How to calculate gpe
Mass(kg) times hight(1m) times gravity
How do you calculate ke
Mass(kg) times 1/2 times velocity(m/s) square
How do you calculate epe (Electric potential energy)
Times the N/m and the M square the M and then divide by 2
How do you calculate mechanical work
Cm divide by 100 the answer you get times by your N
The law of conservation energy
Energy can be transferred usefully stored or displaced but it can not be created or destroyed
The law of conservation energy diagram
System object or a group of objects
A closed system is where no energy can enter or leave
Start have the max store of gpe
Swing has kinetic swings back up gpe
Friction at the fricted point and the part were air passed
It gradually gets hotter THESS PARTS OF THERMAL ENGRY are less useful scientists called it dissipated
Reducing unwanted energy transfers
We can reduce unwanted energy transfers by reducing friction
Use lubricants e.g oil on the fitted point
Remove air particles from around the pendulum
Energy transfers bungee jumper
All gpe as the person fall the gpe is transfer to kinetic energy when the rope starts to tithe the kinetic energy is at the maximum then when the rope is fully extended the kinetic energy is at 0 bc the person is not moving all energy at elastic reverses when it recoils
Bungee jumper
The bungee never return to its final position bc the energy is dissipated to thermal energy
Work is done
Work os done whenever engery is transferred to one store to another
See it in mechanical work using a force to move an object electrical invokes using a current to Transfer energy
Mechanical work
A dog pulling a sledge
Chemical energy stored in the dog to
Kinetic energy stored in the sledge acting in the sledge and the ground
Thermal energy stored in the sledge and the ground
Work done equation
Work done (j) = force (n) x distance (m)
Thermal conductivity
The higher the thermal conductivity of materials the higher the rate of energy transfer by conduction across that material
Reduce cooling buildings
Pack cavity with an insulating material which low the rate of thermal conductivity
Single glazed window
High thermal conductivity
Dubbed glazed low thermal conductivity
Thermal in roof of the house
Reduce by loft insulation
Power
Power is the rate which energy is transferred or the rate at which work is done
Power (w) energy transferred(j) divided by the time (s)
Power (w) work done (j) divide by the time (s)
