1. Conservation of energy – energy is never destroyed, it is always changed into other types of energy. The water behind the dam has gravitational potential energy, this changes to kinetic energy as it flows down the pipe. The generators change this into electrical energy. Some will also be changed into heat and sound energy. Eg Hydroelectricity For calculations we often assume no energy is changed to heat and sound so At top At bottom mgh = ½ mv 2

2. Reminders F w = mg E = Pt E k = ½mv 2 E p = mgh E H = cmΔT E H = ml Friction changes kinetic energy into heat and sound. This results in work done. E w = Fd At top At bottom mgh = ½ mv 2 + Fd

3. Immersion heater water Electrical energy in = Heat energy out IVt = cmΔT P = IV and E = Pt This assumes that no heat energy is lost to the surroundings. To improve this experiment insulating material should be placed around it and a lid put on it. Also all of the immersion heater should be covered in water.

12. Kinetic theory explanation of the gas laws for a fixed mass of gas Increase T means higher average speed so particles hit the container walls more frequently and harder so pressure increases Constant V Decreasing V means the particles hit the walls more frequently so pressure increases Constant T Increase T means higher average speed so the volume must increase as the pressure stays constant, Constant p
