Natural phenomena. Examples of explainable and inexplicable phenomena. Physical phenomena

In 1979, the Gorky People's University of Scientific and Technical Creativity released Methodological Materials for its new development " Complex method search for new technical solutions." We plan to introduce site readers to this interesting development, which in many ways was significantly ahead of its time. But today we offer you to familiarize yourself with a fragment of the third part of the teaching materials, published under the title "Arrays of Information". The list of physical effects proposed in it includes: there are only 127 positions. Currently 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 benefit is that at the input the solver had to indicate which function from those listed in the table it wants to provide and which type of energy it 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 that included teachers from Gorky People's University: M.I. Vainerman, 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 presented to the reader’s attention is compact, and therefore can be used as handouts in classes at public schools of technical creativity.

The world is diverse - no matter how banal this statement may be, it really is. Everything that happens in the world is under the close attention of scientists. They have known some things for a long time, others still need to be discovered. Man, a curious creature, has always tried to know the world and the changes taking place in it. Such changes in the surrounding world are called “physical phenomena”. These include rain, wind, lightning, rainbows, and other similar natural effects.

Changes in the world around us are numerous and varied. Curious people could not stay away without trying to find the answer to the question of what caused such interesting physical phenomena.

It all started with the process of observing the world around us, which led to the accumulation of data. But even simple observation of nature evoked certain thoughts. Many physical phenomena, while remaining unchanged, manifested themselves in different ways. For example: the sun rises at different times, it rains or snows from the sky, a thrown stick flies either far or close. Why is this happening?

The appearance of such questions becomes evidence of the gradual development of human perception of the world, the transition from contemplative observation to active study of the environment. It is clear that each changing, manifesting differently physical phenomenon only accelerated this active study. As a result, attempts to experimentally understand nature appeared.

The first experiments looked quite simple, for example: if you throw a stick like this, will it fly far? What if you throw the stick differently? This is already an experimental study of the behavior of a physical body in flight, a step towards establishing a quantitative connection between it and the conditions that cause this flight.

Of course, everything that has been said is a very simplified and primitive presentation of attempts to study the world around us. But, in any case, even if in a primitive form, it makes it possible to consider the occurring physical phenomena as the basis for the emergence and development of science.

In this case, it does not matter what kind of science it is. The basis of any cognition process is observation of what is happening, the accumulation of initial data. Let it be physics with its study of the surrounding world, let it be biology studying nature, astronomy trying to understand the Universe - in any case, the process will proceed the same.

The physical phenomena themselves may be different. To be more precise, their nature will be different: rain is caused by some reasons, a rainbow by others, lightning by others. It took a very long time in the history of human civilization to understand this fact.

The science of physics studies various natural phenomena and its laws. It was she who established a quantitative connection between the various properties of objects, or, as physicists say, bodies, and the essence of these phenomena.

During the study, special tools, research methods, and units of measurement appeared that made it possible to describe what was happening. Knowledge about the world around us expanded, the results obtained led to new discoveries, and new tasks were put forward. There was a gradual identification of new specialties involved in solving specific applied problems. This is how heat engineering, the science of electricity, optics, and many, many other areas of knowledge within physics itself began to appear - not to mention the fact that other sciences appeared that dealt with completely different problems. But in any case, it must be recognized that the observation and study of the phenomena of the surrounding world allowed, over time, the formation of numerous new branches of knowledge that contributed to the development of civilization.

As a result, a whole system of studying and mastering the world, the surrounding nature and man himself emerged - from simple observation of physical phenomena.

This material describes physical phenomena as the basis for the formation and education of science, in particular physics. An idea is given of how the development of science took place, its stages such as observation of what is happening, experimental verification of facts and conclusions, and formulation of laws are considered.

A phenomenon is any manifestation of something, as well as any change in the world around us. The meaning of this word is determined by the context, namely the adjective next to the term “phenomenon”. It is difficult to understand what this phenomenon is without examples, so we will give them.

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

Let us take a closer look at the term “Phenomenon” depending on the context.

What is a physical phenomenon

First of all, note that a physical phenomenon is a process, not a 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 the transformation of one substance into another does not occur. Its composition will remain the same, but its condition 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 associated with the metamorphoses of light rays. For example, a rainbow.
Magnetic phenomena. They arise 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 stars.

What are natural phenomena

Natural phenomena are considered to be 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. Thus, in one natural phenomenon one can count several physical phenomena. That is, the concept of “natural phenomenon” is broader. For example, a natural phenomenon such as a thunderstorm includes the following physical phenomena: the movement of clouds and rain (mechanical phenomena), lightning (electrical phenomenon), burning of 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 or evidence. Their existence goes beyond the understanding of the usual picture of the world. Examples of paranormal phenomena are: crying icons, the biofield of living beings.

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 understand the world? How does he explore natural phenomena, obtaining scientific knowledge about him?

A person receives his very first knowledge from observations behind nature.

To obtain the correct knowledge, sometimes simple observation is not enough and you need to carry out experiment – specially prepared experiment .

Experiments are carried out by scientists a predetermined 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 verified on facts established experimentally. An equally important way of knowing is theoretical description of the phenomenon . Physical theories make it possible to explain known phenomena and predict new, not yet discovered ones.

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, airplanes, celestial bodies, fluid flow).

2. Electrical phenomena (for example, electric current, heating of current-carrying conductors, electrification 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, reflection of light from mirrors, emission of light rays from various light sources).

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

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

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

Physical terms- these are special words that are used in physics for brevity, certainty and convenience.

Physical body– this is every object around us. (Showing physical bodies: pen, book, desk)

Substance- this is all that they are made of physical bodies. (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- these are changes that occur with physical bodies.

Physical quantities- these are the measurable properties of bodies or phenomena.

Physical devices– 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)

Basic:

Length - 1 m - (meter)

Time - 1 s - (second)

Weight - 1 kg - (kilogram)

Derivatives:

Volume - 1 m³ - (cubic meter)

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

In this expression:

number 10 - numerical value of time,

the letter “s” is an abbreviation for a unit of time (second),

and the combination of 10 s is the time value.

Prefixes to unit names:

To make it more convenient to measure physical quantities, in addition to the 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

About the world around us. In addition to ordinary curiosity, this was caused by practical needs. After all, for example, if you know how to lift
and move heavy stones, you will be able to build strong walls and build a house in which it is more convenient to live than in a cave or dugout. And if you learn to smelt metals from ores and make plows, scythes, axes, weapons, etc., you will be able to plow the field better and get a higher harvest, and in case of danger you will be able to protect your land.

In ancient times, there was only one science - it united all the knowledge about nature that humanity had accumulated by that time. Nowadays this science is called natural science.

Learning about physical science

Another example of an electromagnetic field is light. You will become familiar with some of the properties of light in Section 3.

3. Remembering physical phenomena

The matter around us is constantly changing. Some bodies move relative to each other, some of them collide and, possibly, collapse, others are formed from some bodies... The list of such changes can be continued and continued - it is not without reason that in ancient times the philosopher Heraclitus remarked: “Everything flows, everything changes.” Scientists call changes in the world around us, that is, in nature, a special term - phenomena.

Rice. 1.5. Examples of natural phenomena

Rice. 1.6. A complex natural phenomenon - a thunderstorm can be represented as a combination of a number of physical phenomena

Sunrise and sunset, a snow avalanche, a volcanic eruption, a horse running, a panther jumping - all these are examples of natural phenomena (Fig. 1.5).

To better understand complex natural phenomena, scientists divide them into a collection of physical phenomena - phenomena that can be described using physical laws.

In Fig. Figure 1.6 shows a set of physical phenomena that form a complex natural phenomenon - a thunderstorm. Thus, lightning - a huge electrical discharge - is an electromagnetic phenomenon. If lightning strikes a tree, it will flare up and begin to release heat - physicists in this case talk about a thermal phenomenon. The rumble of thunder and the crackle of flaming wood are sound phenomena.

Examples of some physical phenomena are given in the table. Take a look at the first row of the table, for example. What can be common between the flight of a rocket, the fall of a stone and the rotation of an entire planet? The answer is simple. All examples of phenomena given in this line are described by the same laws - the laws of mechanical motion. Using these laws, we can calculate the coordinates of any moving body (be it a stone, a rocket or a planet) at any point in time that interests us.

Rice. 1.7 Examples of electromagnetic phenomena

Each of you, taking off a sweater or combing your hair with a plastic comb, probably paid attention to the tiny sparks that appeared. Both these sparks and the mighty discharge of lightning belong to the same electromagnetic phenomena and, accordingly, are subject to the same laws. Therefore, you should not wait for a thunderstorm to study electromagnetic phenomena. It is enough to study how safe sparks behave to understand what to expect from lightning and how to avoid possible danger. For the first time such research was carried out by the American scientist B. Franklin (1706-1790), who invented an effective means of protection against lightning discharges - a lightning rod.

Having studied physical phenomena separately, scientists establish their relationship. Thus, a lightning discharge (an electromagnetic phenomenon) is necessarily accompanied by a significant increase in temperature in the lightning channel (a thermal phenomenon). The study of these phenomena in their interrelation made it possible not only to better understand the natural phenomenon of a thunderstorm, but also to find a way for the practical application of electromagnetic and thermal phenomena. Surely each of you, passing by a construction site, saw workers in protective masks and blinding flashes of electric welding. Electric welding (a method of joining metal parts using an electric discharge) is an example of the practical use of scientific research.

4. Determine what physics studies

Now that you have learned what matter and physical phenomena are, it is time to determine what the subject of physics is. This science studies: the structure and properties of matter; physical phenomena and their relationships.

let's sum it up

The world around us consists of matter. There are two types of matter: the substance from which all physical bodies are made, and the field.

Changes are constantly taking place in the world that surrounds us. These changes are called phenomena. Thermal, light, mechanical, sound, electromagnetic phenomena- all these are examples of physical phenomena.

The subject of physics is the structure and properties of matter, physical phenomena and their relationships.

Control questions

What does physics study? Give examples of physical phenomena. Can events that occur in a dream or imagination be considered physical phenomena? 4. What substances do the following bodies consist of: textbook, pencil, soccer ball, glass, car? What physical bodies can consist of glass, metal, wood, plastic?
