How can energy be transferred?
Heating, by waves, by an electric current, or by a force when it moves the object
1 of 16
What happens (in terms of energy) when an object falls
as it gains speed its store of gravitational energy decreases and it's kinetic energy increases
2 of 16
Law of conservation of energy
energy cannot be created or destroyed just transferred from one store to another
3 of 16
energy transferred=
work done
4 of 16
work done =
force applied x distance moved along the line of action of the force
5 of 16
when does GPE increase and why
when an object moves up as work is done on it to overcome the gravitational force
6 of 16
change of gravitational potential store=
mass x GFS x change of height
7 of 16
change in objects gravitational energy store=
weight x change of height
8 of 16
what does the kinetic energy store of a moving object depend on=
its mass and speed
9 of 16
kinetic energy =
0.5 x mass x speed(squared)
10 of 16
Elastic potential energy=
0.5 x spring constant x extension(squared)
11 of 16
What is useful energy
energy in the place we want it and in the form we need it
12 of 16
the efficiency of a device=
useful energy transferred by the device/total energy supplied to the device x100
13 of 16
power=
energy transferred by the appliance/time taken for energy to be transferred
14 of 16
efficiency=
useful power out/total power in x100
15 of 16
power wasted=
total power in-useful power out
