Energy - Q2Seq4
Grade 8 Q1 Seq 4 - How is energy transferred & transformed?
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Total energy | Combination of all the potential and kinetic energy in a system; stays the same in a system. |
| Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) | Equal to the product of the mass, height, and gravitational acceleration values (GPE = m x h x g) |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | States that energy is not created or destroyed. Energy is just transformed or transferred from on form of energy to another. |
| Scientific Theory | Explains why something happens. Explanation of a scientific law. |
| Scientific Law | Describes what will or does happen under certain conditions. |
| Energy Transfer | Energy moving or passing from one place to another without changing form. |
| Energy Transformation | Energy changing from one form to another (like potential turning into kinetic) |
| Energy Efficiency | The ratio of useful energy compared to the total energy that went into a transformation. |
