Student Exploration: Energy Conversion in a SystemNCVPS Chemistry Fall 2014Vocabulary: energy, gravitational potential energy, heat energy, kinetic energy, law of conservation of energy, specific heat capacityPrior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)A battery contains stored energy in the form of chemical energy.1. What are some examples of devices that are powered by batteries? ____________________________________________________________________________________________2. What different forms of energy are dmonstrated by these devices? ___________________ _________________________________________________________________________Gizmo Warm-upEnergy constantly changes from one form to another, but in a closed system, the total amount of energy always remains the same. This concept is known formally as the law of conservation of energy.The Energy Conversion in a System Gizmo™ allows you to observe the law of conservation of energy in action. In the Gizmo, a suspended cylinder has gravitational potential energy. When the cylinder is released, the

Answer:

a) Battery-operated devices have: small led lights, flashlights, wireless keyboards and mice, watches, electronic weights

b) ed lights and flashlights transform into light energy and thermal energy

c)  Em₀ = U = m gh,  Em_f = K = ½ m v²

Explanation:

In this exercise ask to complete the sentences

a) Battery-operated devices have: small led lights, flashlights, wireless keyboards and mice, watches, electronic weights

   

b) These devices transform the chemical energy stored in the batteries into other forms of energy.

Led lights and flashlights transform into light energy and thermal energy

Keyboards transform into electromagnetic energy that is emitted

clocks transform to mechanical energy from the movement of the needles

Electronic weights transforms the chemical energy of the baria into gravitational potential energy that prevents the movement of the plate and this translates into the reading of the body weight

c) The total energy of the cylinder mechanical energy when sustained is

          Em₀ = U = m gh

it is transformed as it descends into kinetic energy, at any point

          Emₙ = K + U = 1/2 m v² + m g y

at the lowest point of the trajectory all energy is transformed

           Em_f = K = ½ m v²
