- Energy stores and systems (P1.1)
- Energy Facts
- Energy is never created or destroyed. Instead it's transferred.
- Energy is transferred mechanically.
- Energy is transferred electrically
- Energy is transferred by heating.
- Energy is transferred by radiation.
- Systems
- A closed system is a system where neither matter or energy can enter or leave.
- A system is one or more objects that you're interested in.
- Energy examples
- When someone throws a ball upwards, it causes the chemical energy store from the persons arm to transfer to kinetic energy to the ball.
- This eventually turns into gravitational potential energy when it falls back down.
- When a car slows down, the kinetic energy from the wheels transfers to the thermal energy of the surroundings.
- When boiling water in a kettle, electrical energy from the source is transferred into thermal energy to heat the water.
- When someone throws a ball upwards, it causes the chemical energy store from the persons arm to transfer to kinetic energy to the ball.
