Topic 8: Energy & the Price We Pay

1. Topic 8: Energy & the Price We Pay Dr. George Lapennas Department of Biology

2. What is Energy? Short answer: Energy is the ability to do Work.

3. What is Work? Work is done when a Force acts through a Distance in the direction of the Force Work = Force x Distance

4. Are these guys doing Work?

5. Is this guy doing Work?

6. Now has this guy done Work?

7. Power = Work / Time = (Force x Distance)/Time = Force x (Distance/Time) = Force x Velocity

8. Power = Work / Time 1 “horsepower” = 550 foot-pounds/second

9. Power = Work / Time 1 “horsepower” = 550 foot-pounds/second

10. 4 Fundamental forms of Energy: 1 Potential Energy (PE) 2 Kinetic Energy (KE) 3 Electro-Magnetic Energy (E-M) 4 Mass Energy

11. 1 Potential Energy (PE) = “energy of position” Energy gained by pulling something away from an attractive force or Energy gained by pushing something toward a repulsive force

12. 1 Potential Energy (PE) = “energy of position” Gravitational PE = work done to lift something against attraction of gravity Gravitational PE gained = weight x height lifted = mg x h

13. 1 Potential Energy (PE) = “energy of position” Elastic PE = stretching a spring or a rubber band or compressing a spring or a gas or bending a springy bow

14. 1 Potential Energy (PE) = “energy of position” Electrical PE = pulling + away from – pushing + toward + or – toward –

15. 1 Potential Energy (PE) = “energy of position” Electrical PE = pulling + away from – pushing + toward + or – toward –

16. 1 Potential Energy (PE) = “energy of position” Magnetic PE

17. Chemical Potential Energy

19. Work done against Friction does not yield Potential Energy

20. 4 Fundamental forms of Energy: 2 Kinetic Energy = “energy of motion”

21. 3 Electro-Magnetic Energy = light, ultraviolet, x-rays, radio waves, micro-waves

22. 3 Electro-Magnetic Energy = light, ultraviolet, x-rays, radio waves, micro-waves

23. 3 Electro-Magnetic Energy = light, ultraviolet, x-rays, radio waves, micro-waves

24. 3 Electro-Magnetic Energy = light, ultraviolet, x-rays, radio waves, micro-waves

25. 4 Mass Energy = energy derived from mass

26. 4 Mass Energy = energy derived from mass

28. 4 Mass Energy = energy derived from mass

29. 4 Mass Energy = energy derived from mass

30. Internal energy

31. First Law of Thermodynamics “Conservation of Energy” Energy can neither be created nor destroyed The amount of Energy in an “isolated system” is constant over time

32. An isolated system is one where neither matter nor energy can cross between the system and the surroundings. The whole universe itself is an isolated system, as there are no surroundings to exchange matter or energy with.

33. An isolated system is one where neither matter nor energy can cross between the system and the surroundings. The whole universe itself is an isolated system, as there are no surroundings to exchange matter or energy with. Energy can be transferred (moved) from one place to another and Transformed from one form to another

34. Internal energy The internal energy of a closed system changes with heat transfer and work done A closed system is one where energy can cross the boundary, but matter cannot.

35. Energy transformation from one form to another

36. Energy transformation from one form to another Pile driver

37. Energy transformation from one form to another Pile driver

38. Energy transformation from one form to another Pile driver

39. Energy transformation from one form to another Pile driver

40. Energy transformation from one form to another Pile driver

41. Energy transformation from one form to another

42. Energy transformation from one form to another

43. Energy transformation from one form to another

44. Energy transformation from one form to another

45. Energy transformation from one form to another

46. Energy transformation from one form to another

48. Energy transformation from one form to another

49. Second Law of Thermodynamics The Entropy of the Universe can only increase (or stay the same) over time. It cannot ever decrease. Entropy = disorder = randomness
