ENERGY CONVERSION
Converting energy
Energy cannot be
Destroyed
Created
Measured in
Joule (J)
Can be converted
From 1 energy form to another
Conserving energy
Due to limited resources
Oil
Coal
Natural gas
How
Use energy saving appliances
Switch off electrical appliance when not in use
Fuel power stations need to burn fuel to produce electricity
Tracing energy back to the sun
Forms of energy
Light
Heat
Electrical
Sound
Kinetic (K.E)
Due to an object's motion
When it is at rest, there is no kinetic energy
Factors affecting the amount of K.E
Mass
The greater the mass
the greater the amount of K.E
Speed
The greater the speed
the greater the amount of K.E
Potential energy (P.E)
Gravitational potential energy (G.P.E)
Factors affecting G.P.E
Mass
The greater the mass
the greater the amount of G.P.E
Height
The greater the height
the greater the amount G.P.E
Elastic potential energy (E.P.E)
Chemical potential energy (C.P.E)
Fuel
Wax
Batteries
Food
Energy in our food chain/web all traces back to the sun
Energy is used for life processes & movement
