Physic equations Flashcards
work done = force applied x ——–
distance moved along the line of action in force
work done equation using units
Joules = newtons x meters
J=n x m
kinetic energy( joules)= 1/2 x
mass(KG) x speed (M/S)
what experminet do you use in order for you to be able to investigate kinetic energy stores and gravitational potentioal
roling a ball down a ramp showing the increase in speed will show the transfer of energy
from gravitational potentioal energy to kinetic energy
what is useful energy and wasted energy
useful energy is when energy is transferred to what it should be
and wasted is energy transfered to something it shouldnt be
energy transfer for including what is wasted and useful for a lightbulb
chemical energy - light and heat
light useul
heat wasteful
efficenty equation
useful output energy transfered to supply
________________________________
total input energy to device
power equation(x) = energy tranfer to applience (j)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
fill in x
time taken to be transfered and Watts (W)
power wasted =
total power - useful power
what makes a good insulator
1) the thermal conductivity being very low
2) the thickness of the insulator should be as thick as possible
what parts of the infrared radiation get through the sun
infared radiation and visible light
what type of radiation allows you to see in the dark and detects heat
infared radiation
why is tin foil used to keep people warm
due to the fact it lets out a lot of heat so it keeps people very warm
specific heat capacity is what
the amount of energy
