Energy can be transferred between objects by work done,
heating
or cooling, and
electric current.
The SI unit of energy is the
joule
(
J
).
Work done = force x distance
moved
in
direction
of force
The law of conservation of
energy
states that the total amount of
energy
in an isolated system remains constant over time.
Work is defined as
force
multiplied by
distance
moved in the direction of the force.
Work done =
force
x
distance
moved in same direction
Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done (
W/t
).
Power is the rate at which
energy
is
supplied
to an object or system.
Power
is the rate at which
energy
is used or supplied.
Average power
= total energy /
time taken
The formula for power is P =
W/t
, where P is power, W is work done, and t is
time
taken to do it.
The SI unit of power is
watt
(W), where one watt equals one
joule per second.
Heat transfer
occurs when there is a temperature
difference
between two objects.
Conduction
is
heat
transfer through direct contact with another object.
When a
force
acts on an object to move it through a certain
distance
, work has been done.
A
negative
value for work indicates that
energy
has been transferred to the object being acted on.
If
no work
is done, there must be
zero force
acting on the object.
Convection
is heat transfer due to movement of
hotter particles away
from their source.
