P = (F x d) / t
• P = W / t is the same as P = (F x d) / t
Calculating Power – Sample Problem 2
-As KE INCREASES =
TEMPERATURE INCREASES
THUS
-As TEMP INCREASES =
THERMAL ENERGY INCREASES
THERMAL ENERGY & MASS
-As MASS INCREASES = total KE INCREASES
THUS
-AS MASS INCREASES = THERMAL ENERGY
INCREASES
HEAT
-Thermal energy that FLOWS from something at a HIGHER
TEMP to something at a LOWER TEMP
-Form of ENERGY
-Measured in JOULES (J)
***Always flows from warmer to cooler***
SPECIFIC HEAT
-Amount of HEAT needed to RAISE THE TEMP of 1kg of
a material by 10C
-Measured in: J/(kg 0C)
-As a substance absorbs HEAT, its TEMP change depends
on the composition of the substance. This is called the
Specific Heat of the substance!
Ocean water
v/s
Beach Sand
