17
Q

V^2- u^2 = 2 x a x X

A

(final velocity)^2 - (initial velocity)^2 = 2 x acceleration x displacement

18
Q

How do find the gradient

A

Change in y / change in x

19
Q

efficiency =

A

efficiency = (useful energy out) / (total energy in)

20
Q

GPE=

A

GPE=mass x gravity x change in height

21
Q

KE =

A

KE= 1/2 x mass x velocity^2

22
Q

Thermal conductivity =

A

How easily a material loses heat energy

23
Q

Convection =

A

A transfer by heating that involves particles moving and colliding

24
Q

Conduction =
