Energy Flashcards
Specific heat capacity definition
Amount of energy required to raise a mass of 1kg of material by 1oC
Heat energy depends on
What the object is made of
Mass of the object
Work done definition
Energy used to move an object from a to b
Work done depends on
Overall Force applied
Distance that it’s being moved to
Power definition
Energy used per second
What does an objects kinetic energy depend on??
Mass
Speed
Gravitational potential energy
Mass
Height
Gravitational field strength
Energy
The ability to do work (j)
Law of energy
The conservation of energy States that energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change from one form to another
Specific latent heat
The energy given or removed from a substance of 1kg mass without any change of temperature
Pressure
The force applied per unit surface area
