Y7-Energy Flashcards
Magnetic
Attraction or repulsión of magnets
Electrostatic
Attraction or repulsion between opposite charges
Thermal
Stored in hot things(the hotter=more energy)
Kinetic
Stored in moving objects
Chemical
Food, fuels or batteries
Elastic
Stretched, squashed or twisted
Find the energy transfer
Flame—>Water
Chemical —> thermal
Heating
Find the energy transfer
Man —>climbs to the top of a hill
Chemical—>gravitational
Mechanical
Gravitational(GPA)
Objects higher up=more energy
Law of conservation of energy
Energy can’t be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one store to another.
How do we measure energy
Joules
Convert Jouls—>KiloJouls
/1000
What do living things need energy for
For all life processes(mrs gren)
1kj =
1000J=
1KJ = 1000J
Joules
Kilojoules
Find the energy transfer
Ball on the top of a bench—>floor(pushed)—>bounces up
Gravitational—>kinetic(falls)—>elastic
Mechanical, heating and sounds(slows down(friction))
