Engery stores Flashcards
How is energy transferred?
Engery is transfered mechanically (by a force doing work) electrically( work done by moving charges )
by heating or by radiation
Kinetic energy (Ke)
Movement - energy stored in a moving object
Chemical
Reactions - when you mix 2 substances together and they react in a certain way
Internal
Heat- something that is heated/ such as the sun
Gravitational potential ( G.P.E)
When something is lifted of the ground e.g aeroplane
Magnetic
Attraction/ repulsion - when magnetic pieces repel or attract each other
Electro static
Electricity
Elastic potential (E.P.E)
Stretch/ sqaush - e.g when you stretch out an elastic band and it comes back.
Nuclear energy
The energy inside the nucleus of an atom
Equation for G.P.E
M x g x h
Mass x gravity x change in height
Equation for E.P.E
1/2 x k x e squared
1/2 x spring constant x extension squared
Equation for K.E
1/2 x m x v squared
1/2 x mass x speed squared
What is energy measured in ?????
Joules
