Energy Tranformations
Eating food ---> Using your muscles to ride a bike
Chemical to kinetic energy
the ability to do work or cause change, make things happen
energy
energy can never be created or destroyed
the law of conservation of energy
Which formula would you use to find how fast it takes to do work?
Power
Rollercoaster on top of hill ----> rollercoaster on the loops
Potential to kinetic energy
energy associated with objects that can be compressed or stretched
elastic potential energy
the energy of electrical charges
electrical energy
mechanical energy
Potential + Kinetic
the sun ---> plants making photosynthesis
nuclear energy to electromagnetic energy
the energy stored in an atom's nucleus
nuclear energy
the potential energy stored in the bonds between atoms
chemical energy
Gravitational potential energy
weight x height
a slingshot being pulled back ---> shooting the rock out of the slingshot
elastic potential energy to kinetic energy
a circuit that has more than one path
parallel circuit
energy that travels in the form of waves
electromagnetic energy
Power
energy transferred / time
the sun ---> plants doing photo synthesis ---> human eating corn ---> maintaining body temperature
nuclear to electromagnetic to chemical energy to thermal
the total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object
thermal energy
a change from one form of energy to another form
energy transformation
Kinetic Energy
KE = 1/2 mass x Velocity ^2
