Core 1: Energy

This document describes several concepts related to energy transfer and conversion. It covers three cores: 1) conduction, convection and radiation as methods of heat transfer, 2) examples of energy transformations between electrical, thermal, kinetic and potential forms, and 3) a description of convection and conditions required. It also discusses an alternative practical, measuring water temperature in a can, and provides two extension examples calculating potential and kinetic energy of a falling mass.

a any three of
conduction
convection
radiation
evaporation

b(i) any suitable procedure


e.g. a lid
insulating cover or wrap

(ii) it would depend on the choice for (i) but from above either evaporation or conduction

Answer should include two of these points.

a description of convection

hot water rises

there can be no convection if it is heated at the top / only the top would be heated in this
case

smaller amounts of water can be boiled

Energy page 3
Alternative to Practical 1
a(i) to reduce or prevent conduction of heat / to insulate the can

(ii) produce a uniform temperature

(iii) assists in accurate temperature measurement


o
b(i) 18.7 or 18.8 C
o
8.9 or 9 C
o
between 9.7 and 9.9 C

(ii) assists accuracy


helps avoiding parallax
helps to be more certain when the thread reaches the scale division

c take the reading with the line of sight perpendicular to the scale mark

Energy page 4
Extension 1
a(i) the potential energy gained each time it is raised

= mgh

= 200 x 10 x 6

= 12000 J

(ii) the potential energy lost = the kinetic energy on impact


2
12000 = ½ m v
2
v = 2 x 12000 / 200

= 120

v = 10.95 or 11 m/s

b(i) as the mass moves against the resistance of the ground


kinetic energy is transferred to heat energy / sound energy

(ii) at impact the kinetic energy / momentum is large


after impact kinetic energy / momentum is soon zero
kinetic energy / momentum change is large
slows to rest in a very short time / distance
kinetic energy lost = force x distance the pile moves
OR the rate of change of momentum = force

c lifting suspension / pile deeper after each hit needs more p. e. each time

rising mass gains k.e. all lost at top

power to stop / brake the rising mass all lost as heat

efficiency of motor not 100% lost as heat

d greater mass
fall greater distance
use a motor to drive the mass down
use a thinner or pointed pile
