Science Y8 Energy Flashcards
What different types of energy are there
Magnetic Kinetic Heat Light Gravitational Chemical Sound Elastic Electrical Nuclear. Most Kids Hate Learning G C S E Energy Names
Can energy be destroyed
Energy cannot be created or destroyed only transfered
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of a moving object
What is chemical energy?
The energy stored in fuel or a battery
What is gravitational energy?
The energy stored in an object due to its distance from the ground.
What is elastic energy?
The energy stored in a streached or squashed object.
What is heat energy?
Heat (or thermal) energy is the energy in something due to its heat.
What is magnetic energy?
The energy pulling two or more magnets togeather.
What is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom.
What are the four pathways.
The four pathways are how energy is transfered, they are:
Mechanically (when a force acts and something moves) Electrically (When a current flows) By heating (Because of a temperature difference) By radiation (waves) (A wave such as light microwaves or sound)
What is energy measured in?
J and Kj
What is power measured in?
W and Kw
What is 0°Kelvin
-273°C
What is power?
How fast energy is transfered from one object to another.
What is convection?
convection, process by which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water
