Science chpt 3 Flashcards
What are the 9 types of energy?
- Eletric energy; movement of electrons
-Elastic; stored du to compression on tension
-Thermal energy; movement of particles
-Radiation energy; Energy controlled in and transported by electromagnetic waves
-Chemical energy; energy stored in chemical bonds
-Wind energy; the movement of wind
-Sound energy; sound waves
-Hydraulic; movement of water
-Nuclear; energy stored in the nucleus
What are the units of energy?
Joules
What is a joule?
-One joule corresponds to the energy required to move an object with the force of one newton, over a distance of 1m
What is the formula for energy?
1J = 1N x 1m
What is the law of conservation of energy?
-states that energy cannot be created it can only be transmitted or transformed. The total amount of energy stays constant
What is an energy transfer?
the movement of energy from one place to another
ex; electricity moving in a wire
What is an energy transformation?
the changing of energy from one form to another
What is energy efficiency?
the percentage of energy consumed by a machine or systems that is transformed into useful energy
What is the energy efficiency formula?
EE = (amount of useful energy/amount of energy consumed) x 100
What are factors can affect thermal energy?
1) number of particles
-increase=increase in energy
-decrease= decrease in energy
2) Temperature
-Increase in temperature = increase in energy
What is the difference between heat and temperature?
-heat is the transfer of thermal
energy between 2 environments with different temperatures
-Temperature; the measure of agitation of particles in the substance
What is motion?
object changes place in a respected time
what is speed?
the distance traveled per unit of time
What is velocity?
the speed in a given direction
What is a force?
an action that can change the motion of an object or deform an object by pulling or pushing
How to represent force?
1) the horizontal force of action (dotted line)
2) the direction of application of force (arrowhead)
3) Magnitude of force (length of arrowhead or number)
4) Point of application (where arrow starts)
What is the unit of force?
Newtons (N)
Formula for force?
1N = 1kg x 1ms
How can velocity change the motion of an object?
-by giving velocity to a stationary object or by increasing velocity of an object already in motion
- By reducing velocity of an object either by slowing it down or stopping (applied in the opposite direction)
What is acceleration?
force applied in the direction of motion
What are the types of forces?
-electromagnetic forces
-friction
-gravitational force
What is electromagnetic force?
force of attraction or repulsion between two objects with an electric charge or magnetic poles
what is friction?
the force that prevents two objects from slipping when they come into contact
What does friction depend on?
1) the nature of the surface
2) The intensity of pressure on each surface
3) strong and weak nuclear forces
