3.7 where does energy go? Flashcards
what is useful energy?
when energy is changed the way we want
what is wasted energy
energy that is changed in way we do not want and do not use
what is dissipated energy
energy that spreads out where there is no use for it
define recovered
collected and used again
draw an energy conversion diagram to show what happens when water is heated
chemical > thermal
draw an energy conversion diagram to show energy transferred in motorcyles. which energy is wasted or dissipated and which energy is useful?
chemical > thermal
> kinetic
> sound
thermal — wasted
kinetic — useful
sound — wasted
how much energy is transferred into useful energy and how much energy is transferred into wasted energy?
25% useful
75% wasted
draw an energy conversion diagram to show energy transferred in light bulbs. which energy is wasted or dissipated and which energy is useful?
chemical > light
> thermal
light is useful energy
thermal is wasted energy
