?
Energy
The ability to do work
1 of 15
work done by an object
Energy is transferred from the object
2 of 15
Work done on an object
Energy is transferred to the object
3 of 15
Unit of energy and work done
Joules (J)
4 of 15
The principle of conservation of energy
Total amount of energy in a closed system is constant
5 of 15
Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)- Joules
mass(Kg) x gravitational field strength (N/Kg) x height (m)- (mgh)
6 of 15
Kinetic energy- Joules
0.5 x mass (kg) x speed^2 (m/s)- (0.5mv^2)
7 of 15
Elastic potential energy- Joules
0.5 x spring constant (N/m) x extension^2 (m)- (0.5 Ke^2)
8 of 15
Specific heat capacity
Amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 Kg of a material by 1 degree Celsius
9 of 15
Specific heat capacity equation
change in thermal energy (J) = mass (Kg) x specific heat capacity (J/kg degree Celsius) x change in temperature (degree Celsius)-
10 of 15
Power
The rate at which energy is transferred and the rate at which work is done
11 of 15
Power equation (watts, W)
Energy (Joules, J)/ time(Seconds,S) - (E/t) pleas note: energy can be replaced by work done, it's the same thing and same unit
12 of 15
The principle of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another
13 of 15
System
An object or group of objects
14 of 15
Internal energy
the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles that make up a system
