Question Answer
What is the Equation for Change in Gravitational Potential Energy ΔGPE = mgΔh Where Δ is "change in"
What is the Equation for Kinetic Energy KE = 0.5mv²
Y'know what Sankey Diagrams are? no? well too bad nerdn't ye? good.
State the Law of the Conservation of Energy "Energy may not be created nor destroyed, however thou shall allow thee energy to be transferred between types"
State the energy transfers of an object moving up a slope (Chemical) -> (Electrical) -> Kinetic -> GPE
State the energy transfers of an object hitting an obstacle Kinetic -> Sound, Thermal
State the energy transfers of an object being accelerated by a constant force Chemical -> (Electrical) -> Kinetic
State the energy transfers of a vehicle slowing down Kinetic -> Thermal, Sound
State the energy transfers in an electric kettle boiling because we're fookin' british m8. Chemical -> Electric -> Thermal, Sound -> (Kinetic)
Why does the total energy in a system stay the same? Energy is transferred between the different parts of the system, but overall it stays the same as no energy is going in or out of the system.
Energy is dissipated into the ________ surroundings
What can stop energy being used in less useful ways? Lubrication Insulation
What is the Equation for Efficiency? Efficiency = useful energy ----------------- total energy
How can efficiency be increased? Reducing energy dissipation so there's another flashcard for the rest heheheheh seriously it's basically the same question
ALRIGHT SO RENEWABLE ENERGY IS STUPID...LY ANNOYING TO LEARN SO USE A REVISION GUIDE OK GOODNGIHT krujmhgkfdkgunfnhjdfhjghnmjmfbnjeyhbyjvgvxcjyngvyjfgnyudndujdhhhellotherejgkldhkjgnjsdfchjgnhvhdvjgfnjhvsnjmhgdjcmjhgvhgoodbyeherejfkdjgkjhdjsfghjunsdfnhgjnsdnhfgj
