Power in physics is understood as the ratio of the work done in a certain time to the time interval for which it is performed. Under the mechanical work is meant the quantitative component of the impact of force on the body, due to which the latter moves in space. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

One of the most famous American chemists is Linus Pauling. His biography is of interest not only to residents of the United States, but also to people around the world. No wonder, because he researched vitamins - dietary supplements so popular today. And I must say, Linus Carl Pauling came up with interesting results. It is about this scientist, who became the winner of two Nobel Prizes, that we will talk about today. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

The sun plays an important role for us on Earth. It provides the planet and everything on it with vital factors such as light and heat. But what is solar radiation, the spectrum of sunlight, how does all this affect us and the global climate in general?. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Talcott Parsons (1902-1979) occupies a prominent place in the history of sociology. Thanks to the activities of this professor at Harvard University, this discipline was brought to the international level. Parsons created a special style of thinking, which is characterized by the belief in the leading role of scientific knowledge, reduced to building systems and systematizing data.

The movement of different bodies in space in physics is studied by a special section - mechanics. The latter, in turn, is divided into kinematics and dynamics. In this article, we will consider the laws of mechanics in physics, focusing on the dynamics of the translational and rotational movement of bodies. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

One of the basic physical principles of the interaction of solid bodies is the law of inertia, formulated by the great Isaac Newton. We encounter this concept almost constantly, since it has an extremely great influence on all material objects of our world, including humans. In turn, such a physical quantity as the moment of inertia is inextricably linked with the law mentioned above, determining the strength and duration of its impact on solid bodies.

The stratosphere is one of the upper layers of the air shell of our planet. It starts at an altitude of about 11 km above the ground. Passenger aircraft no longer fly here and clouds rarely form. The Earth's ozone layer is located in the stratosphere - a thin shell that protects the planet from the penetration of harmful ultraviolet radiation. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Is there information in inanimate nature, if we do not take into account the various techniques created by man? The answer to this question depends on the definition of the concept itself. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

The Earth's mantle is the part of the geosphere located between the crust and the core. It contains a large proportion of the entire substance of the planet. The study of the mantle is important not only in terms of understanding the internal structure of the Earth. It can shed light on the formation of the planet, give access to rare compounds and rocks, help understand the mechanism of earthquakes and the movement of lithospheric plates. However, obtaining information about the composition and features of the mantle is not easy. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

It's hard to say when a person first wondered if he was alone in the universe. But you can determine the time when the search for an answer to this question moved from the pages of science fiction novels to science - the middle of the last century, the beginning of the space age.

The closest planet to us has a very beautiful name, but the surface of Venus makes it clear that in fact there is nothing in her character that would remind of the goddess of love. Sometimes this planet is called the twin sister of the Earth. However, the only thing we have in common is similar sizes. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

The energy of the Sun has an ambiguous effect on our planet. It gives us warmth, but at the same time it can negatively affect people's well-being. One of the reasons for the negative impact is solar flares. How do they happen? What are the consequences?. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

Time does not stand still and the language is subject to the so-called "clogging". A lot of new, and, in fact, unnecessary borrowed foreign words, jargon and parasitic words have appeared. The issue of ecology has long been of concern to mankind in all its spheres. It is very important to preserve not only the environment, but also the purity of Russian speech, which, like nature, is also littered with unnecessary "garbage". Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

The organ of balance is hidden in the inner ear, which constantly registers the position and movement of the human body, helping to maintain balance. How terrible the feeling of losing balance is known to everyone who has suffered seasickness or rode the carousel for too long. The world begins to stagger and spin, and nothing can be done - it remains only to lie down and wait until everything falls into place. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

The world will enter the era of human genetic programming during our lifetime. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01

If you tabulate the hypotheses of the origin of life on Earth, invented at different times, A4 sheet is not enough for it, so many different options and theories have been developed by people for a long time. The three main and largest groups of assumptions are the connection with the divine essence, natural evolution and cosmic settlement. Each option has followers and opponents, but the main scientific option is the theory of biochemistry. Last modified: 2025-01-23 12:01
