Caloric Theory The idea that heat is a liquid that has no mass
Heat Movement of thermal energy Cannot be a possession
Hero of Alexandria Made the first steam engine in the form of a bronze toy
Savery Steam Engine Steam engine that was first used for work: pumping water in mines
Newcomen Steam Engine Modified Savery steam engine that has a piston and does not need human labour
Watt Steam Engine Modified Newcomen steam engine with two pistons that provide dual continuous action from machine
Steam-Turbine Engines Fan shaped blades in a wheel that rotate in sets in opposite directions Does not use pistons
Work Work done is calculated by force x distance (or displacement). It is measured in Joules
GRASP Given information Required information Analyze the question Solve the question Paraphrase your answer
Calorie The amount of energy added to 1g of water to increase its temperature by 1 degrees Celsius
Law of Conservation of Energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another
Kinetic Energy The energy of motion
Kinetic-Molecular Theory Molecules in gaseous form are constantly in motion Related to thermal energy
Thermal energy The energy related to the continual movement of particles
Specific Heat Capacity The amount of heat required to raise 1g of a substance 1 degrees Celsius
Temperature A measure of the average kinetic energy in a substance
Thermodynamics A specific section of physics that looks into force and motion and its relations with heat and thermal energy
First Law of Thermodynamics Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can transferred through forms and objects
Second Law of Thermodynamics It is not possible for any process to remove thermal energy from an energy source and convert it entirely into work
Combustion The burning of a compound with oxygen. An exothermic reaction
Phlogiston An invisible liquid (with mass) that comes out of substances as heat
Caloric An invisible liquid (with no mass) that comes out of a substance as heat
Charles Parsons The person who perfected the steam turbine engine
First Theories of Heat FIRE Hot Dry AIR EARTH Wet Cold WATER
Early relationships of Thermal Energy 1. Heat is equivalent to energy 2. Heat is related to energy
Scalar A quantity that describes a size or amount, but has no direction
Vector A quantity that describes a size or amount as well as direction
Distance A scalar quantity that describes the length of a path between two points
Displacement A vector quantity that describes the straight line or shortest possible distance from one point to another
Position A vector quantity that describes the location of a chosen point relative to a reference point
Speed A scalar quantity that describes how fast or slow something is going in relativity to the distance and time
Velocity A vector quantity that describes the displacement of an object in relativity to time
Time A scalar quantity that describes a point in time as it relates to the reference or starting point
Time Interval Scalar quantity that describes the difference between two times
Uniform Motion A type of motion where there is no change in velocity, it is constant
Line of best fit A scientific tool to get the best results possible from a graph
Acceleration Any change in the velocity of an object during a time interval
Potential Energy An energy that an object has when doing work. Examples are gravitational, chemical, elastic, and nuclear potential energy
Elastic Potential Energy The potential energy that is stored in an elastic medium
Chemical Potential Energy The potential energy that is stored in bonds
Nuclear Potential Energy The potential energy that is stored in the nucleus
Gravity A force that acts upon every object that has mass on a planet
Acceleration due to Gravity An equation of how fast something falls because of gravity: g=9.81m/s ^2
Gravitational Potential Energy The potential energy of an object falling down or the work done vertically
Equation for Work W=F x d
Equation for Speed V=d/t
Equation for Velocity > > V=d/t
Equation for Average Speed Vave=total d/total t
Equation for Average Velocity > > Vave=total d/total t
Equation for Kinetic Energy K=1/2mv^2
Equation for Work and Change in an Energy W=(delta)E
Equation for Potential Energy U=mgh
Useful energy The amount of energy gained from doing work that can be used to power something and is not 'lost' or wasted
Efficiency How well a machine or object does its job based on the input and the useful output. Nothing is 100% efficient
Input Energy The type and amount of energy that is used to run, power or fuel and object so that it can do work
Output energy The type and amount of energy that is a product of an object doing work. Output energy almost always contains thermal energy, or heat
Resting Position When an object is not moving or doing work; when there is no energy being released or absorbed
Waste Heat A by-product of machines or objects doing work
Cogeneration A factory built to save energy by doing an energy conversion and using a by-product or the waste to power something different
