Difference between thermal energy and mechanical energy?

Mechanical energy concentrates on an object as a whole, and thermal energy concentrates on an object's actions. Additionally, Thermal energy depends on temperature and mechanical energy depends on kinetic and potential energy.


What is conventional sign?

That means to consistently use "positive" for one thing and "negative" for the opposite. For example, north may be called positive, and south may be called negative. Precisely because signs might also be used the opposite way, a sign convention means that - for the purpose of a certain exercise, for example - a certain direction is chosen as positive. Another example is electrical charges, where one of the two charges is arbitrarily called "positive". They might just as well be labeled the opposite way, but the sign convention has been used for so long that nobody would seriously suggest changing it.


How do control rods stop a fission reaction?

Control rods have a large neutron absorption cross section. That means that they slow down, absorb, and effectively stop neutrons. In order to sustain a fission reaction, you need a certain number of neutrons of a certain energy interacting with fissile material at a certain rate so that everything is in equilibrium. When you insert the control rods, you bring the core geometry to a sub-critical state, what we call KEffective < 1, and the fission reaction stops.


Explain why clothes dried in a dryer often stick together?

It's called 'static electricity' ... certain fabrics are attracted to each other. This is because some of the clothes have gained electrons by rubbing against other clothes. The clothes losing electrons become positive. The negative clothes are attracted to the positive clothes.


Why does negative charge move and not positive?

An isolated positive and negative can move for example in an electric or magnetic field. But in metals only the electrons can move since the positive charge is bound to the metal lattice by attractive forces.

How can infinity be named infinity if it is undefinable?

In-finity or in-finite means not finite, not ending. It can certain be defined; there are different definitions for infinity. Better look up "infinity" in Wikipedia; because actually, infinity has different meanings in different contexts; even in math there are different meanings, depending on the context.


What is isostatic equilibrium?

Isostatic equilibrium is the balance between Earth's crust and the layer of mantle it floats on. The denser the crust is, the more it sinks into the mantle. Equilibrium is achieved when the crust floats at a certain level in the mantle.


What is solubility equilibrium?

Equilibrium solubility is how much of a certain solute is in solution when the system has reached equilibrium. For example, when something like silver chloride (AgCl) is placed in water, none of it goes into solution. But given some time, an equilibrium will be reached where a small amount of AgCl is in solution and is in equilibrium with the insoluble AgCl.


What does infinity equal?

Infinity does not equal anything because it is not a numerical entity. Infinity is a concept used to describe extremely high values, or the tendency of a function to output extremely large values as the input approaches a certain value. To get more informations on the concept of infinity, see "limits".
