Study Notes
Key Concepts
- Energy causes change in a system.
- Energy exists in different forms.
- Energy can be transferred or transformed.
- Physical quantities contribute to different energy forms.
Curricular Competencies
- Make observations to identify questions about the natural world.
- Use scientific knowledge to draw evidence-based conclusions.
- Develop and refine ideas.
Properties of Energy
- Perpetual motion machines are machines that supposedly run forever, but energy is never lost.
- Energy is transferred and transformed in perpetual motion machines.
- Energy is never lost, despite transformations.
Energy and Systems
- A system is anything under observation.
- Surroundings are everything outside the system.
- Universe = system + surroundings
Different Forms of Energy
- Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
- Potential energy is stored energy, due to condition or position. Examples include:
- Chemical potential energy: Stored in chemical bonds (e.g., fossil fuels, fireflies).
- Gravitational potential energy: An object's stored energy due to its height relative to a reference point (e.g., a roller coaster at the top of a hill).
- Elastic potential energy: Stored in stretched or compressed objects (e.g., a rubber band, a trampoline).
- Radiant energy: electromagnetic waves that travel or 'radiate' from an energy source.
- Electrical kinetic energy: movement of electrons, often through conductors.
- Sound energy: vibrations that travel through substances in waves.
- Thermal energy: random movement of particles; often referred to as heat.
