27
Q

Newtons first law

A

An object will stay at rest unless acted upon by unbalenced forces.
Objects in motion remain in motion unless they are acted upon by unbalenced forces.

28
Q

Work

A

Whenever a force is moving an object work, is done. Is a scalar quantity.

29
Q

For work to be done

A
  1. There must be movement
  2. There must be a force
  3. The force and distance must be in the same direction.

Lets energy escape but matter cannot. Closed can of soup

38
Q

Isolated system

A

Cannot allow matter or energy escape. Thermos.

39
Q

Energy of a system can be increased

A
  1. Heat can be added
  2. Work can be done
40
Q

Energy of a system can be decreased

A
  1. Heat can leave
  2. Work can be done by the system on something else.
41
Q

First law of therodyodmics

A

Energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred.
The total energy in a system stays constant because its surroundings stay constant.

42
Q

The perfect machine

A

Would convert all energy into mechanical energy. No energy lost.
