Study Notes

Potential Energy (EP)

Potential Energy (EP) is stored energy due to an object's position, condition, or state.
Three types of potential energy: Chemical Potential Energy (CPE), Gravitational Potential Energy, and Elastic Potential Energy.
Chemical Potential Energy (CPE) is energy stored in chemical bonds.
Gravitational Potential Energy is energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field.
Elastic Potential Energy is stored in stretched or compressed materials.

Energy Transfer

Energy can be transferred and transformed from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed (Law of Conservation of Energy).
Energy can be converted from one form to another:
- Chemical energy (battery) is converted into electrical energy, which then produces light and heat energy (flashlight)
- Electrical energy is converted into sound energy (loudspeaker)
- Electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy (light bulb)

Hydroelectricity Generation

Water at a height in the dam possesses potential energy.
Water flowing through a pipe due to its height in the dam possesses kinetic energy.
The flowing water turns a turbine which then moves a generator producing electrical energy.
The process also generates some heat and sound energy.

Work (W)

Work is done when a force causes movement in the direction of the force.
Work is a scalar quantity.
The SI unit for work is the Joule (J).
Formula for work: Work = Force × distance (W = Fd)

Power (P)

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
Power is a scalar quantity.
The SI unit for power is the watt (W).
Formula for power: Power = Energy / Time = Work / Time ($P = \frac{E}{t}$ or $P = \frac{W}{t}$)

Efficiency

Efficiency is the ratio of useful power to the input power, expressed as a percentage.
Formula for efficiency: Efficiency = (Useful Power / Input Power) × 100

Crane Example

Input Power of the crane: 100 W
The crane lifts a block 30 meters in 2 minutes.
The force exerted by the crane: 6000 N
Work done by the crane: 180,000 J
Useful power generated by the crane: 1500 W

Newton's Laws of Motion

1st Law

An object at rest will remain at rest, or if moving will continue to do so in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a resultant force.

2nd Law

The rate of change of the momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on the object and occurs in the direction of the resultant force.
$F = ma$ (Force = mass × acceleration)

3rd Law

If object A exerts a force on object B, then object B will exert an equal and opposite force on A.

Momentum

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.
The SI unit of momentum is kg m/s.
Momentum is a vector quantity and acts in the same direction as the velocity producing the momentum.
Formula for linear momentum: $p = mv$ (momentum = mass × velocity)

Acceleration

Acceleration can be positive or negative.

Pressure at Different Depths

The pressure increases linearly with depth in a fluid.
The water pressure at depth = (density of water × Gravity × depth)
The pressure increases by approximately 10,000 Pascals for every 10 meters of depth.

Additional Data/Calculations

Additional data includes:
- x/cm and y/cm values that may correlate to a graph,
- values 50.3 and 65.04 possibly related to coordinates or distances,
- handwritten calculations potentially involving angles or distances, but without more context, it is impossible to determine their exact meaning.
