Name all of the forms of energy?
Magnetic, Kinetic, Heat, light, gravitational potential, chemical, sound, electrical, elastic potential, nucleur
1 of 14
What is the desription of gravitational potential energy?
Energy stored by raised objects-The higher the object, the higher is gravitational potential energy
2 of 14
What is the description of chemical energy?
Stored energy in fuel, food and batteries
3 of 14
What is the description of sound energy
Energy released by vibrating objects
4 of 14
What is the description of electrical energy?
Energy in moving charges or static electric charges,
5 of 14
What is the energy transfer diagram for a car engine?
Chemical energy in the fuel->Kinetic energy + Heat energy +Sound energy
6 of 14
What is the energy transfer diagram for a light bulb?
Electrical energy-> Light + Heat energy
7 of 14
What is the law for energy?
It cannot be created or destroyed
8 of 14
What is the efficiency of a device?
The proportion of the energy supplues that is transferred in useful ways
9 of 14
What two things does the amount of electrical energy transfered depend on?
-The appliances power -The length of time it is switched on,
10 of 14
What does this equation mean? E=P x t
Energy transferred = power x time
11 of 14
