Q

Where does energy waste go

A

It is dissipated (spreads out) and cannot he used for other useful enerrgy transfers - it is wasted

16
Q

How is energy transferred through a solid

A

Conduction : one way of transferring heat by vibrations being passed on from one particle to another

17
Q

What happens when liquid is heated

A

Heated fluid particles gain energy, they move and spread out more. Fluid becomes lsss dense

18
Q

Radiation

A

Way of energy transfer. Used to signify transfer of energy by heating

19
Q

Gravitational potential energy

A

Energy stored because of an objects position in gravitational feild

20
Q

Amount if gpe stored depends on

A

Mass of an object , how far object is moved upwards, strength if gravity

21
Q

Gpe formula

A

Mass x gravitational feild strength x change in vertical height = change in gpe

22
Q

Kinetic energy formula

A

Speed2 x mass x 1/2 = ke
