Document Summary
Chapter 2 notes: energy, the capacity to do work (put matter in motion, exists in 2 forms: i. ii. potential energy: stored, inactive energy kinetic energy: active energy, moves objects, other forms of energy: i. ii. iii. iv. chemical: stored in bonds electrical: movement of charged particles mechanical: directly moves matter radiant (electromagnetic): travels in waves, energy is easily converted from one form to another. However, during this conversion, much of this energy is lost as heat: matter, matter: occupies space and has mass, mass: equal to the amount of matter in an object i. ii. similar to weight remains constant regardless of gravity, matter exists in 3 states: i. ii. iii. solid: definite shape & volume liquid: definite volume, no definite shape gas: no definite shape or volume, water can exist in all 3 states, the composition of matter, elements: can not be broken down into simpler substances by regular chemical means i. ii. examples: oxygen, carbon, iron, copper.
