What do you need to know?
What are the different forms of energy and how are they defined. (See image on the left.) |
What do you need to know?
You will be given examples and asked to identify the type of energy transfer that occurred. Example: What energy transformation occurs to make a toaster function? Electrical energy is transformed into thermal & light energy. Electrical --> Thermal, Light |
What do you need to know?
Mechanical Energy = The total potential and kinetic energy of an object. Kinetic Energy = The energy due to the motion of an object. Potential Energy = The energy due to the position of an object. |
What do you need to know?
Understand the difference between conduction, convection, & radiation. Understand that thermal energy always move from objects of hotter temperature to objects of cooler temperature. |
