Energy is measured in:
- Joules
- Watts
- Degrees Celsius
- Kilograms
Thermal is a physics word associated with:
- Convection
- Insulation
- Heat
- Units on a gas bill
Which one of these best describes the Law of Conservation of Energy?
- It's a Law that says that large energy users such as schools and factories must save energy.
- Energy can be created but not destroyed.
- Energy cannot be created but can be destroyed.
- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
Which one is true about the energy given by a motor?
- The energy got out is more than the energy put in.
- The energy got out is less than the energy put in.
- The energy got out is equal to the energy put in.
- Energy is neither put in nor got out.
Whenever a machine does a job of work, some energy goes into doing the work. The rest:
- goes back to the source.
- is destroyed.
- is wasted to heat up the surroundings.
- is wasted to cool down the surroundings.
The units for efficiency are usually:
- Percent (%)
- Joules (J)
- Degrees Celsius
- Kilograms (kg)
The formula for efficiency is:
- Efficiency = (energy in ÷ energy out) × 100 %
- Efficiency = (energy out - energy in) × 100 %
- Efficiency = (energy out × energy in) × 100 %
- Efficiency = (energy out ÷ energy in) × 100 %
The most like efficiency for a steam engine is:
- 0.1 %
- 10 %
- 100 %
- 1000 %
A petrol engine is 33 % efficient. This means that for every 2000 J of petrol burned:
- 6.6 J of energy is turned into movement energy.
- 66 J of energy is turned into movement energy.
- 660 J of energy is turned into movement energy.
- 66000 J of energy is turned into movement energy.
A petrol engine is 33 % efficient. This means that for every 2000 J of petrol burned:
- 64 000 J is wasted as heat
- 2000 J is wasted as heat
- 1934 J is wasted as heat
- 1340 J is wasted as heat.
