Energy Conversion (Paden)
Converting energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Measured in Joule (J)
Can be converted into one form or another
Conserving energy
Due to limited sources
Oil
Natural gases
Coal
How
Using energy saving appliances
Switch off electrical appliances when not in use
Fuel stations need to burn fuel to produce electricity
Tracing energy back to the sun
Energy in our food/ web all trace back to the sun
Forms of energy
Electrical
Heat
Sound
Light
Kinetic
Due to an objects motion
When it is at rest, there is no kinetic energy
Factors affecting KE
Mass
The greater the mass, the greater the amount of KE
Speed
Greater the speed, the greater amount of KE
Potential energy
Gravitational potential
Factors affecting the amount of GPE
Mass
Greater the mass, the greater amount of GPE
Height
Greater the height, the greater amount of GPE
Due to its position above the ground
Elastic potential
Chemical potential
Wax
Batteries
Fuel
Food
