Study Notes
Science Overview
- Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.
- It involves observation, experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
- Key branches of science include physics, chemistry, biology, and Earth science.
Forces
- Forces are pushes or pulls that can cause changes in motion or shape of objects.
- There are various types of forces, including:
- Gravity: The force of attraction between any two objects with mass.
- Electromagnetic force: The force between charged particles, responsible for many phenomena like light and magnetism.
- Strong nuclear force: The force that holds the particles in an atom's nucleus together.
- Weak nuclear force: The force involved in certain types of radioactive decay.
- Normal force: The force exerted by a surface on an object in contact with it.
- Frictional force: The force that opposes motion between surfaces in contact.
- Applied force: A force that is applied to an object by a person or another object.
- Forces are measured in Newtons (N).
- The effect of a force depends on its magnitude and direction.
- Forces can be balanced or unbalanced. Balanced forces result in no change in motion, while unbalanced forces cause changes in motion.
Energy
- Energy is the capacity to do work or cause change. It is a scalar quantity.
- There are many forms of energy, including:
- Kinetic energy: The energy of motion. Depends on mass and velocity.
- Potential energy: Stored energy due to position or configuration. e.g., gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy.
- Thermal energy: The internal energy of a substance due to the motion of its particles. Usually associated with heat.
- Chemical energy: Stored energy in chemical bonds. Released in chemical reactions, e.g., combustion.
- Electrical energy: Energy associated with electric charges.
- Nuclear energy: Energy stored within the nucleus of an atom. Released in nuclear reactions.
- Radiant energy: Energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves, like light and heat.
- Energy can be transformed from one form to another. For example, chemical energy in food is transformed into kinetic energy when we move.
- The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another.
- Energy is measured in Joules (J).
Relationship between Force and Energy
- Force applied over a distance results in work.
- Work is a measure of energy transferred.
- The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
Examples of Force and Energy
- A ball falling from a table demonstrates the relationship between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.
- A car accelerating is an example of a force (engine's push) changing its kinetic energy.
- Friction between surfaces transferring thermal energy.
