energy stores (8)
- chemical
- kinetic
- gravitational
- elastic
- thermal
- magnetic
- electrostatic
- nuclear
energy can be transferred in 4 ways
- mechanically
- electrically
- by heating
- by radiation
efficiency calculation when useful energy output and total energy input is involved.
efficiency = useful energy output/ total energy input x 100 percent
Sankey diagrams
represent transfer of input and output energy
conductors
thermal energy in solids and liquids can be transferred by vibration of particles
convection
thermal energy in fluids (liquids and gas)
black bodies that are dull
absorb and emit radiation
white shiny bodies
best reflect radiation
calculation when work is done when a force moves something through a distance?
work done = force x distance
link between kinetic energy, mass and speed squared
kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x speed square
power is
the rate at which energy is transferred or rate at which work is done
the rate at which energy is transferred or the rate at which work is done is defined as …
power
calculation of power when time taken and work done are involved?
power = work done/ time taken
renewable energy which can be replenished (4)
- wind
- water
- geothermal
- solar
non- renewable energy (2)
- fossil fuels
- nuclear power
