What is energy?
Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed.
1 of 15
What are the 7 key types of energy?
Gravitational potential, elastic potential, magnetic, thermal, electrostatic, chemical and kinetic
2 of 15
What are energy and power measured in?
Energy - Joules (J), Power - Watts(W)
3 of 15
Four types of energy transfer?
Mechanical, electrical, heating, radiation
4 of 15
What is mechanical work?
The force of moving an object
5 of 15
What is electrical work?
Charges moving due to a potential difference
6 of 15
What is heating?
Energy transfer due to a temperature difference
7 of 15
What is radiation?
Energy transfer due to waves.
8 of 15
Work done (Joules) =
Force (Newtons) x Distance moved (metres)
9 of 15
Kinetic Energy formula
(mass x velocity squared) divided by 2
10 of 15
GPE formula
mass x height x gravitational field strength
11 of 15
Elastic potential energy formula
(spring constant x extension squared) divided by 2
