Work is done when a force acts on an object and causes its displacement. The force must act totally or partially in the direction of the movement.

ENERGY
Systems
Nota:
Depending on if there is an exchange of matter and/or energy with the sorroundings, a system can be:
Isolated
Nota:
Neither mater nor energy can be transferred to or from another system
Closed
Nota:
Only the energy can be transferred but not matter.
Open
Nota:
Matter and energy can be transferred to or from another system
Matter
Nota:
- Change in position
- Increase or decrease in temperature
- Deformation or change in shape
- Change in volume
Energy
Nota:
Is the capacity of matter to transfer heat or to do work. As the matter transfer heat or does work, its energy decreases.
Forms of Energy
Nota:
- Mechanical Energy
- Chemical Energy
- Thermal Energy
- Internal Energy
- Electromagnetic Energy
- Nuclear Energy
- Electrical Energy
Energy Conservation
Nota:
Energy can be transformed from one form into another, or transferred from one body to another, but cannot be created or destroyed. So the total quantity of energy remains constant
Principle of Conservation
of Mechanical Energy
Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy
Energy Degradation
Nota:
All forms of energy can be completely transformed into heat, but heat cannot be completely transformed into other forms of energy
Heat
Usable
Source of
Energy
Non-renewable
Nota:
From resources found in nature in limited quantities.
- Fosil fuels
- Nuclear Energy
Renewable
Nota:
Comes from inexhaustible natural resources.
- Hydroelectric
-Geothermal
-Solar
-Wind
-Tidal
Saving Energy
Nota:
- Say no to crazy consumerism.
- Turn off ligths and electrical appliances.
- Buy low power consumption appliances.
- Use energy saving bulbs.
- Use natural light
.... etc.
Momentum Conservation Principle
Nota:
For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system,
the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to
the total momentum of the two objects after the collision. That is, the momentum lost by object 1 is equal to the momentum gained by object 2.
M1.V1=-M2.V2
