    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.
