9.3 Energy Flashcards
(17 cards)
What are the energy transfers?
Chemical, kinetic, gravitational, elastic, thermal, magnetic, Electro static, nuclear
How can chemical stores be changed?
Chemical reaction
How can kinetic stores be changed?
Change the speed
How can gravitational stores be changed?
Change the height
How can elastic stores be changed?
Stretch or compress
How can thermal stores be changed?
Change the temperature
How can magnetic stores be changed?
Distance between magnets
How can electrostatic stores be changed?
Distance between charges
What is energy measured in ?
Joules
Conservation of energy meaning
The total amount of Energy cannot change
Common wasted energy
Thermal store, sound radiation
Equation for calculation efficiency
Efficiency= useful energy transferred / total energy transferred (J) x 100
Work done?
Work done = force x distance moved
Gravitational potential energy
mass x gravitational field strength x height
Kinetic energy?
1/2 x mass x speed squared
Sanjay diagrams
The width of the arrow represents how much energy is being transferred electrically
How does conservation of energy produce a link between gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy and work done?
If done is done to raise an object GP is increased in KE is decreased if work is done to lower an object GP is decreased and KE is increased
