energy of objects in motion that r larger than atoms + molecules
\-kinetic
\-ex. me

New cards
radient energy def
\-aka what
\-K or P
\-ex.
energy of electromagnetic waves that travel/radiate from energy source
\-we can see..?
\-kinetic
\-ex. lightbulb
18
New cards
thermal energy
\-K or P + why
\-more ____ = _____ particles = ____ thermal energy
\-ex.
energy of motion of atoms/molecules in substance
\-kinetic molecule theory
→ particles inside are moving around
\-more hot = faster particles = more thermal energy
\-ex. hot water
19
New cards
sound energy
\-K or P
\-ex. drum
energy of vibrations or disturbances of particles that make up matter → travels as pressure wave → wave pass through substance, particles collide away from source
\-we can hear
\-kinetic , string move, wave move
\-ex. drum
20
New cards
electrical (k) energy
\-ex.
energy of movement/flow of electrons (which carry a charge) moving along wire or conductor
\-ex. outlet to lightbulb
21
New cards
gravitational energy
\-K or P
\-ex.
energy stored due to object’s mass and height
\-potential
\-ex. smth on top of large hill
22
New cards
chemical energy
\-K or P
\-ex.
energy stored in bonds between atoms in compound
\-potential
\-ex. food, fossil fuels, firefly
23
New cards
elastic energy
\-K or P
\-ex.
energy stored in objects that r stretched, squeezed, bent, or twisted
\-potential
\-ex. tennis racket, soles of shoes
24
New cards
electrical (p) energy
\-ex.
energy separating positive and negative charge
\-ex. in battery or cell
25
New cards
magnetic energy
\-K or P
\-ex.
energy of attraction or repulsion of certain metals based on orientation
\-potential
\-ex. you hold needle of compass down = has magnetic potential
26
New cards
nuclear energy
\-K or P
\-ex.
energy stored in nucleus of atom
\-potential
\-ex. nucleus split/join into 2 and releasing energy
27
New cards
is thermal energy and heat the same thing
no
heat is thermal energy that is TRANSFERRED from item to item
28
New cards
why is nothing (transformation/transfer) 100% efficient
\-ex.
\-what makes more efficient = _____ surface
friction/collision makes lost energy
\-ex. roller coaster has lots of curves = friction = lost thermal + sound energy = less kinetic
\-smooth surface
29
New cards
open system
\-ex.
\-matter can escape through gas/liquid/solid = which loses mass
\-energy can escape too
\-ex. open hot mug (steam-mass + temp-thermal energy)
30
New cards
closed system
\-ex.
\-matter cant leave (physically covered)
\-energy can escape
\-ex. mug w/lid (steam cant leave, thermal energy can)
31
New cards
isolated system
\-ex.
\-matter cant leave
\-energy can’t escape (has barrier from surrounding)
\-ex. insulated thermos (steam cant leave, thermal energy trapped)
32
New cards
what contributes to PE + KE
mass (in kg)
33
New cards
when is..
\-max potential energy
\-no potential energy
\-max kinetic energy
\-no kinetic energy
\-bit of both
(stapes notes booklet
\-peak/highest point → still
\-just before hits ground cuz all kinetic
\-just before hits ground
\-peak/highest point cuz all potential
\-middle of falling → loses potential gains kinetic
→ sun radient energy and is trapped in earth’s atmosphere to warm earth BUT we burn more (excess) = more heat trapped = warmer earth/increase temperature
= warmer ocean = ocean acidification/dead marine life = we cant eat fishies!!
= melt glaciers = higher sea level = flood
= heat waves
56
New cards
pick 2 renewable energy sources
\-describe
\-2 pro + cons
SOLAR
\-comes from the sun → can capture its radient energy by solar panels to be turned into electricity
\-pros: reduce electricity bill + accessible since everywhere gets sunlight
\-con: expensive upfront cost + weather dependent (since it won’t during the night/wont be as effective on cloudy days)
\ HYDROELECTRIC
\-from KE of flow of water + PE of height of water, the motion of water spins turbine in generator (which makes electricity)
\-pros: safe since fuelled by water (does not release any greenhouse gases/no oil spills) + long lasting (50-100 years)
