What are the 2 types of energy
Kinetic and potential
What is energy measured in
joules
What is the relationship between work and energy
Work = force x distance
Power = Work done/ Time taken
Horsepower = work done/33000 x time
What are the 3 methods of heat transfer
Conduction (solid contact)
Convection (Thermal currents)
Radiation (The sun)
