    Study Notes

    Energy Law

    • Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
    • Energy can only be transferred between objects.
    • The total energy of an isolated system remains constant.

    Mechanical Energy

    • Mechanical energy is an object's energy due to its position or motion.
    • Kinetic energy is energy of motion.
    • Potential energy is stored energy.
    • Total mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy.
    • During motion, total mechanical energy remains constant, but kinetic and potential energy can change.

    Energy Transfer

    Conduction

    • Heat transfer without particle movement.
    • Can occur within or between materials in contact.
    • Heat transfer by atomic/molecular collisions or free electrons.

    Convection

    • Heat transfer involving particle movement.
    • Effective in liquids and gases.
    • Warm fluid rises, cool fluid falls creating convection currents.

    Radiation

    • Heat transfer without particle movement via electromagnetic radiation.
    • All objects above absolute zero emit thermal radiation.
    • Incoming radiation is reflected, transmitted, or absorbed by objects.
    • Factors affecting radiation rate: temperature difference, surface area/characteristics, radiation wavelengths.

    Interactions of Electromagnetic Radiation with Matter

    Resonance and Wine Glass Breakage

    • Resonance occurs when a sound wave's frequency matches an object's natural vibration.
    • Sound wave energy is transferred & amplified, causing the glass to shatter if vibrations are too great..

    Microwaves

    • Microwaves generate electromagnetic radiation at 2.45GHz.
    • Water molecules in food absorb energy through resonance, causing vibration.
    • Vibration creates friction, leading to heat (conduction).
    • Heated air circulates, assisting heat transfer (convection).
    • Food is heated by radiation, convection, conduction, and resonance.

    Energy Efficiency

    • Energy transformations are never perfect.
    • Energy is "lost."
    • Systems require continual energy input.
    • Efficiency is the percentage of effectively transformed energy.
