Measure the mass and volume
of substance. To measure the
mass, use a mass balance and
to measure the liquid, pour it
into a measuring cylinder.
Specific Heat
Capacity
The energy needed to
change the temperature of
a material.
E.G. In an electric kettle, energy is transferred electrically
from the mains to the thermal energy store. It's
transferred by heating to the thermal energy store of
the water, the water's temperature rises.
Change in Internal Energy (J) =
Mass (kg) x Specific Heat Capacity
(J/kgC) x Change in Temperature
Specific Latent
Heat
The energy needed to change state.
Energy to Cause a Change of State (J) =
Mass (kg) x Specific Latent Heat (J/kg)
Forces and
Elasticity
When you apply force to an object it can be
stretched, compressed or twisted but it can't go
back to its original shape (deformed)
Force Exerted by a Spring (N) =
Extension (m) x Spring Constant (N/m)
Energy Stored in a Stretched Spring (J) = 0.5 x
spring constant (N/m) x (extension)2 (m)2
