1
Q

kettle

A

electrical energy > heat energy

2
Q

how do you calculate ‘ work’?

A

work done= force* distance moved ( in the direction of the force)

3
Q

thermal energy ( heat)

A

this is the energy that comes from hot things when they cool down

3
Q

how do you find kinetic energy? give word equation

A

Kineteic energy= 1/2* mass* speed2

K.E. = 1/2 mv2

4
Q

speakers

A

electrical energy > sound energy

5
Q

how do you find GPE?

A

gravitational potential energy= mass* gravitational field strength* height ( g on Earth= 10N/kg)

6
Q

kinetic energy

A

this is ‘ energy of motion’. All moving things have kinetic energy

6
Q

what happens to energy converters?

A

energy is often lost and heat and sound

8
Q

List 5 forms of potential energy and give an example

A
  1. GPE- the energy released when gravity makes a rock fall
  2. elastic potential energy- stretched spring
  3. chemical energy- foods, fuels and batteries have CE they release the energy by chemical reaction, e.g burning fuel
  4. electrical energy- wires carry EE to the lamps and other appliances
  5. nuclear energy- radioactive materials
8
Q

micerophone

A

radiated energy > electrical energy

10
Q

where does the majority of the energy on Earth come from?

A

from the sun

12
Q

radiated energy

A

light and sound are both forms of energy which radiate ( spread) from their source

13
Q

lamp

A

electrical energy > light energy

14
Q

what energy do batteries change to?

A

chemical energy > kinetic energy

15
Q

potential energy

A

this is stored energy. for example when an object has energy because it has been moved from its original place

16
Q

can energy be destroyed?

A

No, energy can only be converted from one form to another
