Ryder's energy conversion - Coggle Diagram
Ryder's energy conversion
converting energy
measured in joules(J)
can be converted from one form to another
energy cannot be created or destroyed
tracing energy back to the sun
forms of energy
sound
kinetic
factors affecting the amount of ke
mass
greater the mass the greater the amount of ke
speed
greater the speed the greater the amount of ke
due to an object's motion
when at rest,there is no kinetic energy
electrical
potential energy
elastic potential
chemical potential
wax
batteries
fuel
food
gravitational potential
factors affecting the amount of ke
mass
the greater the mass the greater the amount of GPE
height
greater the height the greater the amount of GPE
due to its position above ground
heat
light
energy in our food chain/web all traces back to the sun
energy is used for life processes and movement
conserving energy
how
use energy saving appliances
switch off electrical appliance when not in use
fuel power stations need to burn fuel to produce electricity
due to limited rescources
oil
natural gas
coal
