physics Flashcards
state the law of conservation of energy
the total energy is the same at all times
state 8 energy stores
magnetic. internal (thermal) chemical. kinetic. electrostatic. elastic potential. gravitational potential. Nuclear
state 5 energy transfers
electric current light sound force heat
state the equation for gravitational potential energy and saw what each of the parts mean
Eg = m x g x h
h=height(m)
g=gravity(m/s)
state the equation for kinetic energy and state what each parts means
Ek = 1/2 (0.5) x m x v2
m=mass(kg)
v=speed(m/s)
what do each of the elastic potential energy equation mean (Eg=1/2 x k x e2)
k=spring(n/m)
E=extension(m)
Ee=elastic potential energy (m)
what is specific heat capacity
the energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1c
describe what each of the parts of this equation mean (SHC equation)
AE=m x c x A0 AE=change of energy (j-joules) m=mass(kg-kilograms) c=specific heat capacity A0=change of temperature (c-degrees Celsius)
