Q

What happens to a falling objects energy as its kinetic energy store decreases?

A

Some or all of its energy is transferred to the sorroundings. The thermal energy store of the sorroundings increases and energy is also transferred by sound waves

Q

What is work done to overcome friction?

A

Transferred as energy to the thermal energy stored of the objects that run together and to the sorroundings

20
Q

What is gravitational potential energy?

A

How much higher or lower you are than sea level

21
Q

What is the gravitational potential energy with units?

A

Gpe(joules)= mass(kg) X gravitational field strength(N/kg) X height(m)

22
Q

What is the value of gravity atop Al field strength always on earth?

A

9.8N/kg

23
Q

What is the weight equation with units?

A

Weight= Mass X gravitational field strength

24
Q

What is the change in an objects GPE store equation with units?

A

GPE(joules)= weight(N) X change of height(m)

25
Q

Is the gravitational attraction the surface of the moon more or less than earths surface?

A

Less

26
Q

What is the kinetic energy equation with units?

A

Kinetic energy( joules) = 0.5 X mass(kg) X speed squared( m/s squared)

27
Q

What does the energy in the kinetic energy store of a moving object depend on?

A

It’s mass and speed

28
Q

What is elastic potential energy?

A

The energy stored in an elastic object when work is done on the object

29
Q

What is the elastic potential energy equation with units?

A

Elastic potential energy(joules) = 0.5 X spring constant( N/m) X extension squared( m squared)

30
Q

What is useful energy?

A

The energy in the place we want it and in the form we need it

31
Q

What is wasted energy?

A

The energy that is not useful energy and is transferred by a undesired pathway

32
Q

What happens to wasted energy?

A

Transferred to the surroundings which become warmer

33
Q

What happens as energy dissipates?

A

It gets less and less useful

34
Q

In simple terms, what does dissipates mean?

A

How things loose energy/ spreads out

35
Q

What is the efficiency equation?

A

Efficiency= (usefull energy transferred divided by energy supplied to appliance) X 100

36
Q

What can no energy transfer be more than?

A

100%

37
Q

How do machines waste energy?

A

Friction between their moving parts, air resistance, electrical resistance and noise

38
Q

How can machines be made more efficient?

A

By reducing the energy they waste eg lucbrication is used to reduce friction between moving parts.

39
Q

What is the maximum efficiency?

A

1 or 100%

40
Q

What supplies most of the energy used in a home?

A

Electricity and gas and/ or oil

41
Q

What form of energy does electrical appliances transfer energy in?

A

Useful

42
Q

What is power?

A

The rate of transfer of energy

43
Q

What is the power equation with units?

A

Power(watts) = Energy transferred to appliance(joules) divided by time taken( seconds)

44
Q

What is the efficiency equation?

A

Efficiency= (useful power out divided by total power in) X 100

45
Q

What is the power wasted equation?

A

Power wasted= total power in - useful power out
