Transferring Energy

Cards (13)

  • What is the conservation of energy principle?
    Energy can be transferred, stored, or dissipated but can never be created or destroyed.
  • Why can't we create new energy according to the conservation of energy principle?
    Because energy can only move between different objects and forms.
  • How does charging a phone illustrate the conservation of energy principle?
    • Electrical energy from the wall is transferred to the phone's battery.
    • Chemical energy in the battery is converted back to electrical energy when used.
    • Electrical energy powers the screen (light energy) and speaker (sound energy).
  • What happens to energy when it is transferred in a phone?
    Some energy is dissipated as wasted energy, often in the form of heat.
  • What is the common form of wasted energy when using a phone?
    Heat energy.
  • What is a system in physics?
    • A portion of the physical universe chosen for analysis.
    • Everything outside the system is known as the environment.
  • In the phone example, what is considered the system?
    The phone itself.
  • What defines an open system in physics?
    Energy and matter can freely move between the system and the environment.
  • Why is a phone considered an open system when in use?
    Because it exchanges heat energy with the surroundings.
  • What is a closed system in physics?
    • A system where energy and matter cannot enter or escape.
    • The overall energy of a closed system does not change.
  • What happens to heat energy in a closed system when a phone heats up?
    The heat energy is dissipated to the air inside the jar and stays within the system.
  • What is the overall energy change in a closed system?
    The overall energy does not change.
