Q

What is the law of conservation of energy?

A

Energy can’t be created or destroyed. It doesn’t disappear, it is just transformed from one form to another.

Q

What is potential mechanical energy?

A

The energy a body possessed because of its position

17
Q

What is thermal energy?

A

Heat energy

The movement of particles that are constantly in motion

18
Q

What is radiant energy?

A

Solar or light waves. Energy caused by the movement of electromagnetic waves

19
Q

What is sound energy?

A

Energy in the form of wave motion (vibrating matter)

20
Q

What is kinetic electrical energy?

A

Moving electrons from one point to another in a conductor

21
Q

What is potential electrical energy?

A

Stored electrons not moving

22
Q

What is chemical energy?

A

Energy stored in chemical substances or combounds

23
Q

What is nuclear energy?

A

Atomic energy. The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

24
Q

What is the crest?

A

Highest point on a wave

25
What is the trough?
Lowest point on a wave
26
Do waves have more energy when they have shorter lengths or longer lengths?
Shorter wave lengths
27
What’s a physical change?
The substance looks different, but its nature hasn’t been changed. No new substances are formed
28
What are the 3 types of physical changes?
Phase Change, dissolution and deformation
29
What happens when energy is added to a gas, liquid or solid?
The particles do not change, just the force of attraction between them
30
What happens when energy is added to a liquid?
When you heat a liquid, you add energy. The particles absorb this energy, which makes them move faster and faster, changing the force of attraction between them
31
What’s dissolution?
Dissolving a solute and solvent to make a solution by storing them to combine
32
What happens with energy in dissolution?
some substances either release energy (exothermic reaction)or absorb energy (endothermic reaction)
33
What’s deformation?
Changing the shape
34
What happens when two or more substances react in a chemical change?
They make something new (product)
35
What are th 4 indicators of a chemical change?
1) change in colour 2) formation of gas 3) formation of a precipitate 4) generation of light
36
Where does cellular respiration in the body occur?
Mitochondria
37
What does the mitochondria take in during cellular respiration and what does it release?
It takes in glucose and oxygen | It releases CO2, water and energy
