2. Energy What is Energy? Kinetic Energy: Energy in the form of motion
Running, spinning wheels, etc.
Potential Energy: Stored energy

3. Work
Definition: The transfer of energy through motion. A force is exerted over a distance.
Equation: W = F x d

4. Practice Problem:
A dancer lifts a 400N ballerina overhead a distance of 1.4 m. How much work has he done?
W = F x d
W = 400N x 1.4m
W = 560 N  m
W = 560 J

5. Practice Problem:
A game show contestant won a prize by pushing a bowling ball 20m using his nose. The amount of work done was 1470J. How much force did the person exert on the ball?
F = W / d
F = 1470J / 20m
F = 73.5 N

7. Conservation of Energy
Pendulums

11. Mechanical Energy
The total amount of kinetic and potential energy.

12. Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can change form, but it can not be created or destroyed.

13. Energy and the Human Body
Movement
The movement of your body is the conversion of your bodies potential energy into kinetic energy.
The food you eat is your chemical potential energy.
Calorie: The unit used to measure how much energy we get from specific foods.

15. Temperature and Heat
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter.
The measure of how hot and cold an object is compared to a reference point.
Reference points could be on a temperature scale, like the freezing and boiling points of water

16. Thermal Energy:
Thermal energy is the total potential and kinetic energy of all the particles in an object.
Thermal energy depends on the mass, temperature, and phase (solid, liquid, or gas) of an object.

17. Heat:
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another because of a temperature difference.
Heat always flows from hot objects to cold objects.

18. Comparing Temperature Scale
There are three different temperature scales that are commonly used.
Fahrenheit (F)
Celsius (C)
Kelvin (K)

20. Measuring Thermal Energy
Specific Heat: The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of material by one degree Celsius.
The lower the material’s specific heat, the more its temperature rises when a given amount of energy is absorbed by a given mass.

22. Specific Heat
Every material that exists has a different Specific Heat.

23. Specific Heat Equation:
Q = m x c x T
Q= Change in Thermal Energy
M = mass
C = Specific Heat
T = (final temp – initial temp)

24. Practice Problem
1. A 45 kg brass sculpture gains 180,480 J of thermal energy as its temperature increased from C. What is the approximate specific heat of brass?
Q = c
m x T

25. Chapter 6

26. Using Thermal Energy
Conduction: The transfer of energy through matter by DIRECT contact.
Convection: The transfer of energy by BULK MOVEMENT of matter
Radiation: The transfer of energy in the form of waves.

27. Conduction

28. Convection

29. Radiation

31. Thermal Energy Flow
Conductors: Any material that allows heat to move easily.
Insulators: Any material that does not allow heat to move easily.
Insulation Ratings
R-value: A scale that compares the insulation ability of different materials.

32. Chapter 7
Machines…..

33. Machines: Making Work Easier by….
Lifting our cars (jacks)
Helping us climb (stairs)
Moving us (wheels and axles)

34. What are Machines?
A device that makes work easier by changing the force.
They change the size of the force needed, the direction of the force or the distance over which a force acts.

35. Advantages of Machines
Can increase the amount of force on an object.
Lug nut
Can increase the distance that the force must work within
Pulley
Can change the direction of the force
Oar

36. Simple Machines
Levers: A rigid bar that moves around a fixed point called a fulcrum.
When you put force into a lever it will produce a different amount of output force.

37. Levers
First Class Lever: The fulcrum is located between the input force and the output force.

38. Levers
Second Class: The output force is located between the input force and fulcrum.

39. Levers
Third Class: The input force is located between the fulcrum and the output force.

40. Simple Machines - Pulley
Pulleys are simple machines made from a rope that fits into the groove of a wheel.
Types of pulleys
Fixed
Movable
Pulley System

41. Simple Machines: Wheel and Axle
A ‘Wheel and Axle’ is a simple machine that consists of two disks (or cylinders), each one with a different radius.

42. Simple Machines: Inclined Plane
An Inclined Plane is a slanted surface that can move an object at a different elevation.

43. Simple Machines: Screw
A Screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
Screws with threads that are closer together have a greater ideal mechanical advantage.

44. Simple Machines: Wedge
A Wedge is a V-shaped object whose sides are two inclined planes sloped towards each other.

45. Using Machines
A Compound Machine is a combination of two or more simple machines that operate together.
Car, washing machine etc.

46. Power Definition: Power is the rate of doing work. Equation:
To increase power you whether increase the work done in a given time, or do the amount of work in less time.
Equation:
Power = work / time
Remember!!! Work = Force x distance

47. Power Practice Problems:
A figure skater lifts his partner, who weighs 450N, 1.0m in 3.0s. How much power is required?
Power = work / time
Power = (Force x Distance) / time
Power = (450N x 1.0 m) / 3.0 s
Power = 450 J / 3 sec
Power = 150 Joss or…… 150 W (Watts)

48. Watts Watt is the SI unit for power.
It represents the amount of Joules per second
For example, a 40 Watt light bulb requires 40J of energy for every second that it is lit.
