How would you define potential energy? What about kinetic energy?
Kinetic: energy moving and actively causing changes
Potential: energy stored in position
What are some different types of potential energy?
- Chemical
- Gravitational
- Elastic
- Nuclear
What are the types of kinetic energy?
- sound
- light
- thermal
- electrical
- mechanical
What are the 3 parts to a electrical generator?
- Input
- Converter
- Output
What does the law of conservation of energy state?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is the 2nd law of thermodynamics state?
No energy conversion is ever 100% effective
What is most common form of waste energy?
Thermal energy
What is percent efficiency?
How much imput energy Is converted into output energy with a percentage
How can you calculate percent efficiency in a energy converter
Efficiency = useful output ÷ total imput ×100
What is an electrical generator?
Uses principles of a magnet and wire to generate electricity for us to use
What are the 3 things you need for an electrical generator to work
- Magnet
- wire
- movement
What are thermoelectric power plants?
Used with a turbine
- nuclear: energy boils water to turn turbine
- Hydroelectric: moving water turns turbine
- Wind: physically moves turbine
What is power? How for you calculate it?
The rate of energy use ot the change in energy overtime
Power = energy ÷ time
P= watts
E= Joules
T= Seconds
What is a kilowatt hour? How do you calculate it?
How people measue how much energy you use in a month
E = P × T E = kilowatt- hour (kwh)
P = kilowatts. T = hours
What are communicable vs. Non-communicable diseases?
Communicable: Contagious
Non-Communicable: not Contagious
What is an epidemic vs. A pandemic?
Epidemic: only one geographical area
Pandemic: whole world
What is public health? What factors contribute?
Government preventing their citizens from getting sick
- safe drinking water
- check pollutants in the air
- prevents disease from spreading
What is an antigen vs. an antibody?
Antigen: unique proteins
Antibody: Y shaped proteins
What are the three lines of defense?
Physical defense: ex: eyelashes
Inflammatory: injury gets red and swollen
Antibodies: creates to attack pathogens
Genetics vs. Hereditary
Genetics: traits passed down from parents
Hereditary: characteristics passed down from parents
What is a genotype?
Traits that are controlled by one pair of genes are assigned a pair of letters
What are pedigree charts?
Family trees
What are mutations
Genes that can change due to radiation or dangerous chemicals
How do you read a graduated cylinder?
Before the dip at the measure line
