Energy Ch 2 Flashcards
Energy definition + measured in what units
Capacity to do work and produce a change
Joules
Différent forms of energy (13)
Chemical, nuclear, solar, radiant (heat), electric, thermal. Mechanic, kinetic, potential, wind + tide, elastic, sound , hydraulic
Thermal energy
Movement of particles
Heat
More substance + more thermal energy
Radiant energy
Electromagnetic waves
Microwaves make water molecules move faster
Solar radiation
Sun burn
Infra red
Ultra violet
Colours
Chemical energy
Energy stored between bonds
Combustion + example
Breaks bonds of molecules
Cellular respiration
Fire
Mechanical
Energy associated with speed & mass of an object
Hydro electricity
Potential ( mechanical ) + rules
Energy stored due to its height
Pe= (m) (g) (h)
Kinetic energy +rule
Energy converted into movement
Ke= (1,2) (m) (v2)
Law conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can change from one from to another
Energy transfer + example
One place to another
Ex: power lines
Energy transformation
One form to another
Ex: mr vans shocker
