Energy stores | thermal kinetic gravitational potential elastic potential chemical magnetic electrostatic nuclear |
How can energy be transferred in a system | into or away from the system through different objects in the system between different types of energy stores. |
Work done | work done is just another way of saying energy transferred |
Kinetic energy equation | Kinetic energy = mass x speed KE = 0.5 x mv2 |
What does the energy in a kinetic energy store depend on | The objects mass and speed |
A car of mass 2500kg is travelling at 20m/s. Calculate the energy in its kinetic energy store. | Ek= 0.5 x 2500 x 20 ² = 500,000 J |
Raised objects store energy in... | Gravitational potential energy stores |
The amount of energy in a g.p.e store depends on what? | The objects mass, height and strength |
Gravitational potential energy equation | g.p.e = mass x height x gravitational field strength Ep= mgh |
Elastic potential energy equation | elastic potential energy = 1/2 x spring constant x extension squared |
Power equation 1 | Power = energy transferred / time |
power equation 2 | Power = work done / time |
