(10 cards)
what is the standard unit for energy
The standard unit for energy is kilojoules
what is the law of conservation
The law of conservation is that energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred form one energy store to another.
what is kinetic energy
kinetic energy applies to any moving object
what is a Gravitational Potential Store (GPE)
GPE applies to any object above the ground
what is elastic energy
Elastic energy apples to any object that is stretched
what is thermal energy
applies to any object that is hot
What is chemical energy
applies to any object
Can objects have multiple energy stores
yes
what do you have to do with joules to get to bigger measurements E.G Megajoules
To get from joules to bigger measurements you need to divide by 1000
how do you get from bigger measurements E.G. Kilojoules to joules
multiply by 1000
