Study Notes

Activity 7: Investigating energy transfer in a mechanical system

Equipment: ruler, paper pellet or plastic bottle top
Method:
- Place the pellet (or bottle top) at one end of a desk.
- Bend a ruler until it has enough potential energy to cause the pellet to move when it is released.
- Release the ruler so that it hits the pellet and moves across the desk.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3, but change the amount of bending to see what strength makes the paper pellet move faster.
- Explain in your own words what causes the ruler to have the power to drive the pellet away.
- Draw the energy transfer diagram for this event.

Thermal systems

Thermal energy is energy produced by heat.
Heat energy is transferred between the different parts of a thermal system.
When a substance is heated, the particles move faster and faster.
The movement causes the temperature of the substance to rise.
Temperature is how cold or hot an object is.
Hot water in a cup that is placed on a table, eventually becomes cold since the surroundings are cooler than the water in the cup.
Thermal energy from the hot water is transferred to the cooler surroundings.

Activity 8: Comparing kinetic energy at different temperatures

Equipment: two beakers, some hot water, some cold water, food colouring
Method:
- Pour hot water into one of the beakers and cold water into the other.
- Add two drops of food colouring to each beaker.
- Observe and compare the movement of the food colouring in both beakers.
- Draw a conclusion about the kinetic energy of the food colouring particles and the temperature of the water.
