Study Notes
Kinetic Energy
- Defined as the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
Potential Energy
- Energy held by an object based on its position or condition, often referred to as stored energy.
-
Gravitational Potential Energy: Energy stored related to an object's height, found in examples like:
- Sheikrah ride
- Rock perched on a cliff
-
Elastic Potential Energy: Energy stored in elastic objects due to deformation, seen in:
- A bow prepped to shoot
- Stretched exercise bands
-
Chemical Potential Energy: Energy stored in atomic or molecular bonds, found in:
- Batteries
- Coal, oil, and propane
Sound Energy
- Energy produced from vibrating molecules that can be heard, exemplified by:
- Sirens
- Tubas
Chemical Energy
- Energy derived from the combustion or digestion of molecules, found in:
- Food
- Wood
- Gasoline
Radiant Energy
- Energy presented in the form of:
- Solar Energy: Sunlight
- Light Energy: Emitted from light bulbs or fire
- Heat/Thermal Energy: Like the energy in boiling water
Electrical Energy
- Energy resulting from the flow of electrical charges through a conductor, evident in:
- Electricity powering devices
- Turning on a radio
- Lightning strikes
Atomic/Nuclear Energy
- Energy originating from nuclear reactions, either from splitting atoms in power plants or fusion in the sun, illustrated by:
- The sun's energy
- Atomic bombs
Mechanical/Motion Energy
- Energy generated by muscle movements and actions, examples include:
- Clapping hands
- Wind energy
Law of Conservation of Energy
- States that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can transform between different forms.
Energy Transfer
- The process of moving energy from one form to another, involving various energy types such as:
- Sound
- Chemical
- Radiant
- Electrical
- Atomic/Nuclear
- Mechanical/Motion
Heat Transfer
- Defined as the movement of heat from warmer objects to cooler ones, with mechanisms of transfer including:
- Radiation: Transfer through empty space, e.g., sun warming the Earth or fire warming a person without contact.
-
Conduction: Direct transfer through contact among molecules, as seen in:
- A pan heating water via physical contact
- Holding an ice cube that warms due to hand heat
-
Convection: Heat transfer in liquids and gases, utilizing convection currents where heated molecules rise, illustrated by:
- Hot air balloons rising
- Balloon inflating with hot gas
