Study Notes
Energy and Forces
- Energy transferred from the Sun to the Earth's surface is mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation (e.g., light and heat).
- Frictional force opposes motion between two surfaces in contact and is proportional to the normal force between the surfaces.
Energy Transfer
- The process where an object's kinetic energy is transferred to the surroundings as heat energy is called friction.
Machines
- The ratio of the output force to the input force in a machine is known as mechanical advantage.
Electricity
- The unit of measurement for the amount of electric charge is the coulomb (C).
