Test Flashcards
Energy Stores
chemical (e.g. fuel + oxygen)
kinetic (in a moving object)
gravitational (due to the position of an object in a gravitational field)
elastic (e.g. in a stretched or compressed spring)
thermal (in a warm object)
magnetic (in two separated magnets that are attracting, or repelling)
electrostatic (in two separated electric charges that are attracting, or repelling)
nuclear (released through radioactive decay, fission or fusion)
How do you measure energy in foods
Kilojoules and joules
How many joules is in one gram calorie
1 gram calorie is equivalent to 4.186 joules
How do you transfer chemical energy from a coal into thermal energy
You burn the substance, coal (a fossil fuel).
Conservation law
Energy can’t disappear, only transfer
Non renewable
Renewable
Non-renewable resource if when a resource can not be used for then once to release energy. Eg coal, oil and gas.
Renewable resources can be used for then once to create energy like wind, tidal, waves, Biomass and Solar and wood.
Thermal Energy
The hotter the energy store the more thermal energy it has (steam train)
Kinetic energy
Anything that moves has energy in it’s kinetic energy store (busk)
Chemical energy
Anything with energy which can be realised by a chemical reaction (food)
Electrical energy
Anything that is electric has an electrical energy store (light)
Light energy
Any light has light energy in its waves there is energy
Magnetic energy
Tow magnets that attract or repel have energy in there magnetic energy store (magnetic energy)
Elastic potential energy
Any thing that can stretch has energy in its elastic potential energy store (elastic band)
Gravitational potential energy
Anything that can fall has gravitational potential energy (weights)
Electrostatic energy stores
This is when one energy store transfers its energy to an other energy
Energy transfers
This is when one energy store transfers its energy to an other energy store giving one energy store more energy and the other less.
Protein
Meat, fish, lentils helps you grow and repairs tissue
Carbohydrates
Sugar,starch,fibre = helps skin, hair brain cells…
Minerals
Iron, calcium = bones,teeth and to make blood cells
Fats or lipids
Nuts, dairy, meat = provides energy installation
Water
Helps to hydrate you
How do you calculate work
Force x distance
Conduction
Conduction is a heat source conducting (transferring) energy through out and object by particles colliding with one another as they vibrate
Convection?
Convection is the transfer of energy when a heat source condenses and rises and cooler particles replace the hotter particles as they push forward (convection current)
How many main nutrients that are found in food
There are 6
