  • energy transfer
  • system as an object or a group of objects
  • the work done on a system is equal to energy transferred into the system plus energy transferred out of the system
  • describe how energy changes involved in a energy transfer
  • work done = force x distance moved by object doing work
  • power = rate at which energy is transferred
  • power = work done / time taken
  • rate of change of energy stored in a system = power
  • average power = total energy transferred / time taken
  • energy transfer diagrams
  • energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred
  • efficiency = (useful output) / (input)
  • the efficiency of an engine can be calculated using the equation e = useful output / input x 100%
  • power is measured in watts, where one joule per second equals one watt
  • one way thta we can reduce energy transfer by using thermal conductivity is by using insulation as it traps the heat
  • Efficiency
    A measure of how much useful output is produced relative to the input consumed. Calculated as the ratio of useful output to input (efficiency = useful output / input).
  • renewable energy
  • non renewable energy
  • solar power can generate electricity by using the sun
  • wind power
  • fossil fuels
  • coal is a non renewable resource
  • snakey diagrams used to show energy transfer of useful and wasted output
  • energy we put into something must be the same amount coming out
  • energy efficiency = useful output / total input x 100%
  • efficiency being able to do a task without wasting energy or time
  • work done = force * distance moved
  • energy can be transfered by surrounding objects
  • lubrication used to reduce wasted energy
  • hydro power uses water falling from dams to turn turbines which generate electricity
  • dissipitation loss of energy when something cools down
  • geothermal power is using hot rocks deep underground to create steam that drives turbines
  • density is the substance mas per unit or volume.it tells us how tightly matter is packed together
  • density =mass*volume
  • mass =density
  • solid is a strong force of attraction between particles in a fixed regular arrangement
  • liquid particles have more kinetic energy thansolid particles
  • when a liquid changes to a solid its density decreases
  • displacement can used to measure the volume of a irregular object
  • to measure the volume of a irregular object you fill the displacement can with water the slowly add the object to the water he water then get a measuring cylinder to catch the water
