Study Notes
Types of Energy
- Kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, electrical energy, solar energy, and chemical energy are examples of different energy forms.
Conservation of Energy
- The principle of conservation states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred or transformed.
- Total energy in the universe remains constant, indicating its amount does not change.
- Energy transfer can occur when one object impacts another, such as billiard balls colliding.
- Light bulbs transform electrical energy into light and heat.
Energy Transfer Methods
- Energy transfer can occur through heating or doing work.
- Heating transfers thermal energy to an object.
- Doing work involves a force acting on an object, associated with displacement in the direction of the force.
Work
- Work is calculated as ( W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos(\theta) ).
- The SI unit for work is Joule (J).
- 1 J is the work done when a 1 N force moves an object 1 meter.
- When force varies with displacement, work can be estimated using the area under the force-displacement graph.
- Work done on an object equals the increase in its energy.
Kinetic Energy
- Kinetic energy ((E_k)) is defined by the equation ( E_k = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 ) where ( m ) is mass and ( v ) is velocity.
Efficiency
- Efficiency is given by the ratio of useful energy output to total energy input.
- Example: For a car engine with an input power of 100 kW and a drag force of 1500 N, the efficiency can be calculated to be 50% due to energy lost, primarily from heating.
Fluid Statics
- A fluid is a substance that can flow, including liquids and gases.
Density
- Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
Gravitational Potential Energy
- Gravitational potential energy changes when work is done against gravity, calculated as ( \Delta E_{\text{grav}} = mgh ).
Power
- Power is the rate of doing work or transferring energy, expressed as ( P = \frac{W}{t} ).
- The SI unit of power is Watt (W), where 1 W = 1 J/s.
- Horsepower (HP) is also a common unit of power, where 1 HP = 750 W.
