Ashton's Energy Conversion Mind Map
Tracing energy back to the Sun
Forms of energy
Electrical
Sound
Heat
Light
Kinetic
Due to an object's motion
When an object is stationary, there is no kinetic energy
Factors affecting the amount of kinetic energy
Speed
As speed increases, the amount of kinetic energy increases
Mass
As mass increases, the amount of kinetic energy increases
Potential
Elastic potential energy
Chemical potential energy
Fuel
Wax
Batteries
Food
Gravitational potential energy
Factors affecting amount of gravitational potential energy
Mass
The greater the mass, the greater the amount of gravitational potential energy
Height
The greater the height, the greater the amount of gravitational potential energy
Position above ground
Conserving energy
How
Use energy saving appliances
Switch off electrical appliances when not in use
Limited resources
