1
Q

Mechanical energy

A

The energy of moving objects or objects with moving parts

2
Q

Thermal energy

A

Things are got because their atoms and molecules are vibrating

3
Q

Thermal energy examples

A

Any object that has a temperature above -273* Celsius has thermal energy

4
Q

Sound energy

A

Vibrating objects cause sound waves in the air which travels to the ear

5
Q

Sound energy examples

A

Drums, speakers, voices

6
Q

Gravitational potential energy

A

A raised object has the ability to to fall and cause damage

7
Q

Examples of gravitational potential energy

A

Water in a dam, anything held off the ground

8
Q

Elastic potential energy

A

A stretched or squashed object will move and exert a force as it returns to its natural shape

9
Q

Example of elastic potential energy

A

Bent branch, spring, squashed pillow

10
Q

Chemical potential energy

A

The chemical that make things give out light or heat under certain conditions

11
Q

Example of chemical potential energy

A

Gas for cooking, paper, food, dynamite

12
Q

Electrical energy

A

The energy that electrons have when they are forced to move by an electric charge

13
Q

Example of electrical energy

A

Electricity from a battery, generator, lightning

14
Q

Light energy

A

Any form of electromagnetic radiation given off by light, laser, star, etc

15
Q

Example of light energy

23
Q

If you wanted to test energy efficiency with a solar panel what are three variables that you could test

A

Light amount, temperature, type of motor

24
Q

Why is it important to test one variable at a time?

A

To get the most accurate results on each variable to come out with the best outcome

25
Q

How to you calculate electrical power?

A

Power= current (input) x volts

26
Q

How do you find percentage efficiency?

A

Bounce height
——————– x 100
Drop height

27
Q

What is a pulse?

A

A pulse is a single disturbance

28
Q

What is a wave?

A

A wave is a repetitive motion

29
Q

Why do waves need a medium?

A

Because it needs a material to disturb to send the wave

30
Q

How do you figure out speed?

A

Distance
Speed = ———–
Time

31
Q

What is a sound wave?

A

A regular vibration passed through a medium to our ears, it is a longitudinal wave

32
Q

How is a loud sound different from a soft sound?

A

Loud sounds vibrate more than soft sounds

33
Q

What unit is sound frequency measured in?

A

Hurtz

34
Q

What range of frequencies can humans hear on average?

A

20-20,000 Hz

35
Q

What is the difference between high frequency sounds and low frequency sounds?

A

A high frequency sound has more vibrations per second compared to a lower frequency sound.

36
