P8 Flashcards
Changes involved in the way energy is stored when a system changes
In a closed system, energy before= energy after change, no net change to total energy in that system.
In open system, energy gets dispersed/dissipated into surroundings.
System-an object.
Different ways that the energy of a system can be changed
Through work done by forces.
In electrical equipment.
In heating.
work done
force x distance moved in direction of force
change in gpe
mass x gfs x change in vertical height
kinetic energy
1/2 x mass x (speed)^2
how mech processes become waqsteful
when cause a rise in temp so dissioating energy in heating the surroundings
power defintition
rate in which energy ias transferred
power= work done/time
1 watt=
one joule per second
efficiency equation
useful enrgy output/total energy input
