  • PowerWork done/Time taken
  • work = force × distance moved
  • W = F d =ΔE
  • moment = force × perpendicular distance from pivot
  • KE = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2
  • GPE=mass×gravitational field strength×height
  • force in a spring= spring constant × extension   
  • Efficiency = useful energy input/total energy input x 100%
  • Nuclear fusion is the process inside the sun that generates energy. It involves fusing small nuclei together to make larger nuclei.
  • Nuclear fission happens inside nuclear power plants. This involves the splitting of a large nucleus into two smaller ones.
  • Energy resources that do not rely on the sun: tidal power, nuclear power and geothermal power. 
  • Transferable Energy
    thermal energy
    electric
    mechanical
  • Nuclear fission is when 2 fast hydrogen nuclei collide and fuse to form a helium nucleus
    (requires high temp and pressure)
  • Power is the work done per unit time
