Physics Project [Energy Conversion]

[Thendi]

Homework Statement

Hi, I am a G12 Student and as part of our unit we are suppose to do a Summative Project.
The project is about making a prototype child seat, I have made my new design and I have started making it.

So far I have completed the new design and how it solves limitation of the old design.
and the car testing too.

Now the problem is I have to describe:

• Energy Conversion
• Types of Energy
• Momentum
• Conservation Of momentum
• Impulse Concept

in child seat, not the prototype I am doing but in general, All I need is some info on how to describe each point, Once I get idea I know how to complete the rest.

Homework Equations

I don't know which equation to use if I have to use any.

The Attempt at a Solution

I tired understanding the points I have listed but don't know how to start.

Thanks

for the help in advance.Energy Conversion: Energy conversion is the process of transforming energy from one form to another. For example, when a child seat is used in a car, the energy from the car's engine is converted into kinetic energy, which is then used to propel the vehicle forward.Types of Energy: There are several types of energy that can be used in a child seat. These include kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, and chemical energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy due to the forces of gravity or other forces. Thermal energy is energy that is generated by the heat of an object, while electrical energy is generated by the flow of electrons through a conductor. Chemical energy is energy that is released during a chemical reaction.Momentum: Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. In a child seat, the momentum of the seat is the result of the mass of the seat and the velocity of the car.Conservation of Momentum: Conservation of momentum is an important concept in physics, which states that the total momentum of objects before and after a collision is the same. This means that if a child seat is in a car, the total momentum of the car and seat will remain the same, regardless of the speed or direction of the car.Impulse Concept: The impulse concept in physics states that the change in momentum of an object is proportional to the force applied to it over a certain period of time. In a child seat, the force applied to the seat is the result of the car's acceleration or deceleration, and the change in momentum is the result of the seat being pushed forward or backwards.
