those are 273.15K and 373.15K: C and 100C, the freezing and boiling points, which define the Celsius degree, and therefore the Kelvin . For a given substance, the heat change per unit mass required for a

http://www.physics.nmt.edu/~raymond/classes/ph132-s04/studynotes/ch22.html

Extractions: This chapter is mostly quite straightforward. It begins with a discussion of the empirical meaning of temperature. This section also introduces the idea of thermal expansion. ``Heat'' is a verb, as in ``to heat''. It means to add to the energy of molecular motions of a body by molecular transfer processes such as heat conduction or absorption of radiation. ``Specific heat'' is the amount of heating needed to raise the temperature of a body of unit mass by one degree. The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy (i. e., energy of molecular motion) of a body is equal to the heat added to the body minus the work done by the body. It is really a statement of the conservation of energy. Heat conduction in a solid body obeys a simple law given in the text. Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted by the acceleration of charged particles which are undergoing ordinary thermal motions. The energy per unit area per unit time emitted by a body depends on the body's emissivity and its temperature. If the emissivity is epsilon, which ranges from to 1, then the body has a reflectivity 1 - epsilon. Black body radiation occurs in a cavity where the walls are all the same temperature. This depends only on temperature and not on the emissivity of the walls. Friction occurs when two bodies rub against each other. Friction between solids depends on the force holding them together and on the coefficient of friction. Be sure to understand the difference between static and kinetic friction. Friction between bodies separated by a thin sheet of fluid depends on the shear in the fluid and the fluid's viscosity.

http://www.shef.ac.uk/physics/teaching/phy001/unit2.html

Extractions: Heat is a form of energy - the disordered kinetic energy of the molecules of a body. Heat energy is therefore measured in the usual unit of energy, the Joule J . The rate of heat flow is measured in J s or Watt s W . These are the units we will use in this course. However, before the relationship between heat and other energy was understood, special units were used, and these are still in use today. a) The calorie [b) The mean calorie c) 1 kilogram-calorie or kilocalorie = 1000 calories. 1 calorie = 4.186 J 1 kilocalorie (often written C alorie!!) = 4186 J The specific heat c , of a substance is equal to the quantity of heat which must be supplied to unit mass of the material to increase its temperature by 1 degree with no change of state. Therefore where Q is the quantity of heat, m is the mass of the body and T the temperature change. or Q m c T The units of specific heat are J kg K (or cal g The heat capacity or thermal capacity of an object is the quantity of heat which must be supplied to it to raise its temperature by 1 degree. Its units are J K . If the mass of the object is m obj and its specific heat c obj , then the thermal capacity is simply equal to m obj c obj Another term you might meet is the water equivalent of an object. This is the mass of water with the same heat capacity as the object.
