TOPIC: WORK, ENERGY AND POWER
Work
Work results when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement (or a motion) or, in
some instances, to hinder a motion. Three variables are of importance in this definition -
force, displacement, and the extent to which the force causes or hinders the displacement.
Each of these three variables find their way into the equation for work.

That equation is:

Work = Force × Displacement
W=F×d

Since the standard metric unit of force is the Newton and the standard metric unit of
displacement is

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 1

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
the meter, then the standard metric unit of work is a Newton•meter, defined as a Joule and
abbreviated with a J.

Evaluation
1. What is work?
2. What is the standard unit of work?

Energy
Energy is defined as the amount of work a physical system is capable of performing. Energy,
can neither be created nor consumed or destroyed.

Energy, however may be converted or transferred to different forms: The kinetic energy of
moving air molecules may be converted to rotational energy by the rotor of a wind turbine,
which in turn may be converted to electrical energy by the wind turbine generator. With
each conversion of energy, part of the energy from the source is converted into heat
energy. We mean that part of the energy from the source cannot be used directly in the
next link of the energy conversion system, because it is converted into heat. E.g. rotors,
gearboxes or generators are never 100 per cent efficient, because of heat losses due to
friction in the bearings, or friction between air molecules.

Note: Energy is measured in Joules (J)

EVALUATION
1. What do you understand by the word energy?
2. What is the unit of energy?

Power
Electrical power is usually measured in watt (W), kilowatt (kW), megawatt (MW), etc. Power
is energy transfer per unit of time.

Power may be measured at any point in time, whereas energy has to be measured during a
certain period, e.g. a second, an hour, or a year. If a wind turbine has a rated power or
nameplate power of 1000 kW, that tells you that the wind turbine will produce 1000
kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy per hour of operation, when running at its maximum
performance (i.e. at high winds above, say, 15 metres per second (m/s)).

The power of automobile engines are often rated in horsepower (HP) rather than kilowatt
(kW). The word "horsepower" may give you an intuitive idea that power defines how much
"muscle" a generator or motor has, whereas energy tells you how much "work" a generator
or motor performs during a certain period of time.

Concepts of work, energy and power

Virtually every day we see people carry out various task such as pulling or pushing objects
towards a distance. It is observed that force is applied when carrying out the

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 2

aforementioned activities .It is also pertinent to note that many activities which involve
human fatigue do not necessarily, imply that mechanical work is done. For instance, if a
man carries a heavy load on his head or his hands , no work is being done if the load is kept
stationary.

TOPIC: POTENTIAL AND KINETIC ENERGY
Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is
the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an
object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is
completely independent of its environment. Hence the acceleration of an object is not
evident in the movement of one object, where other objects in the same environment are
also in motion. For example, a bullet whizzing past a person who is standing possesses
kinetic energy, but the bullet has no kinetic energy with respect to a train moving alongside.

Definition
The energy of a body or a system with respect to the motion of the body or of the particles
in the system. Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object or system because of its
position or configuration.

Relation to environment
Kinetic energy of an object is relative to other moving and stationary objects in its
immediate environment. Potential energy is not relative to the environment of an object.
Transferability
Kinetic energy can be transferred from one moving object to another, say, in collisions.
Potential energy cannot be transferred.
Examples, Flowing water, such as when falling from a waterfall. Water at the top of a
waterfall, before the precipice. SI Unit is Joule (J)

INTERCONVERSION OF KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be
transformed from one form into another. Take a classic example of a simple pendulum. As
the pendulum swings the suspended body moves higher and due to its position potential
energy increases and reaches a maximum at the top. As the pendulum begins its downward
swing, the stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 4

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
When a spring is stretched to one side, it exerts a force to the other side so it can come back
to its original state. This force is called restoring force and acts to bring objects and systems
to their low energy level position. The force required to stretch the spring is stored in the
metal as potential energy. When the spring is released, the stored potential energy is
converted into kinetic energy by the restoring force.

When any mass is lifted, the gravitational force of the earth (and the restoring force in this
case) acts to bring it back down. The energy needed to lift up the mass is stored as potential
energy due to its position. As the mass is dropped, stored potential energy is converted to
kinetic energy.

Types of Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy

Kinetic energy can be classified into two types, depending on the type of objects:
Translational kinetic energy
Rotational kinetic energy

Rigid non rotating bodies have rectilinear motion. Thus translational kinetic energy is kinetic
energy possessed by an object moving in a straight line. Kinetic energy of an object is
related to its momentum (product of mass and velocity, p= mv where m is mass and v is
velocity). Kinetic energy is related to momentum through the relation E = p 2 / 2m and hence
translational kinetic energy is calculated as E = ½ mv2. Rigid bodies which rotate along their
center of mass possess rotational kinetic energy. Rotational kinetic energy of a rotating body
is calculated as the total kinetic energy of its different moving parts. Bodies at rest also have
kinetic energy. The atoms and molecules in it are in constant motion. The kinetic energy of
such a body is the measure of its temperature.
Potential energy is classified depending on the applicable restoring force.

Gravitational potential energy – potential energy of an object which is associated with

gravitational force. For example, when a book is placed on top of a table, energy required to
raise the book from the floor and energy possessed by the book due to its elevated position
on the table is gravitational potential energy. Here gravity is the restoring force.

Elastic potential energy – energy possessed by an elastic body like the bow and catapult
when it is stretched and deformed in one direction is elastic potential energy. The restoring
force is elasticity which acts in the opposite direction.

Chemical potential energy – energy related to arrangement of atoms and molecules in a

structure is chemical potential energy. Chemical energy possessed by a substance due to the
potential it has to undergo a chemical change by taking part in a chemical reaction is
chemical potential energy of the substance. When fuel is used, for example, chemical
energy stored in fuel is converted to produce heat.

Electrical potential energy – energy possessed by an object by virtue of its electric charge is
electrical potential energy. There are two types – electrostatic potential energy and
electrodynamic potential energy or magnetic potential energy.

Nuclear potential energy – potential energy possessed by particles (neutrons, protons)

inside an atomic nucleus is nuclear potential energy. For example, hydrogen fusion in the
sun converts potential energy stored in solar matter into light energy.

increased to reach orbital velocity. Kinetic energy gained remains constant while in
orbit.

through collisions.

EVALUATION
1. Explain kinetic and potential energy
2. State two application of kinetic and potential energy
3. State the classes of potential energy.

CALCULATING KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY

For moving objects, we can easily calculate kinetic energy using the formula:
KE = (mass x velocity2)/2 or 1/2 mv2
 
Although mass and velocity both have great effects on kinetic energy, it is velocity more
significantly determines kinetic energy.
Sample Problem
1. What is the kinetic energy of a 45 kg object moving at 13 m/sec?
First we identify the information we are given in the problem:
mass = 45 kg
velocity = 13 m/sec
Next, we place this information into the kinetic energy formula:
KE = 1/2 mv2
KE = 1/2 (45 kg)(13 m/sec)2
Solving the equation gives a kinetic energy value of 3802.5 J
Note: the unit for energy is the same as for work: the Joule (J)

2. Sample Problem
The kinetic energy of a boat is calculated at 52,000 J.  If the boat has a mass of 39,000 kg,
with what velocity is it moving?
We identify the information given in the problem:
KE = 52,000 J
mass = 39,000 kg
We now place the information into the kinetic energy formula:

KE = 1/2 mv2
52,000 J = 1/2 (39,000 kg)(v)2
52,000 J/(1/2 x 39,000 kg) = v2
Solving the equation gives a velocity value of 1.63 m/sec
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body or an object due to its position. Potential
energy, on the other hand, is energy of position, not of motion.  The amount of potential
energy possessed by an object is proportional to how far it was displaced from its original
position. If the displacement occurs vertically, raising an object off of the ground let's say,

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 6

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
we term this Gravitational Potential Energy.  We can calculate the gravitational potential
energy of an object with this formula:
GPE = weight x height

An increase in the weight of an object or the height to which it is raised will result in an
increase in the potential energy the object possesses.  Once the object is dropped, the
potential energy begins to decrease due to reduced height, but we also now see an increase
in kinetic energy because the velocity is also increasing. 

1. Sample Problem
A 37 N object is lifted to a height of 3 meters.  What is the potential energy of this object?
Identify the information given to you in the problem:
weight = 37 N
height = 3 meters
Insert the information into the gravitational potential energy formula:
GPE = weight x height
GPE = 37 N x 3 meters
Solving the problem gives a potential energy value of 111 J.

Worked example 4
A car of mass 1000 kg travelling at 30m/s has its speed reduced to 10m/s by a constant
breaking force over a distance of 75m.

Find:
a. The cars initial kinetic energy
b. The final kinetic energy
c. The breaking force

Solution
a. Initial K.E =1/2MV2
= 500 ×302
= 450000J
= 450KJ
b. Final K.E = 1/2MV2
= 500 × 102
= 50000J

= 50KJ
c. Change in kinetic energy = 400 kJ

Equation 4
The SI unit for power is the watt W.
A power of 1W means that work is being done at the rate of 1J/s.
Larger units for power are the kilowatt kW (1kW = 1000 W = 103 W) and the megawatt MW
(1 MW = 1000000 W = 106 W).

If work is being done by a machine moving at speed v against a constant force, or resistance,
F, then since work doe is force times distance, work done per second is Fv, which is the
same as power.

TOPIC: ENERGY TRANSFER WHEN WORK IS DONE
If you put energy into an object, then you do work on that object (mass).

If a first object is the agent that gives energy to a second object, then the first object does
work on the second object. The energy goes from the first object into the second object.

At first we will say that if an object is standing still, and you get it moving, then you have put
energy into that object. The object has kinetic energy as a result of your work. You pushed it
through a displacement, you did work on the object.

 A golfer uses a club and gets a stationary golf ball moving when he or she hits the
ball. The club does work on the golf ball as it strikes the ball. Energy leaves the club
and enters the ball. This is a transfer of energy. Thus, we say that the club did work
on the ball
 The work done by the weight lifter in lifting the weights, in order to do this work
energy had to be transferred. Chemical energy from food eaten by the weight lifter

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 11

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
was transferred to joules of gravitational potential energy to the barbell.

 Thus the amount of work done is equal to the energy transferred from one form to
another. In order to lift the barbell above his head the weight lifter need to apply a
force which opposes the downward acting force of gravity on the mass of the
barbell.
 No mechanical work occurs in the man's body while he holds himself motionless.
There is a transformation of chemical energy into heat, but this happens at the
microscopic level inside the tensed muscles. Right: When the woman lifts herself,
her arms do positive work on her body, transforming chemical energy into
gravitational potential energy and heat

FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION II
Life Continuum—the mechanism by which an individual is compelled to carry on the life of
another deceased or departed individual, generating in his own body the infirmities and
mannerisms of the departed.

The human continuum can also be defined as the sequence of experience which
corresponds to the expectations and tendencies of the human species in an environment
consistent with that in which those expectations and tendencies were formed. It includes
appropriate behavior in, and treatment by other people as part of that environment.
The continuum of an individual is whole, yet forms part of the continuum of his family,
which in turn is part of his clan's, community's, and species, just as the continuum of the
human species forms part of that of all life.

Continuum concept
This is the idea that in order to achieve optimal physical, mental and emotional
development, human beings, especially babies , require the kind of experience to which our
species adapted during the long process of our evolution. For an infant, these include such
experiences as...
 constant physical contact with his mother (or another familiar caregiver as needed)
from birth;
 sleeping in his parents' bed, in constant physical contact, until he leaves of his own
volition;
 breastfeeding "on cue" — nursing in response to his own body's signals;
 being constantly carried in arms or otherwise in contact with someone, usually his
mother, and allowed to observe (or nurse, or sleep) while the person carrying him
goes about his or her business — until the infant begins creeping, then crawling on
his own impulse, usually at six to eight months;
 having caregivers immediately respond to his signals (squirming, crying, etc.),
without judgment, displeasure, or invalidation of his needs, yet showing no undue
concern nor making him the constant center of attention;
 sensing (and fulfilling) his elders' expectations that he is innately social and
cooperative and has strong self-preservation instincts, and that he is welcome and
worthy.

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 13

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
In contrast, a baby subjected to modern Western childbirth and child-care practices often
experiences...
 traumatic separation from his mother at birth due to medical intervention and
placement in maternity wards, in physical isolation except for the sound of other
crying newborns, with the majority of male babies further traumatized by medically
unnecessary circumcision surgery;
 at home, sleeping alone and isolated, often after "crying himself to sleep";
 scheduled feeding, with his natural nursing impulses often ignored or "pacified";
 being excluded and separated from normal adult activities, relegated for hours on
end to a nursery, crib or playpen where he is inadequately stimulated by toys and
other inanimate objects;
 caregivers often ignoring, discouraging, belittling or even punishing him when he
cries or otherwise signals his needs; or else responding with excessive concern and
anxiety, making him the center of attention;
If, however, his continuum expectations are fulfilled — precisely at first, with more variation
possible as he matures — he will exhibit a natural state of self-assuredness, well-being and
joy. Infants whose continuum needs are fulfilled during the early, in-arms phase grow up to
have greater self-esteem and become more independent than those whose cries go
unanswered for fear of "spoiling" them or making them too dependent.

Factors influencing individual sense of self worth (Body image)

Biological- the impact of overall health, of current illness or injury, and the scope of the
individual's anatomy and physiology all are considered under this aspect. An example is how
having diabetes mellitus causes the person's nutritional activities to differ from those of a
person without diabetes.

Psychological- the impact of not only emotion, but cognition, spiritual beliefs and the ability
to understand. this is about "knowing, thinking, hoping, feeling and believing". One example
of the application of this factor would be how having paranoid thoughts might influence
independence in communication; another example would be how lack of literacy could
impact independence in health promotion.

Sociocultural- the impact of society and culture experienced by the individual. Expectations
and values based on (perceived or actual) social class or status, or related to the individual's
perceived or actual health or ability to carry our activities of daily living. Culture within this
factor relates to the beliefs, expectations and values held by the individual both for
themselves and by others pertaining to their independence and ability to carry out activities
of daily living. One example is when caring for an individual of advanced age and how
societies expectations and assumptions about infirmity and cognitive decline, even if not
present in the individual, could influence the delivery of care and level of independence
permitted by those with sufficient authority to curtail it.

Environmental- it recommends consideration of not only the impact of the environment on

the activities of daily living, but also the impact of the individual's (ALs) on the environment.
One example of the environment impacting ALs is to consider, if damp is present in one's
home, how that might impact independence in breathing (as damp can be related to
breathing impairments)

Politicoeconomic – this is the impact of government, politics and the economy on ALs.

TOPIC: KINETIC THEORY
Kinetic theory of gases - states that gases consist of small particles in random motion. The
kinetic particle THEORY explains the properties of the different states of matter. The
particles in solids, liquids and gases have different amounts of energy. They are arranged
differently and move in different ways.

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 15

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
Solids
Property of solids
 They have a fixed shape and cannot flow
 The particles cannot move from place to place
 They cannot be compressed or squashed
 The particles are close together and have no space to move into

Liquids
Property of liquids
 They flow and take the shape of their container
 The particles can move around each other
 They cannot be compressed or squashed
 The particles are close together and have no space to move into

Gases
Gases are made up of molecules. What are molecules? Molecules are the smallest unit
which behaves same as the sample, i.e. they have the same chemical properties as of the
sample.

Property of gases
 They flow and completely fill their container
 The particles can move quickly in all directions
 They can be compressed or squashed
 The particles are far apart and have space to move into

Changes of state
Melting and freezing
If energy is supplied by heating a solid, the heat energy causes stronger vibrations until the
particles eventually have enough energy to break away from the solid arrangement to form
a liquid.

When a liquid freezes, the reverse happens. At some temperature, the motion of the
particles is slow enough for the forces of attraction to be able to hold the particles as a solid.
As the new bonds are formed, heat energy is evolved.

Boiling and condensing

If more heat energy is supplied, the particles eventually move fast enough to break all the
attractions between them, and the liquid boils. The heat energy required to convert one
mole of liquid into a gas at its boiling point is called the enthalpy of vaporisation.
If the gas is cooled, at some temperature the gas particles will slow down enough for the
attractions to become effective enough to condense it back into a liquid. Again, as those
forces are re-established, heat energy is released.

The evaporation of a liquid

The average energy of the particles in a liquid is governed by the temperature. The higher
the temperature, the higher the average energy. But within that average, some particles
have energies higher than the average, and others have energies lower than the average.
Some of the more energetic particles on the surface of the liquid can be moving fast enough
to escape from the attractive forces holding the liquid together. They evaporate.

TOPIC: Explanation of some phenomena using Kinetic THEORY
How does a gas exerts pressure on the walls of its container?
The gas particles are in constant and continual collisions with the walls. The collisions give
rise to the force. The force per unit area exerted on the walls is the pressure of the gas.

Why is energy required to evaporate a liquid?

There are intermolecular forces between liquid molecules.
Only the fastest-moving molecules will have large enough energy to overcome the
intermolecular forces. Hence energy is required to break the attractive forces.

Why does evaporation occur?

In liquids, there are intermolecular forces holding the liquid molecules together. Due to the
constant collisions between molecules, some molecules at the surface may attain greater
velocities.

Such molecules, if moving in the upward direction, may have large enough kinetic energy to
overcome the downward attractive forces exerted by the molecules in the liquid and break
away from the liquid surface and exist independently as vapour molecules. Hence
evaporation occurs, and can occur at any temperature.

Why does cooling occur when a liquid evaporate?

Since only the fastest-moving molecules leave the liquid, it follows that the average kinetic
energy of the molecules remaining in the liquid is decreased.
Since temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the liquid
molecules, therefore temperature falls, and cooling occurs.

Why does a liquid evaporate more quickly in a draught?

In a draught, the liquid molecules that leave the surface of the liquid will be blown away.
More liquid molecules are able to take up the space left empty by the previous molecules.
At the same time, fewer molecules are able to return to the liquid. Hence liquid evaporate
more quickly in a draught.

How does the surface area of a liquid affect evaporation?

Evaporation only takes place at the surface of a liquid.
The larger the surface area, there are more number of liquid molecules that can escape
from the surface. Hence evaporation will be rapid. This in turns lead to rapid cooling of the
liquid.
How does temperature affect evaporation?
The rate of evaporation is greater at higher temperature.
This is because of the greater average kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to greater
velocities. Hence the molecules readily overcome the attractive forces and contribute to the
process of evaporation.

EVALUATION
1. Why does evaporation occur?

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
2. How does the kinetic THEORY explain diffusion?

What happens when a fixed mass of gas is heated in a container of fixed volume?
When the container is heated, the moving molecules gain internal energy. Since
temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules, their
average speed and hence their kinetic energy are increased.

As the molecules are moving faster than before, they will make more collisions per second
with the walls. At the same time, each collision now results in a greater force imparted.
Hence pressure is increased.
(i.e. Pressure increases as Temperature increases) (and vice versa)

What happens when a fixed mass of gas is heated in a container of fixed pressure?
For pressure to remain constant, the number of collisions per unit time with the container
can be reduced. This can be done by increasing the volume of the container.
(i.e. Volume increases as Temperature increases) (and vice versa)

What happens when a gas is heated in a container of fixed temperature? (a.k.a. Boyle's
Law)
At constant temperature, the average speed of the molecules remains constant.
When the volume of the container is halved, the number of molecules per unit volume in
the container will be doubled. The number of molecules hitting the wall per second will also
be doubled. Hence pressure will be doubled.
(i.e. Pressure increases as Volume decreases) (and vice versa)

How does the kinetic THEORY explain diffusion?

All molecules are in constant motion. Because of the rapid, constant and chaotic motion of
molecules, especially in a gas, molecules spread out from a region of higher concentration
to a region of lower concentration.
In a gas, the spreading out is faster because of the larger intermolecular distance and
negligible force among molecules.

TOPIC: EVAPORATION AND BOILING
Evaporation vs. Boiling
Evaporation occurs on the surface of liquid and it is a vaporization of liquid. It is a state of
transition from liquid to gaseous state. The process occurs slowly and cannot be seen as
well. It occurs when there is exposure of water to air and water molecules change into
vapor and these vapors rise up and form clouds.

Boiling occurs on the entire mass of liquid and it is the vaporization of liquid. It occurs
rapidly. It happens when the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted by
the environmental pressure on liquid. It is a state of phase transition. The boiling occurs in
three different stages: nucleate boiling, transition boiling and film boiling. There are no such
stages for evaporation.

Boiling occurs when the temperature of the liquid is greater than the boiling point of the
substance. Evaporation can occur at any temperature. It occurs as long as the substance  
remains   liquid at a particular temperature. Evaporation occurs when there is an increased
energy present and occurs rapidly. It occurs from the bottom of the container when allowed
to boil. The bubbles form at the bottom of the container and then rise on top of the
container. In boiling, bubbles do not form at the bottom and rise to the surface. Evaporation
occurs at room temperature and therefore, occurs at a slower rate when compared to
boiling. In boiling, there is formation of bubbles as it is a complex physical process and these
bubbles are formed on a heated liquid. There is cavitation and acoustic effects seen in
boiling. There is no such bubbles formed in evaporation and there is no cavitation and
acoustic effect present in evaporation.

The microscopic difference between evaporation and boiling is as follows:

1. Evaporation occurs on the surface of the liquid whereas boiling occurs at the entire
length of liquid.
2. Boiling occurs rapidly whereas evaporation occurs slowly.
3. Evaporation occurs at any temperature whereas boiling occurs at a specific
temperature.
4. The motion of particles is fast in boiling whereas in evaporation few particles move
slowly and few at a faster rate.

Evaluation
1. Explain evaporation and boiling
2. State three differences between evaporation and boiling.

Factors influencing the rate of evaporation

Note: Air used here is a common example; however, the vapor phase can be other gases.
 Concentration of the substance evaporating in the air.
If the air already has a high concentration of the substance evaporating, then the given
substance will evaporate more slowly.
 Concentration of other substances in the air.
If the air is already saturated with other substances, it can have a lower capacity for the
substance evaporating.[citation needed]
 Flow rate of air.
This is in part related to the concentration points above. If "fresh" air (i.e., air which is
neither already saturated with the substance nor with other substances) is moving over the
substance all the time, then the concentration of the substance in the air is less likely to go
up with time, thus encouraging faster evaporation. This is the result of the boundary layer at
the evaporation surface decreasing with flow velocity, decreasing the diffusion distance in
the stagnant layer.
 Inter-molecular forces.
The stronger the forces keeping the molecules together in the liquid state, the more energy
one must get to escape. This is characterized by the enthalpy of vaporization.
 Pressure
Evaporation happens faster if there is less exertion on the surface keeping the molecules
from launching themselves.
 Surface area
A substance that has a larger surface area will evaporate faster, as there are more surface
molecules per unit of volume that are potentially able to escape.
 Temperature of the substance
the higher the temperature of the substance the greater the kinetic energy of the molecules
at its surface and therefore the faster the rate of their evaporation.
In the US, the National Weather Service measures the actual rate of evaporation from a
standardized "pan" open water surface outdoors, at various locations nationwide. Others do
likewise around the world. The US data is collected and compiled into an annual
evaporation map. The measurements range from under 30 to over 120 inches (3,000 mm)
per year.

TOPIC: THERMAL ENERGY I
Heat flow is the movement of heat (energy) from the interior of Earth to the surface.  The
source of most heat comes from the cooling of the Earth’s core and the radioactive heat
generation in the upper 20 to 40 km of the Earth’s crust.

Energy flows into your body from the surrounding air, from surrounding objects, and from
the sun when you're outside, or even light bulbs when you're inside. Energy also flows out
of your body into the surrounding air, into the surrounding objects, and even into outer
space, most notably if you are outside on a clear night. Heat flow moves energy from a
higher temperature to a lower temperature.    The bigger the difference in temperature
between two objects, the faster heat flows between them.   When temperatures are the
same, there is no change in energy due to heat flow. Heat has the units of energy; heat flow
has the units of power.

This type of energy transfer from one place to another place is driven by differences in
temperature and is called heat flow

Way Heat Flows

1) There has to be a temperature difference. Energy only flows as heat if there is a
temperature difference.
2) Energy as heat flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
3) The greater or larger the difference in temperature, the faster the energy flows.

EVALUATION
1. What do you understand by heat flow?
2. Mention the three things to know about heat flow
.
HEAT FLOWS
 Heat flow from the sun to the plants and algae and some types of bacteria is the
energizer of photosynthesis

2ND TERM/BASIC SCIENCE/JSS 2 Page 22

Name: ___________________________________________________________ Class: _______________
 A steam boiler converting the chemical energy stored in coal (in the old days) or fuel
oil or natural gas (more common nowadays), into "heat" which was used to convert
liquid water into gas phase water (steam to you laymen). The steam flowed up into
the radiators where its heat was transferred by conduction to the air and by
radiation to the objects in the room.
 Because of heat flow, cold-blooded reptiles and insects that live in cold climates only
come out in the summer. Heat flow is why there are a lot more reptiles and insects
in equatorial climates than arctic climates.
 Warm-blooded mammals and birds with their high metabolisms and hotter bodies
can live and move in some pretty cold places. But, because of heat flow, they have to
have good dry fur or feathers, or a good layer of blubber, and plenty of high energy
food to keep that body heat coming.
 When you put on a jacket in the winter, or wear shorts on a hot day, you are
adjusting your heat flow, trying to help your body keep its temperature very close to
38 degrees C (98.6 deg. F). It's a never ending struggle. Energy as heat is always
flowing out of, and into, your body.
 Car radiators are used to transfer heat out of the car engine.
 Elephant ears act like giant radiators to transfer heat out of their bodies.

Temperature is a measure of the average amount of kinetic energy possessed by the
particles in a sample of matter. The more the particles vibrate, translate and rotate, the

greater the temperature of the object. You have hopefully adopted an understanding of
heat as a flow of energy from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object. It
is the temperature difference between the two neighboring objects that causes this heat
transfer. Heat is transferred from the hot water to the cold water until both samples have
the same temperature.

Conductive heat flow involves the transfer of heat from one location to another in the
absence of any material flow. The mechanism in which heat is transferred from one object
to another object through particle collisions is known as conduction.

Applications
 cooling a glass in an ice bucket
 burning your hand on a hot tripod
 holding the handle of a pan

EVALUATION
1. Define temperature
2. What do you understand by conductive heat flow

Convection is the process of heat transfer from one location to the next by the movement
of fluids. The moving fluid carries energy with it. The fluid flows from a high temperature
location to a low temperature location. The two examples are heating water in a pot and
heating air in a room.

Application
 boiling water
 hot air balloon rising
 warm water on the surface of a lake and cold water at the bottom of the lake
 air condition cooling a room
 cooking rice in water

Radiation is the transfer of heat by means of electromagnetic waves. The transfer of heat by
radiation involves the carrying of energy from an origin to the space surrounding it. The
energy is carried by electromagnetic waves and does not involve the movement or the
interaction of matter.

Application
 Sun's light warming the Earth
 feeling warm when you sit in sunlight
 a pan above the stove burner
 barbeque meat with charcoal
Radiation for heat to reach the meat, conduction to cook it inside
