Energy in motion
Kinetic
Value used of how 1 kg of an object increases by 1C
Specific Heat
A wind turbine is spinning that goes to generate electricity.
Kinetic --> Electric
Energy stored based on position
Gravitational Potential Energy
A negative heat energy value represents what?
Energy being released. (Decreased in Temperature)
A 4kg ball is held a 5m high is dropped. Assuming no air resistance (100% efficiency) what is the velocity as it reaches the ground?
9.9m/s
Energy stored in springs
Elastic Potential Energy
191.8J
A 10kg ball is thrown into the floor and hits the floor at 12m/s if 75% of the energy is returned as potential, what height will the ball return to.
5.5m
Energy used that changes the temperature of an object
Thermal energy
A block of aluminum weighing 140 g is cooled from 98.4°C to 62.2°C with the release of 1080 joules of heat. From this data, calculate the specific heat of aluminum. Check your answer with a specific heat table.
0.213J/gC
A 10N/m spring is stretched to 5m long that hits a 15kg ball. If 50% of the springs energy is transferred into the ball what will be the velocity of the ball?
2.89 m/s
Label the energy transfers from a spring loaded system that spins a fan used to cool down food.
Elastic --> Kinetic --> Thermal
In a calorimeter, 100g water's initial temperature is 20C and raised to 26C when a 78g block that is 100C is added. What is the specific heat of the metal block assuming that all of the heat energy is fully transferred?
Specific Heat Water = 4.18J/gC
0.435J/gC
