| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is energy and what can it do? | Energy is the ability to do work and comes in different forms which can be transformed to perform different functions |
| What is potential energy? | Potential energy is stored energy and is the energy that an object contains |
| What are forms of potential energy? | Gravitational, elastic, chemical and nuclear |
| What is the potential energy formula? | PE=mass x gravity x height (mgh) |
| What is kinetic energy? | Kinetic energy is moving energy and is in anything moving including atoms |
| What are forms of kinetic energy? | Kinetic, light, thermal, sound and electrical |
| What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? | Energy can't be created or destroyed but transformed from one form to another. It can be transferred between objects. |
| What are the ten different forms of energy? | Potential, kinetic, gravitational, nuclear, chemical, elastic, sound, light, heat, electrical |
| What is energy transformation? Give an example as well. | When energy is transformed, it means it has changed from one form to another. For example, on a roller coaster potential energy changes to kinetic energy. This is an energy transformation. |
| What is energy transfer? Give an example as well. | Energy transfers can be transferred from one object to another without changing its from. The energy doesn't change type. Example: when your foot kicks a ball and kinetic energy is transferred from your foot to the ball. |
| A ball is held a metre from the ground. What energys are present? | Gravitational energy. Potential energy. |
| hi | hi baby |
| Draw an energy flow diagram for a kid playing in the pool | Chemical energy-->kinetic, heat sound energy |
| Draw a flow diagram to show the energy transformations that take place when the globe lights up. | Chemical energy-->Electrical energy-->Light and heat energy |
| Draw a flow diagram to show the energy transformations that happens in a phone when used | Chemical energy-->Electrical energy-->Light and sound and heat energy |
| 5. Name the unit used to measure energy. | Joules |
| Define the term of energy efficiency and define the different types of input/output energy's. | It's a measure of how much input energy is converted into useful output energy. Useful energy is the output energy that is wanted/desired. Input energy is the energy that you start with. Wasted energy is the output energy that is undesired. |
| How do you calculate the energy efficiency percentage? | Useful energy output --------------------------- X 100 Energy input |
| A toaster uses 500J to toast bread 450J from heat energy and 50J from light energy. Calculate the energy efficiency percentage. | 450/500 = 90% |
| A TV uses 500J to work. 350J from heat energy, 100J from light energy, and 50J from sound energy. Calculate the energy efficiency percentage. | 150/500=30% |
| Finish the sentence. Whenever there's kinetic energy there's also ____________. | Whenever there's kinetic energy there's also heat energy. |
| Fill in the blank. whenever there is a person or animal in a situation, there's always ________ energy present. | chemical |
| Give an example of wasted energy. | When we turn on a kettle and sound energy is produced. Self-mark answer, other answers can also be correct. |
| What are the 3 types of energy transfers to do with heat? | conduction, convection, and radiation. |
| Solar panels always use light energy from the sun. This means there are always at least 2 steps on an energy flow diagram when using solar panels. Write a flow diagram for a solar powered fan. | Light energy-->electrical energy-->kinetic, sound, heat energy |
| What is the difference between energy transfer and energy transformation? | Energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another. Energy transfer is the movement of energy from one location to another. |
| Define the term energy efficiency. | Energy efficiency is a measure of how much input energy is converted into useful output energy. Input energy is the energy you start with, useful energy is the output energy that is desired. |
| What type of energy do solar panel powered technology use | light energy from the sun |
| Draw an energy flow diagram for a solar fan (solar powered fan) | light energy-->electrical energy-->kinetic, sound, heat energy |
| What's the difference between renewable and non renewable energy? | Non-renewable energy is a source of energy that will eventually run out, but renewable energy is produced using natural resources and will never run out. |
| A cup is sitting on a table. Which of the following would increase the cup’s potential energy? | Lifting it higher. Put on note btw. |
| Flow diagram for a car driving ( no lights) | Mechanical-->kinetic--> heat and sound put on note btw. |
| Flow diagram girl swimming in pool | Chemical--> kinetic heat and sound |
