Thermal Energy
|
The total energy in a substance (KE adn PE)
|
|
Force
|
Any influence that can cause an object to be accelerated, measured in newtons in the metric system and in pounds in the British system
|
|
Potential Energy
|
The stored energy that an object posseses because of it's position
|
|
First Law of Thermodynamics
|
Whenever heat flows into or out of a system. The gain or loss of thermal energy equals the amount of heat transfered
|
|
Kinetic Energy
|
Energy of motion possesed by moving objects
|
|
Mechanical Work
|
Energy that comes from the energy you put in to begin with
|
|
Second law of thermodynamics
|
Heat never spontaneously flows from a cold substance to a hot substance
|
|
Equation for PE
|
kg * m * 10
mass * length * acc. of gravity |
|
Third law of thermodynamics
|
No system can reach absolute zero
Physicists have been within less than a millionth of 1K, but never 0K |
|
Equation of KE
|
1/2 * kg * M^2/S^2
1/2 * mass * velocity^2 |
|
Formula for Joule
|
kg * M^2/S^2
mass * length^2/time^2 |
|
What is thermal expansoin?
|
When molecules in a hot substance juggle faster and move further apart
|
|
Acceleration of gravity
|
The change in an objects speed per time that goes by
10m per second per second |
|
What is sublimation?
|
When molecules jump directly from a solid to a gaseous phase
|
|
Is condensation a warming process?
|
Yes. When gas molecules strike the liquid with increased KE it increases the average KE of the liquid
|
|
The law of Interta
|
Things _____ to keep doing what they're already doing
|
