Energy Flashcards
What is Energy Transfer?
Changes from one form of energy to another form of energy.
What is the Conservation of Energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed It can be stored, dissipated or transferred from one form into another.
What is Internal Energy?
Energy is stored in all materials, including energy due to the motion of particles and the forces between them.
What is Kinetic Energy?
The energy which an object possesses by being in motion.
What is Elastic Potential Energy?
Energy is stored in squashed, stretched or twisted materials.
What is Gravitational Potential Energy?
The energy stored by an object is lifted up against the force of gravity. Also known as GPE.
What is Thermal Energy Store?
Energy is stored when an object is warmed up.
What is Work Done?
Work is done when a force makes an object move a distance, energy is transferred.
What is Power?
The rate of work done. Or The energy transferred per second.
What is Fossil Fuel?
Natural, finite fuel is formed from the remains of living organisms, e.g. oil, coal and natural gas.
What is Non-Renewble?
A resource that cannot be replaced when it is used up, such as natural gas or cold.
What is Renewable?
An energy resource that will not run out, e.g. solar energy and wind energy
