The article presents the fundamentals of the cosmic geophysics (representing the deterministic thermohydrogravidynamic theory intended for earthquakes prediction) based on the author's generalized differential formulation of the first law of thermodynamics extending the classical Gibbs' formulation by taking into account (along with the classical infinitesimal change of heatδQand the classical infinitesimal change of the internal energydUτ) the infinitesimal increment of the macroscopic kinetic energydKτ, the infinitesimal increment of the gravitational potential energydπτ, the generalized expression for the infinitesimal workδAnp,∂τdone by the nonpotential terrestrial stress forces (determined by the symmetric stress tensorT) acting on the boundary of the continuum regionτ, and the infinitesimal incrementdGof energy due to the cosmic and terrestrial nonstationary energy gravitational influence on the continuum regionτduring the infinitesimal timedt. Based on the established generalized differential formulation of the first law of thermodynamics, the author explains the founded cosmic energy gravitational genesis of the strong Chinese 2008 and the strong Japanese 2011 earthquakes.

The article presents (on October 12, 2017) the prediction (made on 9 August, 2017) of the established global prediction thermohydrogravidynamic principle (of the developed thermohydrogravidynamic theory based on the author’s generalization of the first law of thermodynamics for non-stationary cosmic gravitation) concerning the strongest intensifications of the seismotectonic and climatic processes in California (since 9 August, 2017 and before 3 March, 2018) determined by the maximal (near 7 November, 2017) combined integral energy gravitational influence on the internal rigid core of the Earth (and on the Earth as a whole) of the planets (Mercury,  Venus,  Mars and Jupiter) and  the Sun due to the gravitational interactions of the Sun with Jupiter  Saturn,  Uranus and Neptune. The prediction is based on the established global prediction thermohydrogravidynamic principle (used for the considered real planetary configurations of the Earth and the planets of the Solar System during the range 2004  - 2017) and on the statistical analysis of the previous strongest (according to the U.S. Geological Survey) earthquakes occurred in California near the calculated dates of the local maximal combined planetary and solar integral energy gravitational influences (during the range 2004   2016) on the internal rigid core of the Earth.

The article presents (on 28 February, 2017) the prediction (made on 25 February, 2018) of the established global prediction thermohydrogravidynamic principle (of the developed thermohydrogravidynamic theory containing the cosmic geophysics and the cosmic seismology based on the author’s generalization of the first law of thermodynamics for non-stationary cosmic gravitation of the Solar System and our Galaxy) concerning the first subrange (in 2018) of the strongest intensifications (since 26 February and before 24 August, 2018) of the global seismotectonic, volcanic, climatic and magnetic processes of the Earth determined by the minimal  (in 2018 near 26 May, 2018) combined integral energy gravitational influence on the internal rigid core of the Earth (and on the Earth as a whole) of the planets (Mercury,  Venus,  Mars and Jupiter) and  the Sun due to the gravitational interactions of the Sun with Jupiter  Saturn,  Uranus and Neptune.

Abstract The video of a free-falling object was analysed in Tracker in order to extract the position and time data. On the basis of these data, the velocity, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and the work done by gravity were obtained. These led to a rather simultaneous validation of the conservation law of energy and the work–energy theorem. The superimposed plots of the kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and the total energy as respective functions of time and position demonstrate energy conservation quite well. The same results were observed from the plots of the potential energy against the kinetic energy. On the other hand, the work–energy theorem has emerged from the plot of the total work-done against the change in kinetic energy. Because of the accessibility of the setup, the current work is seen as suitable for a home-based activity, during these times of the pandemic in particular in which online learning has remained to be the format in some countries. With the guidance of a teacher, online or face-to-face, students in their junior or senior high school—as well as for those who are enrolled in basic physics in college—will be able to benefit from this work.

Walking humans conserve mechanical and, presumably, metabolic energy with an inverted pendulum-like exchange of gravitational potential energy and horizontal kinetic energy. Walking in simulated reduced gravity involves a relatively high metabolic cost, suggesting that the inverted-pendulum mechanism is disrupted because of a mismatch of potential and kinetic energy. We tested this hypothesis by measuring the fluctuations and exchange of mechanical energy of the center of mass at different combinations of velocity and simulated reduced gravity. Subjects walked with smaller fluctuations in horizontal velocity in lower gravity, such that the ratio of horizontal kinetic to gravitational potential energy fluctuations remained constant over a fourfold change in gravity. The amount of exchange, or percent recovery, at 1.00 m/s was not significantly different at 1.00, 0.75, and 0.50 G (average 64.4%), although it decreased to 48% at 0.25 G. As a result, the amount of work performed on the center of mass does not explain the relatively high metabolic cost of walking in simulated reduced gravity.

AbstractWe collected 27 outflows from the literature and found 8 new ones in the FCRAO CO maps of the Taurus molecular cloud. The total kinetic energy of the 35 outflows is found to be about 3% of the gravitational potential energy from the whole cloud. The feedback effect due to the outflows is minor in Taurus.

As discussed in Chapter 4 and illustrated in Figure 4.1, close to 50% of the solar energy intercepted by the Earth is absorbed at the surface. Approximately half of this energy, 78 W m– 2, is used to evaporate water, mainly from the ocean. What this means is that evaporation of water accounts for as much as a third of the total solar energy absorbed by the Earth (atmosphere plus surface). The atmosphere has a limited ability to retain this water. Evaporation is balanced in close to real time by precipitation. A portion of this precipitation reaches the surface in regions elevated with respect to sea level— in mountainous locations, for example. It is endowed in this case with what we refer to as potential energy (Chapter 4). This potential energy can be stored (in lakes or dams, for instance), or it can be released, converted to kinetic energy (directed motion) as the water flows downhill on its return to the ocean. And along the way, energy can be captured and channeled to perform useful work. An early application involved exploiting the power of running water to turn a flat stone, one of two that constituted the apparatus used to grind grain, the other remaining stationary during the grinding process. The Domesday Book records that by AD 1086 as many as 5,624 water mills were operational in England south of the River Trent, deployed not just to grind grain but for a multitude of other tasks, including, but not confined to, sawing wood, crushing ore, and pumping the bellows of industrial furnaces (Derry and Williams 1960). Later, running water would provide the motive force for the textile industry that marked the beginning of the industrial age in North America, specifically in New England (Steinberg 1991; McElroy 2010). The most important contemporary application of water power involves the generation of electricity, the bulk of which is obtained by tapping the potential energy stored in high- altitude dams, a lesser fraction from the kinetic energy supplied by free- flowing streams (what is referred to as run- of- the- river sources).

AbstractWe study effects of the strange quark mass,ms, and of the QCD interactions, calculated to lowest order inαc, on the rapid rotation of strange stars (SS). The influence of rotation on global parameters of SS is greater than in the case of the neutron stars (NS). We show that independently ofmsandαcthe ratio of the rotational kinetic energy to the absolute value of the gravitational potential energyT/Wfor a rotating SS is significantly higher than for an ordinary NS. This might indicate that rapidly rotating SS could be important sources of gravitational waves.

We study the effects of a differential rotation upon the determination of the v sin i parameter. The effects are studied for several values of the ratio t = kinetic energy/gravitational potential energy, which include energy ratios higher than permitted for critical rigid rotation and using an internal conservative rotation law that allows for a latitudinal differential rotation in the stellar surface. Two effects are outstanding: when differential rotation is dependent on the stellar latitude the v sin i parameter does not necessarily correspond to the equatorial rotation velocity; the line width is a double valued function of v sin i and it is dependent on t and the aspect angle i.
