...the kinetic or in the potential form ? Davy said in 1812 : ' The immediate cause of the phenomenon of heat, then, is motion, and the laws of its communication...same as the laws of the communication of motion.' This in modern language is equivalent to the statement that heat is kinetic energy ; not evidently... | |

...stated plainly and precisely the real nature of heat, saying : " The immediate cause of the phenomenon of heat, then, is motion, and the laws of its communication...same as the laws of the communication of motion." Heat and mechanical force therefore are identical and convertible. Independently of the medium through... | |

...in the dictum : ' "The immediate cause of the phenomena of heat, then, as Lavoisier long ago stated, is motion, and the laws of its communication are precisely...same as the laws of the communication of motion." These essays of Rumford and Davy failed to produce, with a few rare exceptions, any perceptible effect... | |

The first of these propositions should now be amended in view of the doctrine of the Conservation of... | |

...scientific men. In 1812, Davy enounced that the direct cause of the phenomenon of heat is motion, and that the laws of its communication are precisely the same as the laws of the communication of motion. The researches into the radiation and absorption of heat mainly form the physical basis of Spectrum... | |
