Energy Flashcards
Kenetic energy
Energy of something moving
Gravetation (p) energy
An object or thing which has gravatity
Thermal/heat energy
This is something which produces or makes heat energy
Thermal/heat energy
This is something which produces or makes heat energy
Chemical potential energy
Is something which contains chemicals
Nucleaur energy
This is something which is nucelaur
Elastic p energy
Is energy stored in an object when it is stretchy
Energy measurement?
Is in joules
Energy transfering
Energy can be transferred (moved from one system to another) or transformed (changed from one form to another).
Energy Chain Example:
• Chemical energy (from food) → Kinetic energy (movement of muscles) → Thermal energy (heat generated from body movement).
How to calculate energt effeciancy
Enerfy efficiancy =useful energy output/total energy output x 100
Temperature vs. Thermal Energy
Temperature: A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
• Thermal Energy: The total energy (kinetic + potential) of the particles in a substance.
Conductors vs. Insulators
Conducters
Conductors: Materials that allow heat to flow easily.
• Example: Metals (like copper and aluminum).
• Insulators: Materials that resist heat flow.
• Example: Wood, plastic, rubber.
Heat Transfer Methods
- Conduction: Transfer of heat through direct contact.
• Example: A metal spoon heating up in a pot of hot soup.- Convection: Transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).
• Example: Warm air rising and cool air sinking in a room. - Radiation: Transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
• Example: The warmth felt from sunlight or a campfire.
- Convection: Transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).
Renewable energy sources. And no renewable sorces
Renewable Energy Sources: Sources that can be replenished naturally over time.
• Examples: Solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, and biomass.
• Non-Renewable Energy Sources: Sources that cannot be replenished on a human timescale.
• Examples: Coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy.
