- Study notes on kinetic and potential energy, thermodynamics, circuits, and electrical energy
Kinetic & Potential Energy
- Potential energy exists within an object waiting to be converted; a roller coaster at its peak is an example
- Kinetic energy arises from moving mass, transforming from potential energy; a roller coaster falling illustrates this
- Potential energy converts to kinetic energy
- Thermal energy, or heat, is from converting kinetic to potential energy, caused by friction
- Energy transforms, but cannot be created or destroyed
- Kinetic Energy (KE) is calculated as 1/2 mass * velocity squared
Potential Energy Equation Usage
- Plug in given values
- Solve according to the values
- Compare pieces of data as needed
Potential Energy Calculation
- Potential energy (P) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration due to gravity (g) and height (h)
Potential Energy Equation Usage
- Plug in given values
- Solve according to the values
- Compare pieces of data as needed
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics describes how combined substances reach new equilibrium, averaging their properties
- Equilibrium is a resting state after an action
- Putting air into a balloon requires energy, equilibrium is attained when air is released
- Chatelier's principle indicates combined substances form a new intermediate equilibrium
- Combining hot and cold water results in warm water, red and white paint makes pink
- Lost energy transforms and escapes, like thermal energy
- Entropy is energy unavailable for work due to inability to harness it
- Thermal energy dissipating into the environment exemplifies entropy
Circuits
- Voltage is the force pushing electrons, also known as electromotive force
- V=IR represents voltage equals current times resistance.
- Voltage is measured in Volts (V)
- Current is measured in Amps (I)
- Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω)
- Electrons are negative flowing to positive
- Resistors block current
- More electrons mean more current (directly proportional)
- Fewer electrons mean less current (directly proportional)
- Higher resistance means lower current (inversely proportional)
- Lower resistance means higher current (inversely proportional)
- Changing volts changes current but not the resistors
- Oxidation involves losing electrons
- Reduction involves gaining electrons
- Oxidation-reduction involves electron transfer in a wire-connected battery
- A battery has two metals that either give or receive electrons, connected by a wire, enabling electron flow through oxidation and reduction reactions
- Parallel circuits provide two pathways for current
- Series circuits provide only one pathway for current
- Voltage changes across resistors in series circuits
- Voltage remains constant across resistors in parallel circuits
- Resistors control current flow generating thermal energy (heat)
Electrical Energy
- V=IR (voltage = current x resistance)
- Current and resistance are inversely proportional
- Use the above to explain information and answer questions
- Voltage represents the force pulling electrons through the battery
- One side gives up electrons while the other accepts them moving from high to low concentration
- A voltaic cell, or battery, drives this process
- Oxidation-reduction is the chemical reaction where electrons are exchanged with each end connected by a wire.
- "Dead Battery" = No new reactants generate electrons
- Electromagnetism involves a coil of wire with flowing electrons forming a magnet
- More coils lead to a stronger magnet
