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.
