Keeping the power moving to houses and businesses is the job of the power plant operator. Whether the power comes from hyrdroelectric, nuclear, or coal energy, the power plant operator needs to know how to keep the turbines moving. This...

With the increasing use of nuclear technology in medicine, energy, and even agriculture, there is a need for monitoring radiation exposure. That is the job of the nuclear monitoring technician. Science Buddies offers a career profile...

Find out about the career as a nuclear power reactor operator. This Science Buddies site lays out the requirements needed to become an operator at a nuclear power plant, as well as the education and job description. Included are...

This physics tutorial aims to model and predict not the motion of just one object, but rather what happens when two or more objects collide. The concept of momentum will be the main focus of this module.

Physics students find out how to effectively define and clarify kinetic and potential energy.

In this unit, students will discover the period of time of one oscillation, the frequency of oscillation, the object displacement, its velocity, and its acceleration. They will also discover how to apply the principles of conservation of...

An interesting and detailed discussion of negative energy, how its existence has been proven, and its possible future application in making interstellar space travel possible.

This module is the introduction to model rotational motion. All of the concepts are conveniently recast into forms that have the same mathematical forms as their translational counterparts.

This article from Khan Academy provides information about dielectrics. This information is intended for the Class 12 Physics Course (India).

Students learn about the conservation of energy, aspects that affect energy in a system such as pressure and temperature, and to gain a better understanding of concepts such as entropy.

Described is a simple low cost home-made device that converts the radio wave energy from a mobile phone signal into electricity to light an LED. No battery or complex circuitry is required. The device can form the basis of a range of...
