Unit 2 Lesson 6.2 "E Transfers and Transformations": Answer Key

The document discusses energy transfers and transformations. It provides examples of different types of energy including thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical. It explains that energy can be transferred from one object to another but also transformed from one type of energy to another. For example, solar energy can be transformed into electrical energy by solar panels. The total amount of energy remains the same according to the law of conservation of energy.

“E Transfers
and
Transformations”
ANSWER KEY
NOPE
*thermal E is *E can transfer from *there are a variety
transferred from one item to the next of forms of E that
warmer to colder can move between
objects *radiation can be objects and change
*electrical E can transferred
transform to light
and thermal E
*thermal E from the *electrical E transforms
heat lamp travels toward to thermal E when the
the baby zebra heat lamp is turned on
W = 53.5 N x 0.6 m W = 22 N x 2.5 m
= 32.1 J = 55 J
The ball moves in the same
Yes
direction as the force I am applying

No The ball is not moving

The ball moves in the same


Yes direction as the force I am applying

The ball moves in the same


Yes direction as the force of gravity

potential  kinetic
when you push on the

pedals to begin biking
due to friction between the
tires and ground
The law of conservation of E states that E cannot be
created or destroyed – it is transformed instead. The total
amount of E stays the same. In an open system, E from
the environment can be transformed into another type of
E. For example, the chemical E inside the food we eat is
transformed into thermal E and mechanical E to help us
regulate our body T and to use our muscles for
movement.
I predict that the E transformations will be:
solar E  electromagnetic E in the form of
electricity. Then, electromagnetic E  sound E
when we watch movies on Netflix.
thermal E  kinetic E  electrical E
(from the heat below the surface)  (turning turbines)  (electricity)
If this trend continues, ~81% of electricity will be
generated by nonrenewable resources and ~19% will
be generated by renewable resources.

This statement is NOT correct. Some of the chemical E from
the batteries is transformed into thermal E when the light
bulb is on instead. The thermal E is released back into the
environment.
*transfer: E moves from one object to another,
but stays the same type of E

*transformation: E changes from one type into


another
Since I live in the “Sunshine State”, I can use solar E
to generate electricity if I install solar panels on my
roof. This is a good choice because the Sun
provides a continuous source of E. Extra electrical
current can be stored in batteries and used on
cloudy, rainy days.
#1: more of the electrical E that goes into the appliance
will be used for a specific purpose, such as keeping my
food cold or baking cookies during the holiday season

#2: save lots of $$$$$$$$$ on my power bill because


these appliances use less electricity over time
The company will fail because no E transformation is
ever going to be 100% efficient. This is because some
of the E will be transformed to thermal E instead, due
to friction of moving parts. In this case, the friction
would occur between the tires and the road and inside
the engine.
potential  kinetic when the
golfer takes a swing

kinetic  sound + thermal (due


to friction) when the golf club
makes contact with the ball

potential  kinetic when the


sand is knocked out of place

kinetic  potential when the


golf ball and sand land on the
grass
W = 75.0 N x 12.0 m
= 900 J
p. 272 Benchmark Mini-Assessment
1. A (chemical  electric happens before the light turns on)

2. C (when the player’s foot is in contact with the ball; work is only
done when a force is applied to the object)

3. A (E can never be created or destroyed)

4. C (hydroelectric is the renewable resources that generates the


most electricity in the data table)

5. C (66.9% - coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases are


nonrenewable resources in the chart)
