Conservative Of Energy (Chapter 10) Flashcards
What is energy?
Is the ability to do work
How to calculate work?
Force(F) x Distance (D)
How to calculate Energy?
Force (F) x Distance (D)
What is Gravitational potential energy ?
Is energy stored by a body due to its position in the gravitational force field
What is Chemical energy?
Is energy stored by a body due to its chemical state
What is Kinetic energy?
Is energy possessed by a body due to its motion
Energy stored in a atomic nuclear due to its physical state is what type of energy
Nuclear energy
Thermal energy transferred from hotter to cooler bodies are what type of energy?
Heat energy
Energy transferred by charged particles(eg electrons) are what type of energy?
Electrical energy
Energy transported as particles viberation through a material in the form of a wave is what type of energy?
Sound energy
What is Electromagnetic energy?
Is energy transported in forms of waves as electric and magnetic field viberation
The principal of conservation of energy state that?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one type to another
What is the energy transformation when a stone falling from a cliff and crashing to the ground
Gravitational potential energy—-> Kinetic energy—-> heat and sound energy
What energy transformation occurs when a diesel electric power station producting electricity?
Chemical potential energy—->heat energy—->Kinetic energy—->Electrical energy
What is Photosynthesis energy transformation?
Light energy—->Chemical energy
What is Nuclear Fission?
Is the splitting of a large atomic nucleus into smaller atomic nuclei
What is Nuclear Fusion?
Is joining of small atomic nuclei to form a larger atomic nucleus
Electricity in nuclear power plants is used to produce what?
Nuclear reactor
What transport and transfer of energy?
Conduction
Collision
Conversation
Waves
What transfer energy by waves?
Waves are produced by viberation
What are transverse waves?
Are waves that have crests and trough and transfer energy to perpendicular to the direction of viberation of their source
What are Longitudinal waves?
Are waves that have regions of high and low pressure
Three type of Electromagnetic waves are
Radio and Tv, X-rays and gamma rates
What is the velocity of a body?
Is its speed in a particular direction
