QuestionAnswer
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

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
