P2.2 energy

Cards (26)

  • efficiency
    usfulltotal\frac{usfull}{total}* 100
  • sanky diagrams show
    energy transfers
  • renewable
    source wont run out in a lifetime
  • non-renewable
    source could run out in a lifetime
  • work done is
    force * distance in line with force
  • Nm=N*M
    work done =force * distance in line with force
  • work done and energy transfer are the same thing
  • greater velocity=greater kenetic energy
  • greater mass=greater kenetic energy
  • kinetic energy= 12\frac{1}{2}*mass *velocity2velocity^2
  • more mass= more GPE
  • More gravity =More GPE
  • GPE= mass * height * gravity
  • velocity=velocity= 2KEm\ \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}
  • efficiency=efficiency=usfull energytotal energy100\frac{usfull\ energy}{total\ energy}\cdot100
  • efficiency is always a percentage
  • power=power=energy time\frac{energy\ }{time}
  • power=power= work done time\ \frac{work\ done\ }{time}
  • power is
    the amount of energy transferred every second
  • coal positive and negative
    infrastructure already in place
    1000s of years worth
    air pollution from greenhouse
    not renewable
  • Oil positive and negative
    • stored easily
    • used a lot
    • burning oil=fossil fuels
    • non renewable
  • Solar positive and negative
    • renewable
    • inexhaustible
    • lots of maintenance
    • weather dependent
    • expensive
  • Wind positive and negative
    • doesn't pollute air
    • low operating cost once up
    • weather dependant
    • requires large areas of impact
  • Geothermic positive and negative
    • eco-friendly
    • sustainable, renewable
    • location dependant
    • can trigger earthquakes
  • Hydroelectric positive and negative
    • provide flood control
    • doesn't produce waste
    • used for irrigation
    • expensive to set up
    • river may dry up
  • Nuclear positive and negative
    • high power density
    • small land footprint
    • radioactive waste
    • high environmental impact
