Q

describe all change involed in way ernergy is stored when system change:
object projected upward, moving object hit obstacle, object accelertaed by constant force

A

Kinetic energy store its movement upward due to motion, to then gravitional energy store to slow down when back down its postio grav frield.
Move object kinetic energy, to then thermal stor when hit particles as it heats up from motion and potential one point to another .
Object accerlated due to chemical store by interaction and to kinetic energy as forces .

Q

decribe change involed energy store
vehicle slowing down
bring water to boil in kettle

A

vehcile slow due to kinetic energy decrease by its thermal store of heat and grvaitional deacreases.
ketle filled with water, electrical store from socket to flow the heat into ketle by thermal eenrgy to kinetic in bubbling and start motion from heat and potnetial.

16
Q

describe with examples where there are
energy transfers in a closed system, that there is no net change to
the total energry.

A

An example of phone placed in a jar and trapped with lid on top. As the jar and phone heats up from thermal energy, and transfers around the surrounding in jar, to one point to another in reverse. There is no net change to the total energy as it cannot leave the jar.

17
Q

describe, with examples, how in all
system changes energy is dissipated, so that it is stored in less
useful ways. (unwanted energy

A

An example of charging your phone, the electric energy comes from the socket that then flows into the phone in chemical energy store of group particles, and thermal. When using your phone while charging, there is system change as it is dissipated to spread out energy as, it goes screen light energy and speaker for sound energy, in spreading out the rest of unwanted energy.

18
Q

explain ways of reducing unwanted
energy transfers, examples through lubrication.

A

Lubrication - to reduce fricition and less thermal. When peddling bike, the wheel and chain gain heat from fricition movement in same reverse direction , makes the heat and hard work. Applying lubrication of oil on the chains bracket, is to reduce friciton and unwated energy transfer due to thermal heat arises by hard work.

19
Q

Explain ways of reducing unwanted
energy transfers, for example through the use of
thermal insulation

A

Use of thermal insulation - reduce heat transfer from trapping warm air. Can be, making sure houses are sealed for air not able to pass outside by convenction. to make sure warm air trapped. AND, foam seals aroun door, closing curtains.

20
Q

describe how the rate of cooling of a
building is affected by the thickness and thermal conductivity of its
walls.

A

thin walls with high thermal conductivty will conduct thermal energy the quickets and cool down rapidly.

21
Q

What is conduction

A

it is how thermal energy travel through soilds.

22
Q

what is convection

A

occurs when lot’s of heat enrgy in gas or liquid, moves around and take particles to less thermal energy.

23
Q

the higher the thermal conductivity of material =…. rate of energy

A

the higher rate of energy transfer by conduction across material

24
Q

efficieny answer must alwasy be

A

a decimal or percentage

25
Q

effiencieny equation

A

effieciy = useful power (energy transfer) / input power (energy trnasfer)

26
Q

what is renewable

A

energy resource that can be replenished

27
Q

what is non-renewable

A

energy resouce cannot be replaced, runs out.

28
Q

main energy resource

A

fossil fuel ( coal,oil,gas ), nuclear fuel,biofuel, wind, hydroelectricity, geothermal

29
Q

types 2 renewable energy + issue

A

biofuel, trans + elec = larger area needed to grow full crops + expensive.
Water hydroelecricity, ele + gen = large are needed to flood + displace homres.

30
Q

2 renewable energy + issue

A

Geothermal, heat+ele+gen= limnated place avaible
Solar, elec+heat+gen= high cost + depend light intensity.

31
Q

1 type of non-renewable and issue

A

Oil, trans+heat= burning produce carbon dioxide

32
Q

2 types of non-renewable and issue

A

Coal, trans+elec+gen+heat= reliable output + burn produce greenhouse gas.
Gas, trans+elec+gen+heat= Reliable output + burn produce carbon doxide.

33
Q

Why are some energy resources are more reliable than others and whihc one.

A

Energy resource in non-renewable in coal and gas, they are reliable output because use of all energy resource in transport, electricity, genertaion, heating than others all use 2 or 3.
