Kinectic energy store meaning
Moving objects have kinetic energy
Thermal energy store meaning
All objects have thermal energy with a certain temperature
Chemical energy store meaning
Anything that releases during a chemical reaction
Elastic potential meaning
Something stretched
Gravitational pull meaning
Anything that is raised
Electrostatic meaning
Charges that attract or repel
Magnetic meaning
Magnet that can attract or repel
Nuclear meaning
The the nuclease of an atom releases energy
Wha are the way that energy can be transferred
Mechanically - when work is done
Electrically -when moving charge doesn’t work
Heating - when energy transfers from a hot object to a cold one
Waves
Conversation of energy
It can’t be created or destroyed just transfers from one from another
Does lubricants reduce the amount of energy because of friction
Yes
Conduction meaning
When a solid is heated the particles vibrate and collide more
Convection meaning
When a liquid or gas is heated the particles move faster
Insulation meaning
Reduces the amount of heat lost
Ways of insulation
Thick walls
Thermal insulation
Loft insulation
Non renewable meaning g
It provide most energy but will run out such as oill
Renewable meaning
They will never run out but dosent provide much energy
Solar add and diss
Solar uses sunlight
Add- renewable no pollution in sunny countries its reliable
Diss- only works during the day
Geothermal(energy of hot rocks ) add and diss
Add -renewable and reliable as rocks are always hot
Diss - may releases greenhouse gases
