Study Notes
Energy and Energy Transfer
- Energy: The ability to cause change. Cannot be seen, but its effects can be felt.
- Electric Energy: Energy carried by currents.
-
Potential Energy: Stored energy within an object.
- Types: Gravitational, elastic, chemical.
- Kinetic Energy: Energy due to motion.
- Nuclear Energy: Stored within an atom's nucleus.
- Radiant Energy: Energy that travels as waves.
- Mechanical Energy: Sum of potential and kinetic energy. Always equals 100%.
- Unit of Energy: Joules (J).
- Calculating Potential Energy: Mass * Gravity * Height
- Calculating Kinetic Energy: 0.5 * Mass * Velocity²
- Thermal Energy Transfer: Occurs through radiation, conduction, and convection. Heat flows from hot to cold until uniform.
- Relationship between Potential and Kinetic Energy: Opposites; one transforms into the other.
- Food Energy: Chemical energy.
- Photosynthesis Transformation: Radiant energy to chemical energy.
- ATP Energy: Energy cells receive from food.
- Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed.
- Sun's Energy Source: Fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium.
- Comparing Kinetic Energy: Comparing the masses and velocities of objects. If one object is greater times the other then the other object has a greater kinetic energy.
Motion and Force
- Motion: Change in an object's position.
- Force: Push or pull.
- Work: Application of force causing movement in that direction.
- Work Formula: Work = Force * Distance
- Unit of Work: Joules (J).
Friction
- Friction: Force resisting two surfaces sliding past each other.
- Friction Factors: Rougher surfaces have more friction.
- Reducing Friction: Using lubricants like oil or grease.
