Energy and Work.

Energy ana W0rk~
 eWhat becomes of the energy of mo- ton of a street car when suddenly stopped ?"
 Law-mass multiplied by velocity equals momentum. The mass of the car in pounds or tons multiplied by it's specific speed in feet per second gives a product named foot pounds or foot toms. This momentum is expended at the instant of collision or impact in de- Hvering a blow, as in the case of a cannon ball. If the body receiving the impact is movable part of the momen- turn will appear in it as motion. If Immovable the car will be smashed or move backward And the molecules of the matter at point of impact will be increased in temperature and also be moved somewhat. This requires en- ergy, and wor.z has been accomplished from instant of collision until rest ob- taIns. The answer is the energy of momentum is transformed into work Edgar Isucien Larlin in New York American
