Energy Flashcards
What is work done?
Transfer of Energy
What is the equation for work done?
Wd=Fd
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
KE= half mv squared
Define Thermal/heat energy?
energy transfered due to a difference in temperature
Name seven types of energy?
Kinetic, Thermal, Electrical, Chemical, sound, Light and GPE (gravitational potentional)
Define coservation of energy
Energy can not be created or destroyed
it can only be tranfered from one form to another
Radiation
Transfer of heat through electromagnetic radiation (light)
Evaporation
Cooling process
- most energetic particles escape from liquid leaving the average temperature lower.
Power
Work done in one second
What is the equation for power?
p=wd
—–
T
Conduction
Transfer of kinetic energy due to collision between atoms
Metals are good conductors because they have FREE electrons
Convection
Transfer of hear as a result of density difference catching a fluid to move
Convection 3 things it does
Heated fluid becomes less dense
Rises
Replaced by cooler denser air
