Study Notes
Key Concepts
- Energy causes changes in a system.
- Energy exists in various forms.
- Energy can be transferred or transformed.
- Physical quantities contribute to various forms of energy.
Curricular Competencies
- Make observations to identify questions about the natural world.
- Use scientific knowledge to draw conclusions that are consistent with evidence.
- Generate and introduce new or refined ideas.
Properties of Energy
- Perpetual motion machines are machines that run forever.
- Leonardo da Vinci designed perpetual motion machines.
- Energy is never lost, but only transferred or transformed.
- Perpetual motion machines are impossible to create.
- Many people have tried to build them.
Energy and Systems
- A system is anything that is under observation.
- Surroundings are everything that is not part of the system.
- Universe = system + surroundings
Different Forms of Energy
- Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
- Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or condition.
- Examples of potential energy include chemical potential energy, gravitational potential energy, and elastic potential energy.
- Examples of kinetic energy are mechanical kinetic energy, Electrical kinetic energy, sound energy, and radiant energy.
Energy Transfer and Transformation
- Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed from one form to another or transferred from one object to another.
- The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy before transformation/transfer equals the total energy after.
- Energy transformation is never 100% efficient. Some energy becomes unusable.
Types of Systems
- Open systems exchange both energy and matter with their surroundings.
- Closed systems exchange only energy with their surroundings.
- Isolated systems exchange neither energy nor matter with their surroundings.
Physical Quantities Contributing to Energy
- The mass and velocity of an object affect its mechanical kinetic energy.
- The mass, acceleration due to gravity, and height of an object affect its gravitational potential energy.
