1. Introduction to Waves

3. Force, Motion and Energy Reporting Category 2

4. Wave A wave is any disturbance that transmits energy through matter or space.

5. Basic properties of waves Basic properties of waves : Energy is transferred from one place to another in a wave motion. (Example: a tidal wave is an energy wave) Only the shape or form of wave travels, not the substance it travels through called the medium.

6. Amplitude (A) Amplitude – height of a wave.

7. Wave Length ( ) Wave Length – distance from one wave to the next by measuring: *crest to crest *trough to trough *midpoint to midpoint

8. Wave Frequency (f) Frequency – The rate at which the crest passes a given point. Unit for frequency is the Hertz (Hz). Hertz – how many waves go by per second.

9. Frequency Continued High frequency has short wave length. Low frequency has long wave length

10. Using the Wave Equation Speed = wave length x frequency

11. What is a wave? It is the way in which energy is transferred from one place or object to another. Waves come in various forms. Waves can travel through a variety of materials or even empty space. Waves can do work, sustain life, or cause great destruction; this occurs when the energy of the wave is absorbed by matter.

12. When we think of waves, most of us think about the beach. These waves travel through water. In this case, water is called the medium.

13. The medium can be a gas, such as when sound travels through the air.

14. The medium can be a solid, such as when an earthquake shakes California.

15. Then there are light waves that require no medium at all. They are called electromagnetic waves

16. Forms of

17. Energy is the ability to cause change

18. Energy has no mass or weight Energy does not take up space Energy is NOT matter Energy vs. Matter everything on Earth is either energy or matter Matter has mass and weight Matter takes up space Matter is NOT energy

19. THERMAL ENERGY energy due to molecular movement within an object increased temperature = increased thermal energy

20. Which of these objects has more thermal energy?

21. CHEMICAL ENERGY Chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds. When molecules are broken apart energy is released.

22. Each of these items contains chemical energy.

23. LIGHT ENERGY Energy carried by light is called radiant energy. Light energy travels at a speed of 300,000 km/s.

24. ELECTRICAL ENERGY energy of electrons moving along a path (electrical current)

25. NUCLEAR ENERGY energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

26. POTENTIAL ENERGY Energy an object has because of its position

27. KINETIC ENERGY Energy of motion. Only a moving object has kinetic energy Amount of energy depends on speed and mass

28. POSITION 1 POSITION 2 POSITION 3 Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Potential Energy The boulder is in a resting position with low potential energy and no kinetic energy. EXAMPLE 1 The boulder at the top of the hill has potential energy and no kinetic energy. As the boulder rolls down the hill, the potential energy transforms into kinetic energy and kinetic energy becomes greater until

29. Examples of Energy Transformations Your body converts chemical energy in food into energy …. it needs to move,think,grow and heat the body.

30. What is temperature ?

31. Moving Molecules All matter in the Universe is made of atoms that are on the move all the time!

32. How fast atoms move gives us our states of matter. In a solid, the atoms are tightly packed together. They cannot change position easily. They can only vibrate in place. Solids have a definite shape & definite volume.

33. In a liquid, the atoms are able to slide past each other. They can easily change positions in the liquid. Liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape.

34. In a gas, the atoms are much farther apart than in solids or liquids. They have plenty of space to move around in. They can easily spread throughout all the space in the container that they are within. Gases do not have a definite shape or a definite volume.

35. Boiling is when heat is added to water in liquid form (when it’s molecules are moving very rapidly!) Water vapor (steam) is produced. When this occurs, water goes from the liquid state to the gaseous state. This is known as VAPORIZATION.

36. Solidification or freezing is due to a lack of heat in liquids (when it’s molecules are moving very slowly!) Ice and other solid forms of water are produced when this process takes place.

37. CONDENSATION is defined as the conversion of a substance (like water) from the vapor state to a denser liquid state that is initiated by a reduction in temperature of the vapor. This process is responsible for the formation of clouds. Condensation is also a vital component of the water cycle for clouds then create rain.

38. Melting is the process by which heat is added to water (or any liquid substance) in its solid state such as ice. The ice then turns into liquid water.

39. Force, Speed, and Motion How are they related?

40. Kinds of Force There are many different kinds of force. There are pushes and pulls electromagnetic forces weak forces strong forces and gravitational forces, Some forces are referred to as contact forces and some are non-contact forces

41. Weight is a type of force Weight is the result of the force of gravity pulling on a mass. The greater the force of gravity, the greater the weight. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains.

42. Acceleration

43. F=ma is Newton’s 2nd Law and can be stated: A net force is equal to the mass of the object times its acceleration. Therefore if equal force is applied to two objects of different mass, the smaller mass will accelerate more

44. If an object is traveling at a constant speed but is going in a circle, it is accelerating because its direction is changing

45. Are these objects accelerating? Explain.

46. Newton’s Second Law Little Force Big Force Little Acceleration Big Acceleration Same Mass

47. Same Force Small Mass / Big Acceleration Big Mass / Small Acceleration

52. Machines Can… Make work EASIER to accomplish (but amount is the same) Change magnitude of force required to accomplish task Change direction of force required to accomplish task
