Energy
Principle of energy conservation
"Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transferred from one place to another or changed from one form to another"
intro
measured in joules/kilojoules
1KJ= 1000J
energy allows work to be done
energy is always conserved
Transducers
energy changers
change one type of energy into another
*converts energy* total energy going in equals total energy going out
Efficiency
energy used compared to energy wasted
Useful energy output/ total energy input *100
higher efficiency = less wastage
energy efficient lightbulb
Sankey diagram (energy transfer diagram)

Types of energy
heat/thermal energy
type of energy that will flow from warm area to colder area
temperature is how hot or cold an object is
kinetic energy
type of energy that makes objects move
light energy
sound energy
chemical energy
energy store
electrical energy
gravitational potential
potential energy associated with gravitational force
elastic potential
energy stored in stretched objects
nuclear energy
splitting of uranium atoms
energy sources
oil
burning oil
gas
burning gas
wind
conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy
solar
uses sun energy to produce electricity
waves
Waves are generated by the wind as it blows across the sea surface. Energy is transferred from the wind to the waves.
nuclear
from uranium atoms
biomass/biofuel
fuel derived from plant material
geothermal
thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth
tidal
form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power
hydroelectric
energy is power made by moving water
