Some examples of forms of energy
Kinetic energy (KE)
Nuclear energy
Energy due to a body’s motion.
Energy associated with nuclear
reactions.
Potential energy (PE)
Energy due to a body’s position
Electrical energy
Thermal energy
Energy associated with electric
charges.
Energy due to a body’s
temperature.
Chemical energy
Energy associated with chemical
reactions.
Elastic energy
Energy stored in an object when it
is stretched or compressed.
All of the above forms of energy (and others) can
ultimately be considered to be variations of kinetic or
potential energy.

Conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can
only be transformed from one form to another
form.
Conservation of energy also means that the total
energy in the universe stays constant.
Energy Flow diagrams –
Copy please
Energy flow diagrams show energy
transformations.
Work done = energy transformed
For example, when a car brakes, its kinetic energy is
transformed into heat energy in the brakes.

Consider a light bulb. Let’s say that the bulb runs on 100
watts (100 joules per second) and transfers 20 joules per
second into light and the rest into heat. Draw this as a

How much gravitational potential energy have the following objects
gained?:

(10m),
2. A 10,000N car lifted by a ramp up to a height of 50cm,
3. A 70kg person lifted up 50m by a ski lift.
How much GPE have the following objects lost?:

Energy Circus
Around the room are a few examples of
energy changes (some simple, some a little
more complicated!)
For each example I want you to write the
name of the experiment and then the energy
flow diagram for that experiment
You will have 2 minutes on each example.

Sankey Diagram
A Sankey diagram helps to show how much
light and heat energy is produced
Sankey Diagram
The thickness of each arrow is drawn to
scale to show the amount of energy
Sankey Diagram
Notice that the total amount of energy
before is equal to the total amount of energy
after (conservation of energy)
Efficiency
Although the total energy out is the same,
not all of it is useful.
Efficiency
Efficiency is defined as
Efficiency (%) = useful energy output x 100
total energy input
Efficiency
Efficiency is defined as
Efficiency (%) = useful energy output x 100
total energy input
Can you copy this (with title)
please?
Example
Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 15%
500
Energy efficient light bulb
Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 75%
100
Energy efficient light bulb
Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 75%
100
That’s much
better!
