DISPLACIVE CROSSLINKINGIN MATERIAL KINETIC ENERGY CHANGES:TEACHING AND THEORY ABOUTTHE MEANING OF ENERGYLAWS REVISITED

Publications and textbooks on energy laws are centuries old, but isolated numerical equations eliminate context and significance for non-experts. Hence, the objective of this work is to bring material and energy meaning to the forefront of laws. Specifically, instructive demonstrations, rationales, diagrams, and generally applicable mathematics are presented. Summarily: (1) Energy, associated with movement, requires relevant quantity of matter with mass (M), here simply called construct. In particular, a construct with velocity (V) ≠0 has available kinetic energy (KE) for potential “transfer” to another. (2) Any suitable construct consists of nominally external constructs arranged in counter-opposing (limit-attraction) configuration to a level lower than the potential KE/M maximum. (3) Displacive crosslinking (discrossing), i.e., reaction, represents a collision-like interference, possible with two or more continuous layers of matter under opposing movement distributions. Consequently, a driver(1)-to-load(2) relationship gives rise to acceleration (a) = ∆V/∆t ≠0 at all relevant intervals of space/time until cessation (a = 0). Relationally, ∆KE1/∆t = -∆KE2/∆t and M1 (a1) = M2 (-a2) = force. Moreover, on collision-like displacements, proximal layer driver-to-load repeats (playdlreps), i.e., waves, may be generated. (4) Theoretically, a stable construct may contain mass-negligible driving constituents moving along opposing paths to counter-oppose their respective contributions in displacement. These constituents are proposed to be the basis of energy fields (e.g., gravitational), consisting of ejected materialets with recirculating trajectory (EMARETs). (5) There may be KE gain-loss (driver-to-load) and/or gain-gain (driver-to-driver) relationships without change in the total mass or energy.
