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