16291511901 | Energy Stores | - Kinetic - Thermal - Chemical - Gravitational Potential - Elastic Potential - Electrostatic - Magnetic - Nuclear | 0 | |
16291511902 | Energy Transfers | - Mechanically (force acting on it) - Electrically (A charge moving through a p.d.) - By Heating - By Radiation (light/sound waves) | 1 | |
16291511903 | Principle of Conservation of Energy | Energy can never be created or destroyed | 2 | |
16291511904 | Law of Conservation of energy | Total energy input = useful energy output + wasted energy | 3 | |
16291511905 | Efficiency of Energy formula | - Efficiency = (useful energy output / total energy input) x 100% | 4 | |
16291511906 | Thermal energy transfer | - Radiation (infrared) - Conduction (solids) - Convection (liquids and gasses) | 5 | |
16291511907 | Thermal radiation | - Infrared Radiation | 6 | |
16291511908 | Conduction | - Vibrating particles transfer kinetic energy to neighbouring particles | 7 | |
16291511909 | Convection | - Liquid and Gases only - All about change in density | 8 | |
16291511911 | Slow thermal transfer | - reduce Conduction - stop Convection Insulation traps pockets of air - reduce Radiation = Poor emitter (shiny and white) | 9 | |
16291511912 | Work | energy transferred due to a force | 10 | |
16291511913 | Work Done formula | - Work Done = Force x Distance moved (in direction of force) - W = F x d | 11 | |
16291511914 | Power defintion | - The rate at which energy is tranferred - 1 W = 1 J of energy per second | 12 | |
16291511915 | Power formula | - Power = Work done / Time taken - P = E / t | 13 | |
16291511916 | Kinetic Energy formula | - Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x mass x ( speed ) ² - KE = 1/2 x m x v² | 14 | |
16291511917 | Gravitational Potential formula | - Gravitational Potential Energy = mass x gravitational field strength x height - GPE = m x g x h | 15 | |
16291511918 | GPE of an object | is ALL transferred to Kinetic Energy (if no air resistance) | 16 |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
