... 18c. Work . ... The concept of Work is closely related to that of energy. ... Suppose we lift a weight A of mass m a distance h (for height) from the floor to the table (Figure 1). ... That, however, is just the potential energy added to the weight! ... Energy is always preserved but--as seen in an earlier section--not always in a usable form. ... Because the trains are linked, when one goes up, the other descends, and by giving up its potential energy, it helps pull the other one upwards. ...

... The collecting area is increased by nesting concentric mirror pairs, all having the same focal length. ... Figure shows the largest optical element being ground at HDOS. ... X-ray testing demonstrated that the CXO mirrors are indeed the largest high-resolution X-ray optics ever made; the nominal effective area (based on the ground calibrations) is shown as a function of energy in the left panel of Figure , along with those of their Einstein and ROSAT predecessors. ...

. An on-axis observation has revealed that this structure is actually two point sources . We are investigating if they are physically connected, and if there is a problem with the PSF analysis we previously performed on the far off-axis image.
