g = gravitational constant Potential Energy Potential energy – energy due to position or composition: What are the factors that would increase potential energy? PE = mg∆h m = mass, g = gravitational constant ∆h = change in height
How do we measure Potential Energy in food? Calorimetry Energy in food can be ignited to transfer heat to water. Like Potential energy, we can calculate how the water temperature is raised. As we burn food, the water above the burner contain several variables: m × s × ΔT
How do we measure Potential Energy in food? Calorimetry
If were talking about Calorimetry …. The energy needed to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius is 4.184 J. This is a weird number so instead we use calorie. calorie = 4.184 J Calorie = 4.184 Kilo Joules (KJ) = 4,184 Joules Phet – Eating and exercise
Joule = Energy What is a Joule? Potential Energy = mg∆h Food energy = m × s × ΔT Both can be measured in a unit of Energy called a Joule. 1 Joule is approximately the energy to push a one kilogram object across a frictionless floor one meter. 10 Joules is approximately the energy needed to lift a one kilogram object 1 meter.
