P6.1 Energy Revision Cards

?
What are the 5 main energy stores?
Chemical, Thermal, Kinetic, Gravitational Potential and Elastic Potential
1 of 11
What is meant by conservation of energy?
No energy is lost or gained. No energy can be created or destroyed.
2 of 11
How is power calculated?
power (w) = work done/ time
3 of 11
How is Gravitational Potential energy calculated?
GPE = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength ( n / kg) x height (m)
4 of 11
How is kinetic energy calculated?
Ek = 0.5 x mass (kg) X speed (m/s) *squared*
5 of 11
What is the unit for energy?
Joules (J)
6 of 11
What is the difference between a non-renewable and renewable energy resource?
Renewable resources will not run out whereas non-renewable resources will.
7 of 11
What makes an energy resource reliable?
The ability for an energy resource to provide constant and expected levels of energy
8 of 11
What is produced by coal, oil and gas power stations?
They generate electricity (whilst also producing CO2 emissions and lots of pollution).
9 of 11
How is efficiency calculated?
efficiency = useful power output / total power output
10 of 11
If a material has a higher thermal conductivity what does this mean?
1. It can conduct heat easily and quickly. 2. It is dense which makes it easier for the heat to conduct through it.
