Physical phenomena that occur with physical bodies. Interesting facts about physics

Everything that surrounds us: both animate and inanimate nature, is in constant motion and is constantly changing: planets and stars move, it rains, trees grow. And a person, as we know from biology, constantly goes through some stages of development. Grinding grains into flour, falling stones, boiling water, lightning, glowing light bulbs, dissolving sugar in tea, moving vehicles, lightning, rainbows are examples of physical phenomena.

And with substances (iron, water, air, salt, etc.) various changes or phenomena occur. The substance can be crystallized, melted, crushed, dissolved and again separated from the solution. However, its composition will remain the same.

So, granulated sugar can be ground into a powder so fine that at the slightest breath it will rise into the air like dust. Sugar specks can only be seen under a microscope. Sugar can be divided into even smaller parts by dissolving it in water. If water is evaporated from the sugar solution, the sugar molecules will again combine with each other into crystals. But when dissolved in water, and when crushed, sugar remains sugar.

In nature, water forms rivers and seas, clouds and glaciers. During evaporation, water turns into steam. Water vapor is water in the gaseous state. When exposed low temperatures(below 0˚С) water turns into a solid state - it turns into ice. The smallest particle of water is a water molecule. The water molecule is also the smallest particle of steam or ice. Water, ice and steam are not different substances, but the same substance (water) in different states of aggregation.

Like water, other substances can also be transferred from one state of aggregation to another.

Characterizing this or that substance as a gas, liquid or solid, they mean the state of matter in normal conditions. Any metal can not only be melted (translated into a liquid state), but also turned into a gas. But this requires very high temperatures. In the outer shell of the Sun, metals are in a gaseous state, because the temperature there is 6000 ° C. And, for example, carbon dioxide by cooling it can be turned into "dry ice".

Phenomena in which there is no transformation of one substance into another are referred to as physical phenomena. Physical phenomena can lead to a change, for example, in the state of aggregation or temperature, but the composition of substances will remain the same.

All physical phenomena can be divided into several groups.

Mechanical phenomena are phenomena that occur with physical bodies when they move relative to each other (the revolution of the Earth around the Sun, the movement of cars, the flight of a parachutist).

Electrical phenomena are phenomena that arise during the appearance, existence, movement and interaction of electric charges (electric current, telegraphy, lightning during a thunderstorm).

Magnetic phenomena are phenomena associated with the occurrence of magnetic properties in physical bodies (attraction of iron objects by a magnet, turning the compass needle to the north).

Optical phenomena are phenomena that occur during the propagation, refraction and reflection of light (rainbow, mirages, reflection of light from a mirror, the appearance of a shadow).

Thermal phenomena are phenomena that occur when physical bodies are heated and cooled (melting snow, boiling water, fog, freezing water).

Atomic phenomena are phenomena that occur when the internal structure of the substance of physical bodies changes (the glow of the Sun and stars, an atomic explosion).

In 1979, Gorky People's University scientifically - technical creativity published methodological materials for his new development "Integrated Method for Searching for New Technical Solutions". We plan to acquaint the readers of the site with this interesting development, which in many ways was far ahead of its time. But today we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a fragment of the third part of the methodological materials, published under the name "Arrays of information". The list of physical effects proposed in it includes only 127 positions. Now specialized computer programs offer more detailed versions of physical effects indexes, but for a user who is still "not covered" by software support, the table of applications of physical effects created in Gorky is of interest. Its practical use lies in the fact that at the input the solver had to indicate which function from those listed in the table he wants to provide and which type of energy he plans to use (as they would say now - indicate resources). The numbers in the cells of the table are the numbers of physical effects in the list. Each physical effect is provided with references to literary sources (unfortunately, almost all of them are currently bibliographic rarities).
The work was carried out by a team, which included teachers from the Gorky People's University: M.I. Weinerman, B.I. Goldovsky, V.P. Gorbunov, L.A. Zapolyansky, V.T. Korelov, V.G. Kryazhev, A.V. Mikhailov, A.P. Sokhin, Yu.N. Shelomok. The material offered to the reader's attention is compact, and therefore can be used as a handout in the classroom in public schools of technical creativity.

A phenomenon is any manifestation of something, as well as any change in the world around us. Meaning given word determined by the context, namely the adjective, standing next to with the term "phenomenon". It is difficult to understand what a phenomenon is without examples, so we will give them.

  • A change in the state of aggregation of a substance can be considered a physical phenomenon.
  • In this area, there are such unusual natural phenomena as petrified waves.
  • He was frightened by something that could be called a paranormal phenomenon.

Let us consider in more detail the term "Phenomenon" depending on the context.

What is a physical phenomenon

First of all, note that a physical phenomenon is a process, not the result of something. This is the process of ongoing changes in the state or position of physical systems. Remember that a physical phenomenon is one in which there is no transformation of one substance into another. Its composition will remain the same, but the state or position will change.

Physical phenomena are classified as follows:

  • electrical phenomena. They involve electric charges. For example, lightning, electric current.
  • mechanical phenomena. The movement will be relative to each other. For example, the movement of cars on the road.
  • Thermal phenomena. They are associated with changes in body temperature. For example, melting snow.
  • Optical phenomena. They are connected with the metamorphoses of the rays of light. For example, a rainbow.
  • magnetic phenomena. Occur when magnetic properties appear in an object. For example, a compass with an arrow pointing north.
  • Atomic Phenomena. Occur during metamorphoses in the internal structure of matter. For example, the glow of the stars.

What are natural phenomena

Natural phenomena are considered climatic and meteorological manifestations of nature that occur naturally. Rain, snow, storm, earthquake are all examples of natural phenomena.

It is important to understand what a natural phenomenon is and how it is interconnected with physical phenomena. So, in one natural phenomenon, several physical phenomena can be counted. That is, the concept a natural phenomenon"more extensive. For example, such a natural phenomenon as a thunderstorm includes the following physical phenomena: the movement of clouds and rain (mechanical phenomena), lightning (electrical phenomenon), burning a tree from a lightning strike (thermal phenomenon).

What is paranormal activity

When they talk about a paranormal phenomenon, they mean any changes in the surrounding reality that are not the norm, an ordinary phenomenon. They have no scientific explanation, no evidence. Their existence goes beyond understanding the usual picture of the world. Examples of paranormal phenomena are: crying icons, the biofield of living beings.

We are surrounded by an infinitely diverse world of substances and phenomena.

It is constantly changing.

Any changes that occur to bodies are called phenomena. The birth of stars, the change of day and night, the melting of ice, the swelling of buds on trees, the flashing of lightning during a thunderstorm, and so on - all these are natural phenomena.

physical phenomena

Recall that bodies are made up of substances. Note that in some phenomena the substances of bodies do not change, while in others they change. For example, if you tear a piece of paper in half, then, despite the changes that have occurred, the paper will remain paper. If the paper is burned, it will turn into ashes and smoke.

Phenomena in which the size, shape of bodies, the state of substances can change, but substances remain the same, do not change into others, are called physical phenomena(evaporation of water, the glow of an electric bulb, the sound of strings musical instrument etc.).

Physical phenomena are extremely diverse. Among them are distinguished mechanical, thermal, electrical, lighting and etc.

Let's remember how clouds float across the sky, an airplane flies, a car drives, an apple falls, a cart rolls, etc. In all of these phenomena, objects (bodies) move. Phenomena associated with a change in the position of a body in relation to other bodies are called mechanical(translated from the Greek "mehane" means machine, tool).

Many phenomena are caused by the change of heat and cold. In this case, the properties of the bodies themselves change. They change shape, size, the state of these bodies changes. For example, when heated, ice turns into water, water into steam; When the temperature drops, steam turns into water, water into ice. The phenomena associated with the heating and cooling of bodies are called thermal(Fig. 35).


Rice. 35. Physical phenomenon: the transition of matter from one state to another. If you freeze drops of water, ice will reappear

Consider electrical phenomena. The word "electricity" comes from the Greek word "electron" - amber. Remember that when you quickly take off your woolen sweater, you hear a slight crackle. If you do the same in complete darkness, you will also see sparks. This is the simplest electrical phenomenon.

To get acquainted with another electrical phenomenon, do the following experiment.

Tear off small pieces of paper and place them on the table surface. Comb clean and dry hair with a plastic comb and bring it to the pieces of paper. What happened?


Rice. 36. Small pieces of paper are attracted to the comb

Bodies that are capable of attracting light objects after rubbing are called electrified(Fig. 36). Lightning during thunderstorms, auroras, electrification of paper and synthetic fabrics - all these are electrical phenomena. Operation of telephone, radio, TV, various household appliances are examples of human use of electrical phenomena.

Phenomena that are associated with light are called light. Light comes from the sun, stars, lamps, and some living things, such as fireflies. Such bodies are called luminous.

We see when light hits the retina. We cannot see in absolute darkness. Objects that do not themselves emit light (for example, trees, grass, the pages of this book, etc.) are visible only when they receive light from some luminous body and reflect it from their surface.

The moon, which we often speak of as a night star, is in reality only a kind of reflector of sunlight.

By studying the physical phenomena of nature, man has learned to use them in Everyday life, life.

1. What does physics study. Some physical terms. Observations and experiments. Physical quantities. Measurement of physical quantities. Accuracy and error of measurements.

Physics is the science of the most general properties of bodies and phenomena.

How does a person know the world? How does he investigate the phenomena of nature, obtaining scientific knowledge about it?

The very first knowledge a person receives from observations behind nature.

To get the right knowledge, sometimes simple observation is not enough and you need to conduct experiment - a specially prepared experiment .

Experiments are carried out by scientists premeditated plan with a specific purpose .

During the experiments measurements are taken using special instruments of physical quantities. Examples physical quantities are: distance, volume, speed, temperature.

So, the source of physical knowledge is observations and experiments.

Physical laws are based and tested on the facts established empirically. An equally important way of knowing theoretical description of the phenomenon . Physical theories make it possible to explain known phenomena and predict new ones that have not yet been discovered.

Changes that occur with bodies are called physical phenomena.

Physical phenomena are divided into several types.

Types of physical phenomena:

1. Mechanical phenomena (for example, the movement of cars, aircraft, celestial bodies, fluid flow).

2. Electrical phenomena (for example, electric current, heating of conductors with current, electrization of bodies).

3. Magnetic phenomena (for example, the effect of magnets on iron, the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on a compass needle).

4. Optical phenomena (for example, the reflection of light from mirrors, the emission of light rays from various sources Sveta).

5. Thermal phenomena (melting of ice, boiling of water, thermal expansion of bodies).

6. Atomic phenomena (for example, the operation of nuclear reactors, the decay of nuclei, processes occurring inside stars).

7. Sound phenomena (bell ringing, music, thunder, noise).

Physical terms are special words used in physics for brevity, definiteness and convenience.

Physical body is every object that surrounds us. (Showing physical bodies: pen, book, school desk)

Substance It is everything that physical bodies are made of. (Showing physical bodies consisting of different substances)

Matter- this is everything that exists in the Universe regardless of our consciousness (celestial bodies, plants, animals, etc.)

physical phenomena are changes that occur to physical bodies.

Physical quantities are the measurable properties of bodies or phenomena.

Physical Instruments- These are special devices that are designed to measure physical quantities and conduct experiments.


Physical quantities:
height h, mass m, path s, speed v, time t, temperature t, volume V, etc.

Units of measurement of physical quantities:

International system of units SI:

(international system)


Main:

Length - 1 m - (meter)

Time - 1 s - (second)

Weight - 1 kg - (kilogram)

Derivatives:

Volume - 1 m³ - (cubic meter)

Velocity - 1 m/s - (meter per second)


In this expression:

the number 10 is the numerical value of the time,

the letter "s" is an abbreviation for the unit of time (seconds),

and the combination of 10 s is the time value.

Prefixes to unit names:

To make it easier to measure physical quantities, in addition to basic units, multiple units are used, which are in 10, 100, 1000, etc. more basic

g - hecto (×100) k - kilo (× 1000) M - mega (× 1000 000)

1 km (kilometer) 1 kg (kilogram)

1 km = 1000 m = 10³ m 1 kg = 1000 g = 10³ g
