Unit 1: Energy Equations Flashcards
What is the equation to work out kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x speed^2
What is the equation to work out Gravitational Potential Energy?
GPE = mass x gravitational field strength x height
What is the equation to work out power?
Power = Work done/ time taken = energy transferred/time taken
What is the equation to work out efficency? (2)
Efficiency = useful energy output / total energy output
Efficiency = useful power outpout / total power input
What is the equation to work out elastic potential energy?
EPO = 1/2 x spring constant x (extension)^2
What is the equation to work out change in thermal energy?
Change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
