Relocating to Mars? What MUST you have?
Requirements… • What do you NEED to survive on Earth? • 5 basic requirements…
Matter & Energy • What is “matter” • What is “energy” • What does “conservation” mean? • How does “conservation” apply to matter? • How does “conservation” apply to energy?
Answering the EQ’s: Matter • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. • Matter is what the universe is made of!
Answering the EQ’s: Energy • Energy is the ability to do work. • Virtually all of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun.
Answering the EQ’s: Conservation • Conservation (to conserve) means to save
Answering the EQ’s: Conservation & Matter • The conservation of matter is a Law • The law of conservation of matter says… • Matter can not be created or destroyed
Answering the EQ’s: Conservation & Energy • The conservation of energy is a Law • The First Law of Thermodynamics (there are 3 of these laws, but we are only going to talk about the 1st) says… • Energy can not be created or destroyed • Energy can be transferred between a system and its surroundings • Energy transfers can be accounted for by looking at heat and the work accomplished.
What does that have to do with your Mars project? • How does your “matter” get recycled? • How does the energy enter your system?
