Mean Free Path
The mean free path or average distance between collisions for a gas molecule may be estimated from kinetic theory.
Equipartition Of Energy

The Flea, the Catapult, and the Bow
How fleas and catapults and other similar devices and animals use elastic energy storage devices to convert slow muscle energy into faster kinetic energy.
Work, Energy and Power
Concepts of work, kinetic energy and potential energy are discussed in this simple introduction.
Marcel Louis Brillouin
Marcel Louis Brillouin (1854 - 1948) research focused on kinetic theory of gases, viscosity, thermodynamics, melting conditions and electricity.
Energy Matters
A series of articles on Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy, Relativity, Work, Fossil Fuels, Nuclear, Hydroelectric, Biomass, Wind and Geothermal power. The site uses text and colour illustrations and ...
Elastic Collision
An elastic collision is defined as one in which both conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy are observed.
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1811 - 1894) showed that the assumption that work could not continually be produced from nothing led to the conservation of kinetic energy.
