4. Eergy rescources & Energy transfers Flashcards
(36 cards)
name 10 energy types and an example of each
come with rhyme to help remember
chemical- foods, fuels, batteries kinetic- anything moving gravitational-anything which can fall elastic- springs, rubber bands thermal- heat ( flows from hot objects to cold) magnetic- electrostatic nuclear- nuclear reactions light- sun, light bulbs sound- speakers
name 4 ways of energy transfers
mechanically
electrically
heating
radiation ( light and sound)
conservation of energy law
energy can not be created or destroyed it can only be transferred from one form to another
efficiency equation
efficiency = useful energy output / total energy input ( x 100 for % )
examples- energy transfer in tv
electrical -> light + sound ( heat = waste )
be able to show energy transfers on a Sankey diagram
???
what 3 ways can thermal ( heat) energy be transferred
convection- liquids + gases
conduction- solids
radiation- solids, liquids, gases
radiation is the transfer of heat energy by ?
electromagnetic waves
convection + conduction is the transfer of heat energy by ?
particles
definition of conduction
the process where vibrating particles pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighbouring particles
definition of convection
occurs when the more energetic particles move from the hotter region to the cooler region and take the heat energy with them
what are convection currents all about
changes in density
explain the role of convection in everyday phenomena
??? radiator - (hot less dense air by radiator rises and denser cooler air flows to replace it )
??? Immersion heater
explain how emission and absorption of radiation are related to surface and temp.
??? an object that is hotter than its surroundings emits more radiation than it absorbs ( as it cools down)
an object that is cooler than its surroundings absorbs more radiation than it emits ( as it warms down)
explain ways of reducing unwanted energy transfer ( in a house )
- loft insulation- thick layer of fiberglass wool laid on loft floor + ceiling = less heat loss y conduction and convection
- double glazing - 2 layers of glass with narrow air gap between = less conduction and convection
how does insulation work
???
how do humans reduce heat transfer
- cold= hairs on skin stand up = trap thick layer of insulating air around the body= limits amount of heat loss by convection
- clothes pockets of air trapped in clothes + between layers = reduce heat loss by convection + conduction
- clothes = material absorbs some heat radiated by bodies= reduce heat loss by radiation
work done equation
work done = force x distance moved ( in direction of force)
what is work done = to
energy transferred
GPE equation
gravitational potential energy = mass x gravitational field strength x height
kinetic energy ( KE) equation
kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity ( speed) “2 ( squared)
due to the conversation of energy what is the link between GPE and KE
GPE lost = KE gained
how would you describe power
the rate of transfer of energy
the rate of doing work
power equation
power = work done / time taken
