Mechanical
The type of energy an object would have at the top of a hill.
Gravitational potential energy
Three ways that heat can be transferred.
A measure of how many electrons are moving in a circuit.
Current
The resistance of a bulb is 2.5 ohms and the voltage across the bulb is 6 volts. What is the current flowing through the bulb?
2.4 Amps
Calculate the heat energy absorbed by 150g of liquid water to raise its temperature by 20॰C. (c(H2O(l)) = 4200 Jkg-1॰C-1)
12,600J
The energy change occurring as a rock rolls down a hill.
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What is conduction?
Transfer of heat energy between particles in a solid.
Name the two main types of circuits.
Series and parallel
An electric heater is rated at 700W. If the heater is connected to a 240V power supply, calculate the current that must flow through the heater.
2.92 A
Calculate the work that must be done to lift a 3 kg object up 8m.
240J
The definition for work.
What is convection?
The transfer of energy between particles in a liquid or gas.
What happens to the current in a parallel circuit?
The current is split between the different pathways in a parallel circuit.
How much gravitational potential energy does a 3 kg rock have at the top of a 55m cliff?
1650J
A bucket filled with 1.5kg of water at 42॰C is placed in the freezer until it reaches 0॰C. Calculate how much energy has been removed from the water? Specific heat capacity of water is 4200 Jkg-1॰C-1
264,600J
The definition of power.
How quickly energy can be transformed or transferred.
What is radiation?
The transfer of energy via waves of electromagnetic radiation.
What happens to the voltage in a series circuit?
The voltage is shared between the components in a series circuit.
How much kinetic energy does a 2000kg car have when it is travelling at 12.3 m/s?
151,290J
A car with a mass of 1150 kg accelerates from rest to reach a speed of 24 ms-1. If the car took 11 seconds to accelerate to 24 ms-1, what was the power output of the engine?
30,109 W
Why does Ek not usually equal Ep in the real world?
Because of friction which causes some of the energy to be transformed into other forms such are heat, sound etc.
What is latent heat?
The energy (thermal) required to turn a solid to a liquid.
An electric heater is rated at 700W. How much energy is required to run the heater for 5 hours?
12,600,000J
