Chapter 4: Energy and Matter Flashcards
Types of Energy, Conservation of Energy, Matter, Ideal Gas Law, Boyle's Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, Charles' Law
What is Work Done?
Constant force given by the product of the force and the distance moved in the same direction as the force
What is Energy?
The capacity for a body to do work
How is Kinetic Energy calculated?
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x mass of object x velocity^2
How is Gravitational Potential Energy calulcated?
Gravitational Potential Energy = mass of object x gravitational field strength x height
What is the law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another or transfered from one body to another, but the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant
What is matter made up of
Atoms and molecules
How are atoms and particles moving
Constantly and randomly
How is kinetic energy related to temperature?
As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of particles increases
What is the Ideal Gas Law?
Pressure x Volume = Number of moles of gas x Ideal Gas Constant x Temperature (pV = nRT)
How are pressure and volume of a gas related?
Inversely related (p = k / v)
How are pressure and temperature of a gas related
Directly proportional (P / T = k)
How are volume and temperature of a gas related?
Directly proportional (V / T = k)
