What is gravitational potential energy?
mgh
1 of 10
What is elastic potential energy and how can you increase it?
1/2ke^2. Increase EPE by increasing the extension of the spring ,e, in metres or by increasing the spring constant ,k, in N/M
2 of 10
What is Kinetic energy and how can it increase?
1/2mv^2. Increasing the mass of the object or by increasing the speed
3 of 10
What is work done and its formula?
Wd= fxs. Work done is a force which can be increased by enlarging the force or if it moves further.
4 of 10
Power definition?
P= W/T or P=E/T
5 of 10
What is specific heat capacity?
The measure of how energy is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degrees
6 of 10
What is change in thermal energy?
Change in thermal energy= mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
7 of 10
What is energy efficiency?
Energy efficiency= useful output energy transfer/total input energy transfer
8 of 10
What are renewable energy resources? Examples
Solar, wind and hydroelectric. Also thermal energy from hot rocks
9 of 10
What are non renewable resources? Examples
Fossil fuels
