Q

what are Energy trasformations. dont have to list all

A

Chemical to Thermal: When you burn a fuel like wood, gas, or coal, chemical energy stored in the fuel is transformed into thermal energy (heat) and light energy.

Electrical to Light: In an incandescent light bulb or a fluorescent tube, electrical energy is converted into light energy.

Electrical to Sound: In speakers, electrical energy is transformed into sound energy.

Potential to Kinetic: When you drop an object, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls..

Q

what is conduction

A

when two objects are in contact, heat ransfers from the hotter one ionto the cooler one untill they reach the same temp
eg when you hold a cold waterbottle it heats up in the place were you hand was

11
Q

what is convection

A

the transfer from heat to liquid and gas,
eg when you are bolling water the stove will make the particals rise becuse hotter = less dense and the lesser dense particals the more they will rise opposite for cool

Q

radiation

A

heat spreads outwards as a wave from any hot object
doesn’t require the movement of particles

16
Q

wasted energy

A

energy that is made but not needed

17
Q

how do u calculate how much useful energy is converted into useful out put energy

A

useful divided by inupt x100

18
Q

howis sound enerngy produced

what particals

A

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating objects that travels in the form of waves

19
Q

how does sound travel

A

it travels buy sound waves

20
Q

what type of energy is vibrating particles/ potential or kinetic

A

kinetic because it moves

21
Q

electomagnetic specturm

A

The electromagnetic spectrum is like a rainbow made of invisible light. It includes all kinds of light, from radio waves, which are like the long waves at the bottom of the rainbow, to gamma rays, which are like the short waves at the top. Each type of light has different uses, like helping us see, cook food in a microwave, or take pictures of our bones at the doctor’s office.

22
Q

what is high and low frequency

A

high=vibrating particles quickly
low=vibrating particles slower

23
Q

what is pitch

A

how high or low a sound is
(finn has a really high pitch)

24
Q

higher frencey is shorter or longer wavelength

A

shorter

25
Q

what surface absorbs sound

A

a soft surface eg if you scream into a pillow it absorbes the sound making it more quiet

26
Q

what surface makes sound echo

A

flat surface

27
Q

what surface causes dffusion

A

uneven/ rough

28
Q

which type of energy is the fastest

A

light energy because when you watch fire works u see them before you here them

29
Q

how does light move

A

Light moves in straight lines called rays. It travels very fast, bouncing off objects and into our eyes, allowing us to see.

30
Q

what is reflection

A

bounce of a surface eg when you look in a mirror your reflection bonuces of the mirrior

31
Q

what is refration

A

bending of light
As the straw enters the water, it appears to bend or break at the surface of the water.

32
Q

what is dispersion

A

Dispersion is when white light is separated into its component colors. An example is when sunlight passes through a prism and creates a rainbow of colors on a surface.
