HANDOUTS & WORKSHEETS Grade 9

ENERGY
Energy – capacity to do work
- stored in different forms and can transfer and/or transform. It can be transferred without being transformed
Mechanical Energy
- the energy acquired by objects upon which work is done is known
- Mechanical energy are of two forms; the Potential energy and Kinetic Energy.

Energy is simply transformed from one


form to another or transferred from one system to another.

It flows from a source (serving as input


system) into an output system during transfers and/or transformations.

1. A moving motorcycle - chemical


energy is converted to thermal energy ,then to
mechanical energy
2. A runner doing stretches- chemical
energy is converted heat , and mechanical energy
(with wasted heat)
3. In a hydroelectric Power plant –
potential energy from dam is converted to kinetic
energy as the water falls then mechanical energy when
the turbine rotates then electrical energy
Please answer
1. Refer to figure I 2. Refer to figure II

b. At which position(s) the cyclist has maximum P.E and K.E? b. At which position(s) the ball has maximum P.E and K.E

HEAT

Internal/ Thermal energy- is the sum of potential and kinetic energy of the bodies.
Heat- is the thermal energy that flows from a substance of higher temperature
Heat is related to temperature. Heat transfer may increase or decrease the temperature of a body, this means that there is an energy transfer in the form of heat. The conservation of
energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. The first law of thermodynamics is actually based on this concept. It states that: The change in internal energy of a system equals the
difference between the heat taken in by the system and the work done by the system.

The law is expressed as:

ΔU = Q-W where Q = the amount of heat flowing into a system during a given process W = the net work done by the system ΔU = the change in
the system’s internal energy

This is derived from the conservation of energy given as how heat is related to work? Q= W + ΔU

We will use Joule (J) as our SI unit for energy. The first law tells us that a system’s internal energy can be changed by transferring energy by either work, heat or a combination of the two.

Sample problem: If 150J of energy is added to a system when no external work was done, by how much will the thermal energy of the system raised?

Given: Q= 150J W= 0 Find: U Solution: U= Q- W U= 150J- 0 U = 150 J

Solve the following:

.1. A 120J of energy is added to a system that does 40J of external work, by how much thermal energy of the system is raised?
Follow the steps below: Identify the following:

Solution :

2. A 300 J of energy is added to a system when no external work has been done, by how much will the thermal energy of the system be raised?
Given: Q= W=
Find : U =
Solution :

Internal energy of a substance is the sum of molecular kinetic energy (due to the random motion of the molecules), the molecular potential energy ( due to the forces that act between the
atoms of molecules)., and other kinds of molecular energy.

Heat flows normally from higher temperature to lower temperature which is spontaneous process. It does not require any external energy to occur.

Non-spontaneous process happens when heat flows from lower temperature to higher temperature. It needs mechanical energy to occur.

Example:

SPONTANEOUS NON-SPONTANEOUS Identify the following as spontaneous or non-spontaneous process.


1. Dissolution of common salt in water
2. Evaporation of water in an open vessel
Drying of leaves Breakage of egg 3. Flow of heat from cold body to a hot body
Spoiling of foods Ice production 4. Flow of water down a hill
5. Dissolution of sand in water
waterfalls Rice cooking

Heat pump is a device that reverses the direction of the heat flow from a cold body to a warmer one. Refrigerators and air conditioning unit are examples of heat pump.

In thermodynamics, a heat engine is a system that converts heat or thermal energy—and chemical energy—to mechanical energy, which can then be used to do mechanical work. It does this by
bringing a working substance from a higher state temperature to a lower state temperature.

The process of burning fuel involves a chemical reaction called combustion where the fuel burns
in oxygen in the air to make carbon dioxide and steam. (Generally, engines make air pollution as well
because the fuel isn't always 100 percent pure and doesn't burn perfectly cleanly.)

The figure below illustrates the Four cycle- stroke of gasoline engine,

Cycle stroke Movement of the piston What happen to mixture of gases?


Intake down air-fuel mixture is pulled into the
cylinder by producing vacuum
pressure into the cylinder through
its downward motion.
Compression up the air-fuel mixture is compressed
Power down compressed air-fuel mixture is
ignited by a spark plug
Exhaust up the spent air-fuel mixture is Thermal efficiency is a dimensionless performance measure of a thermal device such as
expelled through the exhaust valve
an internal combustion engine ,a boiler, or a furnace . When transforming thermal
energy into mechanical energy, the thermal efficiency of a heat engine is the percentage of energy that is transformed into work. .

When expressed as a percentage, the thermal efficiency must be between 0% and 100%. Due to inefficiencies such as friction, heat loss, and other factors, thermal efficiencies are
typically much less than 100%. For example, a typical gasoline automobile engine operates at around 25% thermal efficiency, and a large coal-fuelled
electrical generating plant peaks at about 36%.
