Question Answer
Define Energy energy is the ability to do work
Define Energy transformation energy changing from one form to another Example: Electricity to light on a lamp
State and explain the law of conservation of energy Energy cant be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another
List several types of energy Light, sound, heat, electrical, chemical, potential, kinetic, nuclear, spring
light Comes from fast moving charges. eg. electrical to light
Sound Particles that vibrate back and forth
Heat Can come from a fire or sun etc
Electrical Can be changed to light heat and sound
Chemical Food contains chemical energy which is broken down and converted to kinetic energy as we move.
Potential The energy of any object that is raised or has a chance that it will move in some way
Kinetic Any moving object has kinetic energy. The faster it goes the more kinetic energy it has.
Nuclear Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom from fission or fusion
Spring A spring stores energy in till it is realized
Identify objects that create different forms of energy eg. the sun makes light and heat A heater makes heat and light a bell makes sound
Identify energy transformations in a simple electrical circuit. eg. electricity to heat
Explain the differences of heat and temp Temperature is in oC and heat is measured in heat Joules
Whats the different between heated particles and cold particles Cold partials move really slow and heated partials move very fast
Define the term conductor, and identify examples. lets the energy flow from one thing to another eg copper
Define the term insulator, and identify examples. Is an object that dosen't let energy flow through it eg plastic
Identify whether solids, liquids or gases conduct heat well. solids conduct heat best Liquids poorly conduct Gases are very bad conductors
Explain changes of phase in relation to the Particle Theory of Matter. the partial theory is where a peace of ice is getting heated and the partials start vibrating faster and faster in till it terns into a liquid and if you keep on heating it boils and terns into a gas
Explain why the temperature of a substance does not increase as it is boiling, melting or subliming Heat energy is used as the particles jump out of the liquid. You can keep on heating boiling water but it cant get any hotter.
Define the terms conduction, convection and radiation. Explain the properties of each, and identify examples Conduction is where heat travails through a solid. Convection is where heat travels through a liquid and Radiation is where it travels through a gas
Describe how heat can be controlled using conductors and insulators. Insulation in roof to keep heat in Conductor is the element on the stove to collect the heat
