Objectives: We Will Be Able To… Explain heat as the energy transferred between substances that are at different temperatures. Relate heat and temperature change on the macroscopic level to particle motion at the microscopic level. Apply the principle of energy conservation to calculate changes in potential, kinetic and internal energy.
4
Defining Heat Again: non “How hot or cold something is”
5
What is Heat? When two substances have different temperatures their molecules have different amounts of kinetic energy. When those molecules touch, they transfer some of the energy from one to the other (think collisions). Heat is the energy transferred between objects because of a difference in their temperatures.
6
What is Heat? A closer look. The can is warm and the water is cold. The can and the water have equal temperatures
7
Heat and Energy Because heat is the transfer of energy, heat has the units of energy: joules (J). Other units (not used in physics): Calories BTUs (British thermal units) therms Energy transfer only happens when there is a difference in temperatures, so heat is only perceived when objects have a different temperature.
8
Heat and Work Conservation of Energy
9
Heat and Work As previously discussed, mechanical energy (potential and kinetic) is always conserved in the absence of… …friction. Any mechanical energy that is not conserved becomes internal energy (U). Internal energy comes primarily from: friction deformation (think car crashes)
10
Heat and Work: Examples When a nail is hammered into wood, and then removed the nail feels hotter. Kinetic energy became internal energy. Don’t believe me? Rub your hands together vigorously.
11
Heat and Conservation of Energy Total energy (of any kind) is conserved if we include internal energy.
12
Practice Problem A 3.0 g copper penny drops a distance of 50.0 m to the ground. If 65% of the initial potential energy goes into increasing the internal energy of the penny, determine the magnitude of that increase. U = 0.96 J
13
Wrap-Up: Did we meet our objectives? Explain heat as the energy transferred between substances that are at different temperatures. Relate heat and temperature change on the macroscopic level to particle motion at the microscopic level. Apply the principle of energy conservation to calculate changes in potential, kinetic and internal energy.
