Q

why do electrons move from positive to negative

A

because negative electrons are repealed by the negative end of the battery and is attracted to the positive end of the circuit

Q

what cant energy do

A

be created or destroyed

20
Q

what can energy do

A

be transferred from 1 store to another

21
Q

what is atomic/nuclear

A

stored inside atoms

22
Q

whats gravitational potential

A

objects in high positions

23
Q

what does chemical mean

A

food,fuel batterys

24
Q

what does kinetic mean

A

moving objects

25
what does thermal mean
hot objects
26
what does elastic potential mean
stretched object
27
what can energy be transferred between stores by
electricity light sound heating
28
what energy store is a kettle
thermal energy store
29
what do you use to measure heat
thermometer
30
what does conduction happen in
solids
31
what does convection happen in
liquids
32
what are non renewable gasses
there gasses that run out
33
what are some non renewable gasses
fossil fuel coal oil
34
what are the advantages of non renewable gasses
it generates electricity dissent release sulfur not expensive
35
what are dis advantages of non renewable gasses
will run out increases global warming releases carbon dioxide toxic waste in environment
36
what goes at the top of an equation triangle including time power and energy
energy
37
what goes bottom left and right on a equation triangle including power time and energy
bottom left: power bottom right: time
38
what are particals doing inside a blowen up baloon
mooving and coliding
39
how would you work out the power if the time was 40 sec and the energy was 70 j
firstly you ewould do energy devided by time as thats how it is on the triangle so it would be 70 divided by 40 wich is 1.75
40
if a balloon was deflated what would the particalls do
slow down
41
when do objects float
when the upthrust is the same size as the weight
42
what is pressure
Pressure is a measure of how much force is applied over a certain area
43
the bigger the weight equals to
the bigger pressure
44
bigger surface area equals to
smaller pressure
45
when do solids not sink
when the surface area is the same size as the weight
46
what goes at the top of the equation triangle if the units are force pressure and surface area
force
