Chapter 1 Flashcards
Chemical energy
Stored in chemical bonds
kinetic energy
energy due to object moving
GPE
energy due to position abv the ground
elastic potential energy
energy stored in a springy object when stretched or squashed
thermal energy
due to an objects temp
nuclear energy
energy stored in the nucleus
Describe changes in energy stores in a torch
chem store in the battery- electric current in the wires- energy transferred to surroundings- light waves and incr. in thermal energy store
Describe changes in energy stores when an object hits the fall
gpe stores- kinetic energy stores- energy transfer to surroundings- sound waves
Describe the peak of a rollercoaster
max gpe at highest point
Describe fall from peak
gpe transferred to kinetic energy store w/ some being converted to heat
