Unit 5: Energy

L8: Transferring Energy


LI: To understand what an energy transferring is and to be able to
describe how energy can be transferred from one object or place to
another.

SC - I can:
● define energy transfer.
● describe how energy can be transferred from one object or place to
another when a force causes movement or by heating and cooling.

● Write in your notebooks what have
you understood after watching this
video.

● Share in classroom.
Transferring Energy
● Energy transfer from one object to another object
is usually easy to observe because one or both
objects slow down, speed up or change direction.

● Eg: When the golfer in swings his club, energy is


transferred from his body to the club. When the club Energy transfers from your muscles into
the club and finally into the ball in a golf
strikes the ball, most of its energy is transferred to swing.

the ball to make it move. The ball gains both kinetic Ball gains both kinetic energy and
gravitational potential energy as a

energy and gravitational potential energy as a result result of the transfer

of the transfer. It might also spin. In this case the


force on the ball is supplied by the club.
Some more examples of Energy Transferring(Read)
● When we lift an object into the air, we are transferring
energy from our body to the object in the form of additional
gravitational potential energy. When we throw a
boomerang, we transfer energy from our body to the
boomerang in the form of kinetic and gravitational potential
energy. In both cases the force is supplied by your body.

● In an electrical circuit, chemical energy in the cell or battery


is transferred to electric charge, causing it to move around
the circuit. The force causing the movement is the electrical
force of attraction between opposite electric charges. The
electrical energy of the moving electric charge is then
transformed in a load such as a light globe or smart phone.
Heat
● Heat is the transfer of energy from a high-temperature
body to a lower-temperature one.

● Eg, If you accidentally touch a hotplate you’ll find out


quickly — and painfully — that heat travels from warm
objects (hotplate) to cooler objects(Hand).

● Heat can move from one place to another in three


different ways: conduction, convection or radiation.
Conduction
● Conduction is the transfer of energy as heat or electricity
through the direct physical contact between matter or
particles of matter.

● Eg’s: touching the hot stovetop, or burning your feet on hot


sand.
Detail explanation (READ):If you’ve ever picked up a metal spoon that has been left in a hot
saucepan of soup you will know that heat moves along the spoon and up to the handle.

Metals are very good conductors of heat. Like all substances, metals are made up of tiny
particles. The particles in all solid substances are vibrating a tiny amount that we can’t see
with our eyes.When a section is heated the particles vibrate faster and bump into other
particles. When they collide, they transfer some of their kinetic heat energy by making the
one they hit vibrate as well.

This transfer of vibration continues particle to particle, through the whole object, until it is
hot.
Convection
● Convection is a way in which heat travels. It
occurs when heat is transferred by the movement
of liquids or gases..
Eg:
1) radiator - A radiator puts warm air out at the top
and draws in cooler air at the bottom.
2) steaming cup of hot tea - The steam you see (READ)Above diagram hows how convection
when drinking a cup of hot tea indicates that heat takes place. Heat causes the particles of air to
gain energy, move faster and spread out. This
warmer air is less dense than the air around it,
is being transferred into the air. so it rises. As it rises it begins to cool. The
particles lose some of the energy gained, slow
down and move closer together. This cooler air is
3) ice melting - Ice melts because heat moves to the denser than the air around it, so it falls. The
whole process then starts again, creating a
ice from the air. pattern of circulation called a convection current.
Examples of Convection

(READ)

(READ) The gentle breezes at seashore are formed by convection of air


currents. The warm air above the land rises up and the cool air over the
sea takes its place, producing the sea breeze in the daytime. At night, as
the sea is warmer than the land, the roles of land and sea changes and
convection of air produces the land breeze.
Radiation
● Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another
in a form of waves or particles.

● Eg, The sun, microwave ovens in our kitchens and the


radios we listen to in our cars.

(Detail explanation (READ)):Heat from the Sun cannot reach Earth by either
conduction or convection because there are not enough particles in
space to transfer heat by moving around or passing on vibrations. Heat
from the Sun reaches Earth by radiation. Heat transferred in this way is
called radiant heat. Heat transfer by radiation is much slower than heat
transfer by conduction or convection, and does not require any contact
between the heat source and the heated object, as is the case with
conduction and convection.

convection and radiation
Transmission, absorption and reflection
When radiant heat strikes a surface, it can be reflected, transmitted or absorbed. Most
surfaces do all three; some surfaces are better reflectors, others are better absorbers and
some transmit more heat.
