Note: You will get the main formulas. You need to be able to manipulate them (I will not write down the triangle on the board). Come prepared with a pen and scientific calculator.
Study Guide
4.2
- Define with an example: work, energy, heat, kinetic-molecular theory, kinetic energy, thermal energy, heat capacity, temperature, first and second law of thermodynamics
- Calculate work (understand the formula, know units, be able to manipulate the formula)
5.1 Analyzing and Measuring Motion
- define with an example: scalar vs. vector quantities, distance vs. displacement, speed vs. velocity, acceleration
- calculate displacement , distance, speed, velocity and acceleration
5.2 Energy of Motion
- calculate kinetic energy
5.3 Potential Energy
- explain the difference between elastic potential, chemical potential, nuclear potential, and gravitational potential energy
- calculate gravitational potential energy
6.1 Efficiency of Energy Conversion
- define efficiency (differentiate between useful and waste energy)
- calculate efficiency
