Energy transfers & transformations
Law of Conservation of Energy
same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside
to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.
energy can neither be created nor destroyed
Everyday examples
Transfers
Convection
Solids and liquids
transfer heat energy
Radiation
transferred by waves rather than particles
he heat from the sun on Earth
infra-red radiation
a type of electromagnetic radiation
Conduction
thermal energy
in solids it can be transferred
Transformations
gravitational potential
store energy as the result of its position
stored in an object as the result of its vertical position
chemical energy
energy stored within a substance
released in the form of heat
bonds of chemical compounds
kinetic
possesses due to its motion.
depends not only on its motion
body is equal to one-half the product of its mass
Forms of energy
chemical, electrical, radiant, mechanical, thermal and nuclear
radiant
electromagnetic radiation
radiation, such as x-rays etc
mechanical
possessed by an object due to its motion
electrical
from fuels, food and energy originating from the sun
thermal
molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a rise in temperature
chemical
found within chemical bonds, atoms, and subatomic particles
nuclear
zero-emission clean energy source
Rube Goldberg machine
Description
chain reaction-type machine
perform a simple task
in an indirect and overly complicated way
Use
e.g
The car pushes a dog treat off the edge of the table
6 Simple Machines
wedge, screw, lever, wheel and axel, inclined plane and pulley
