Summary Energy can be transferred by six different methods: through work, mechanical waves, heat, matter transfer, electrical transmission, and electromagnetic radiation. For an isolated these transfers of energy are all internal, and no energy is created or destroyed, thus energy is conserved. Within the system, however, there are three distinct types of energy: kinetic energy, potential energy, and internal energy. Power is defined as the change in this energy over time for a system that is not isolated. Types of Energy In addition to the three types of energy represented by conservation of energy properties of a system, there are six methods of transferring this means of energy transfer energy. Work is the method by which mechanical force can be mechanical energy transferred to system such that it undergoes a displacement. power Mechanical waves transfer an initial disturbance, such as a gunshot, through a medium or series of mediums, (in this case, the air and someones eardrum). Heat is the transfer of energy Vocabulary driven by a temperature gradient; be careful not to confuse heat, non-isolated system the transfer of energy, with temperature, the property of energy. Matter transfer is the physical movement of energy-carrying isolated system material across the boundary of the system while electrical work transmission is the use of current that crosses the boundary of heat the system. Electromagnetic radiation uses electromagnetic watt waves such as radio waves to transfer a disturbance in energy. kilowatt-hour These six methods bring energy in and out of a non-isolated non-conservative forces system. For an isolated system, however, despite any transfers of energy between various subsystems, the change in energy is always equal to zero. This property is the basis for the First Law of Thermodynamics: energy is always conserved. Energy can neither be Electromagnetic Radiation created nor destroyed in any system.

Systems Work A non-isolated system is a system defined such that Electrical energy transfer occurs across its boundaries. Because it is possible Transmission Non-isolated System for there to be a net change in energy in a non-isolated system, it is these types of systems that are analyzed when conditions are Matter Mechanical seen to change over time. An isolated system is defined so that no Transfer Waves energy transfer occurs across its boundaries. Because no energy enters or leaves the system and because energy can neither be created nor destroyed, the net change in energy in an isolated system is always zero. Isolates systems may, however, be composed of non-isolated subsystems. Power Power is defined as the rate of change of the energy entering or exiting a non-isolated system. Power is measured in watts. The idea of a kilowatt-hour as another unit of energy and not power should be well understood.
Problem

A
light,
rigid
rod
is
77.0
cm
long.
Its
top
end
is
pivoted
on
a
frictionless,
horizontal
axle.
The
rod
hangs
straight
down
at
rest
with
a
small,
massive
ball
attached
to
its
bottom
end.
You

Problem 3: A uniform board of length L is sliding along a smooth frictionless, horizontal plane. The board then slides across the boundary with a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the board and the second surface is f. a. Find the acceleration of the board at the moment its front end has traveled a distance x beyond the boundary. b. The board stops at the moment its back end reaches the boundary. Find the initial speed v of the board.

a.
Using
F=ma,
the
decelerating
action
of
friction
on
the
board
can
be
calculated.
Percent
mass
that
is
applying
a
normal
force
is
proportional
to
the

divided
by
L.

cancel
to
reveal

simplified
equation
for
the
acceleration.
Because
the
friction
is
acting
in
the
opposite
direction
of
the
movement
of

board,
the
acceleration
is
negative.
