Energy Flashcards
Types of energy (name at least 3)
Thermal , light, sound , elastic , gravitational, kinetic, electrical , chemical , nuclear
Chemical
Food , fuel , batteries
Kinetic
Moving objects
Thermal
Hot objects
Elastic
Stretched , sqashed , twisted objects
Gravitational
Objects in high position
Atomic/nuclear
Stored inside atoms
Atomic/nuclear
Stored inside atoms
How can we transfer energy from place to place
Energy can also be transferred between stores by: electricity, light ,sound , heating, forces
Which firms of energy are not stores
Types of energy that cannot be stored are light, sound and electrical energy
Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be destroyed or created only transfered
How to work out efficiency
Useful energy given out by the device÷ energy put into it = efficiency
Where does energy waste go
It is dissipated (spreads out) and cannot he used for other useful enerrgy transfers - it is wasted
How to reduce energy waste
Friction between moving parts can be reduced by lubrication
How to prevent hest transfer (name 3)
Cavity wall insulation , double glazing, curtains, draught proofing , roof/loft insulation, reflecting oil in or on walls
