In the box write the 2 efficiency equations.
Heating and temperature are not the same thing. When something is heated, thermal energy is being transferred to it. Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
Using energy resources
List all of the non-renewable energy recourses used to generate electricity.

List all of the renewable energy recourses used to generate electricity.
Most of the energy resources available to us store energy that has originally come from __________________. These include fossil fuels (____, ____ and ____), bio-fuel, wind, wave, hydroelectric and solar energy. Other resources include geothermal energy (from hot,_______________), tidal energy and nuclear energy.
MAKING LINKS
The idea that energy can be transferred usefully, stored or dissipated without changing the total amount of energy is a key concept in Science. You will use this idea in many contexts, and not just in Physics.

Potential energy
Work done and energy transfer
When a spring is stretched it stores __energy____. We call this ______potential energy____.
When a string is stretched it stores _____elastic potential____ energy.
When a box is lifted above the ground it gains ____gravitational potential____ energy (GPE).
What two things does GPE depend on?
____Mass, m, in kilograms.____
_____Height the box raises, h, in metres, m._____
In Science, _work_ is only done by a force when an object _moves_.
Work done can be calculated using the equation:
W=Fs
W is _Work in _ joules _J_
F is _Force in _ newtons _N_
s is _distance in _ metres _m_
Example:
A gymnast weighs 400N. How much work does she do when she jumps from the ground onto a beam 1.5 m above the ground?
_W=Fs W=400x W= 600J_
Rearrange the equation to make force the subject.
_F = W/s_
Understanding power
Kinetic energy
_Power_ is the rate of doing work or _energy_ transfer.
Write the 2 equations for power.
_P = W/t or P = E/t_
A machine does 1000J of work in 8 seconds. What power does it develop?
_P = W/t = 1000/8 = 125W_
An electric kettle is rated at 2kW. How much energy is transferred in 30s?
_E=Pt = 2000 x 30 = 60000J_
Energy must be transferred to make things move. This is called ___kinetic___ energy.
What is the equation for kinetic energy? ____1/2 mv2____
Use the kinetic energy equation to answer the following question:
Sue is riding her bicycle at 2m/s. she has a mass of 50kg.
Calculate her kinetic energy.
_1/2 mv2 = 0.5 x 50 x 2 x 2 = 100J_
