knowledge. We estimate that Democritus wrote about 70 different works, but only a few of them have sur- vived to this day. The majority of his works are about mathematics, biology, sociology, geography, astronomy [...] matter and modern science.” Democritus, like many of his contemporaries, did not leave behind written works. However, from the messages of later Greek authors, we know with some certainty that he was born around [...] although he de- scribed some of his views. It is believed that Plato even wanted to burn Democritus’ works, but the followers of the Pythagorean cult (Cleinias and Amyclas) prevented this from happening. Aristotle

………………………………………………………………………………… Activity 4 The formula W=m.g.h is used for the calculation of the work produced through the fall of a body with a mass of m. The mass is measured in kg, where g expresses [...] the constant height from which bodies fall measured in m. We will use it in order to calculate the work produced during the fall of the weights of the device. The heat produced in the cylinder with the [...] evolved various experimental settings were used, new methods were applied and the relation between work and heat was calculated as can be seen in the table below: Table 3 W=4,2 (Joule/cal) x Q .
