P1- Energy transfer by heating, Equations, Stores - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The Earth emits low energy IR (long waves) rays to cool itself down
        
        Some of the emitted IR is absorbed by greenhouse gases and traps the IR causing the Earth's temperature to rise, known as the greenhouse effect
- - - - Energy can't be created or destroyed, only converted from one store to another
      - Work
        
        when you exert a force on an object and it moves a distance
        
        One J of work is the amount of energy required to move an object 1m with a 1N force
        
        Whenever an object does work against a force, some of its energy gets dissipated to the surroundings as heat
        
        when the energy an object has is converted into a less useful form, the energy is said to have been dissipated to the surroundings
      - Efficiency
        
        Some input energy is always wasted when it is making something work (dissipation)
        
        The more input energy an appliance turns into useful energy, the higher its efficiency
      - Power
        
        how much energy something transfers per second
        
        1 Joule/second is 1 Watt
  - - - They knock into their neighbouring particles and give them some of their energy
        
        This causes them to vibrate more and this continues through the length of the conductor
  - - - Air is a poor conductor, as particles are far apart
        
        Can't transfer heat by convection, as it is unable to move
