Give four ways we can reduce the heat loss from buildings
Aluminium foil behind radiators, cavity wall insulation, double glazing & loft insulation
1 of 21
Give the 6 different forms of energy
Chemical, Kinetic, Gravitational Potential, Elastic, Electrical and Thermal
2 of 21
What is chemical energy?
Energy stored in fuel, released when a chemical reaction takes place
3 of 21
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of a moving object
4 of 21
What is gravitational potential energy?
Energy of an object due to its position
5 of 21
What is elastic energy?
The energy stored in a springy object when we stretch/squash it
6 of 21
What is electrical energy?
Energy transferred by an electric current
7 of 21
What is thermal energy?
An objects energy due to its temperature.
8 of 21
What does it mean when energy is transformed?
When energy turns from one form into another
9 of 21
What happens, in terms of energy, when a roller coaster climbs upwards and races downwards?
Gaings gravitational potential energy when it climbs, Loses gravitational potential energy when it races downwards,
10 of 21
Give the 4 changes in energy that occurs when a roller coaster decends?
Gravitational potential energy, Kinetic energy, Sound energy, Thermal energy
11 of 21
What is the conservation of energy?
A rule that says energy cannot be created or destroyed
12 of 21
What is useful energy?
Energy transferred to where its wanted in the form it is wanted.
13 of 21
What is wasted energy?
Energy that is not usefully transferred or transformed
14 of 21
Where does useful and wasted energy both end up being transferred to?
The surroundings, which become warmer
15 of 21
Why is it bad when energy spreads out?
It gets more and more difficult to use for further energy transfers.
16 of 21
In terms of energy, what happens when you lift an object
The useful energy from your muscles goes to the object as Gravitational Potential energy
17 of 21
What is weight measured in?
Newtons, N
18 of 21
What is energy measured in?
Joules, J
19 of 21
Equation for working out the efficiency of an object
Efficiency= useful energy transferred by the device / total energy supplied by the device
20 of 21
What does wasted energy cause
Inefficiency
