Work is done when You go up stairs. You play soccer. You lift a bag of groceries. You ride a bicycle. You breathe. Your heart pumps blood. Water goes over a dam.

Work

Energy

• Makes objects move.

• Makes things stop.

• Is needed to “do work.”

Energy

Energy

• Energy: is the capacity to do work, or supply heat.

Energy = Work + Heat

• Kinetic Energy: is the energy of motion.

• Potential Energy: is stored energy.

• Thermal Energy is the kinetic energy of

molecular motion (translational, rotational, and

vibrational).

• Thermal energy is proportional to the temperature

Ethermal T(K)

Figure 8.3: Heat results from the “brisk agitation” of the particles of matter.


Potential energy is energy that is stored for use at a later time. Examples are:

Water behind a dam A compressed spring Chemical bonds in

gasoline, coal, or food

Potential Energy

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Examples are:

Hammering a nail

Water flowing over a dam

Working out

Burning gasoline

Kinetic energy.



Work.



Learning Check

Identify the energy as 1) potential or 2) kinetic

A. Roller blading.

B. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

C. Mowing the lawn.

D. Gasoline in the gas tank.

Solution

Identify the energy as 1) potential or 2) kinetic

A. Roller blading. (2 kinetic)

B. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (1 potential)

C. Mowing the lawn. (2 kinetic)

D. Gasoline in the gas tank. (1 potential)

Energy has many forms: Mechanical Electrical Thermal (heat) Chemical Solar (light) Nuclear

Forms of Energy

Heat energy flows from a warmer object to a colder object.

The colder object gains kinetic energy when it is heated.

During heat flow, the loss of heat by a warmer object is equal to the heat gained by the colder object.

Transfer of Heat

Figure 8.4: The calorie and the kilocalorie.


Heat is measured in calories or joules.

1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal)

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules (J)

1 kJ = 1000 J

Some Equalities for Heat

• On nutrition and food labels, the nutritional Calorie, written with a capital C, is used.

• 1 Cal is actually 1000 calories.1 Calorie = 1 kcal1 Cal = 1000 cal

Energy and Nutrition

Eating: energy in.

• The caloric values for foods indicate the number of kcal provided by 1 g of each type of food.

Caloric Food Values

Energy stored as fat can be recovered to be spent in various ways, including Sumo wrestling.

Calories in Some Foods

Energy Requirements

• The amount of energy needed each day depends on age, sex, and physical activity.

Exercise, one form of energy expenditure.

Loss and Gain of Weight

• If food intake exceeds energy use, a person gains weight. If food intake is less than energy use, a person loses weight.

Figure 8.6: Energy and the human machine.


• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest to maintain normal body functions.

A cup of whole milk contains 12 g of carbohydrates, 9.0 g of fat, and 9.0 g of protein. How many kcal (Cal) does a cup of milk contain?

1) 48 kcal

2) 81 kcal

3) 165 kcal

Learning Check

3) 165 kcal

12 g carb x 4 kcal/g = 48 kcal

9.0 g fat x 9 kcal/g = 81 kcal

9.0 g protein x 4 kcal/g = 36 kcal

Total kcal = 165 kcal

Solution

Calorimetry and Heat Capacity

• Calorimetry is the science of measuring heat changes • for chemical reactions. There are two types of

calorimeters:

• Bomb Calorimetry: A bomb calorimeter measures the heat

change at constant volume such that

• Constant Pressure Calorimetry: A constant pressure calorimeter

measures the heat change at constant pressure such that

Constant Pressure Bomb

Constant-Pressure Calorimetry

No heat enters or leaves!
