Study Notes
Energy Transformations
- Energy transformations involve changes from one form of energy to another, such as chemical to kinetic.
Examples of Energy Transformations
- Electric Fan: Transforms electric energy into motion.
- Lamp: Converts electric energy into light.
- Iron: Changes electric energy into thermal energy.
- Automobile: Performs transformation from chemical energy (fuel) to thermal energy (engine heat) to mechanical (movement).
- Tape Player with Batteries: Converts chemical energy to electric energy, then to motion, and finally to sound.
- Hot Air Balloon: Converts chemical energy to thermal energy, to motion, and can include GPS technology.
Types of Energy
- Kinetic Energy: Defined as the energy of movement.
- Potential Energy: Refers to stored energy.
Energy Efficiency
- Energy transformations are not 100% efficient; less than 100% of energy is converted during transformations.
Motion and Resistance
- Objects slow down due to opposing forces acting against their motion when no longer pushed.
Energy in Objects
- Rubber bands have stored energy when wound and motion is halted.
- Forms of Energy: Include light, electrical, mechanical, and heat.
Energy for Lighting
- Lighting a bulb from a generator involves transforming chemical potential energy to electric energy to mechanical energy, which results in light.
Heat Transfer Methods
- Radiation: Heat transfer via electromagnetic radiation, primarily from the sun.
- Conduction: Direct heat transfer through contact between substances.
- Convection: Heat transfer through the movement of fluids.
Energy Concepts
- Work: Defined as the transfer of energy through motion.
- Energy: The ability to cause change.
- Mechanical Energy: Total energy in a system, combining kinetic and potential energy.
Energy Examples
- Kinetic Energy: Observed in moving objects like a skateboard or a basketball passing through a hoop.
- Potential Energy: Found in stationary objects, like a rock at the edge of a cliff, a glass of milk, gasoline, or an acorn hanging from a tree.
- Movement, such as climbing a ladder or blowing wind, represents kinetic energy.
