  • 3 States of matter
    Solid, liquid and gas
  • Solid -> Liquid = Melting - apply heat
    Liquid -> to Gas = Evaporation -apply heat
    Liquid -> Solid = Freezing - cool
    Gas -> Liquid = Condensation -cool
  • Solid
    • not moving
    • low kinetic energy
    • low temperature
  • Liquid
    • Moving more
    • More kinetic energy
    • More temperature(heat)
  • Gas
    • Moving a lot
    • High kinetic energy
    • High temperature(heat)
  • Heat- Type of Kinetic energy that particles(in things) possess
    -Measured in Joules(J)
    Temperature- The amount of heat energy an energy has
    -Measured in Celsius, F and K
  • Potential energy
    • The energy that is stored
    • e.g Solar
    • Gravitational pot.
    • Chemical
    • Nuclear
    • Elastic pot.
  • Kinetic energy
    • The energy that contains movement
    • E.g. sound
    • stored
    • Light energy
    • Electricity
    • Thermal(heat)
    • Wind
    • Mechanical
    • Elastic pot.
    • Magnetism
    • Wave energy
  • Work- The ability to do something
    Energy- Required to do work
  • Energy
    • can not be created or destroyed
    • can only be changed from one form to another
    • always conserved
  • Energy can be transformed from one type to another
    For example,
    Electricity energy changed into heat and sound energy when bioling a jug(different energy type)
  • Energy can be transferred from one object to another (Energy transfer)
    For example-
    Heat energy from the rocks cooking the food in a hangi. The type of energy doesn't change(same)
  • Flow chart
    Chemical -> Mechanical -> Heat
    -> Kinetic
    -> Sound
  • Toaster
    Electricity-> Heat -> Sound
    -> Chemical pot.
    Listening to music(ipod)
    Electricity -> Chemical pot. -> Heat -> Sound
  • Barbecue -Flow chart-
    Chemical pot. -> Heat -> Heat -> Chemical
    -> Sound
    -Transformation- -Transfer- -Transformation-
  • Energy transformations

    Light a match- Chemical pot. -> Sound -> Heat -> Light
    Burning Mg- Chemical pot. -> Heat -> Light
  • ENERGY EFFICIENCY

    -Uses less energy compared to the energy required to make the device work

    Efficiency can be calculated using the following equation

    Efficiency(E)- Useful output energy
    Total output energy X 100
  • Heat transfer- Conduction and Convection
    How does Heat transfer from object to object?

    -Heat always moves from a warmer place to a cooler place
    -When an object becomes hotter, it has gained heat energy(expands)
    -When an object becomes cooler, it has lost heat energy(compresses)
  • Three types of Heat radiation

    1. Conduction
    2. Convection
    3. Radiation
  • Energy efficiency
  • How to work out energy efficiency!
  • Energy efficiency
  • Conduction
    • Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another in an object without the movement of the object
    • "Touching"
  • Convection
    • The movement that transfers heat within fluid and air(gas)
    • "Heat rises and cool sinks"
  • Example of Convection

    The bottom of a pool is cold because it's cooling
    The top of the pool is warm because the heat rises to the top
    Hot air rises
    >Lighter
    >Less dense(particles spread out)
    Cool air sinks
    >More dense
    >Particles are close to each other
  • Radiation
    -The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
    -Does not require matter to transfer thermal energy / no touching
    -currents/waves
  • Types of Energy
    -Sound
    -Thermal(heat)
    -Chemical
    -Mechanical
    -Electrical
    -Light
    -Kinetic(moving)
    -Potential(stored)
    -Elastic pot.
    -Gravitational pot.
    -Wind
    -Wave
    -Magnetic
  • Wave length = frequency = pitch of wave
    High frequency = short wave length = high pitch

    The louder you speak, the higher the wave is
    The deeper you speak, the wider it is
    High voice = shorter distance
  • Heat transfer
    • Conduction
    • Convection
    • Radiation
    1. Conductor
    2. Insulator
  • Sound formation
    • sound is produced by vibrating objects
    • the vibrating object causes the air surrounding it to vibrate
    • you make sound when your vocal cords vibrate
    • a sound wave is a series of compressions and rarefractions which moves away from the vibrating object.
    • sound waves are formed from moving particles, so if there are no particles there can not be any sound
    Pitch
    • Two major that determine what a noise sounds like: Pitch and loudness of the sound
  • Conductor:
    • materials or substances which allow electric current to flow easily
    • allows the transmission of heat and light from one source to another
  • Insulator:
    • a material that is a poor conductor(as of electricity or heat)
    • a material that doesn't easily allow heat and/or electricity to pass through it
