Study Notes
Work, Energy, and Power
- Kinetic Energy (K.E.): Energy of motion, calculated as K.E. = 1/2 * m * v² (where m = mass, v = velocity)
- Potential Energy (P.E.): Energy due to position, calculated as P.E. = m * g * h (where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height)
- Relationship between Momentum and Kinetic Energy: Doubling the momentum quadruples the kinetic energy.
- Power: Rate of doing work, calculated as Power = Work / Time, unit is Watt (W)
-
Conversion of different types of energy:
- Dynamo: Mechanical energy to electrical energy
- Solar Cell: Solar energy to electrical energy
- Microphone: Sound energy to electrical energy
- Candle: Chemical energy to light and thermal energy
- Loudspeaker: Electrical energy to sound energy
- Lightbulb: Electrical energy to light energy
Units
- 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1000 Watts
- 1 megawatt (MW) = 1,000,000 Watts
- 1 horsepower (hp) = 746 Watts
