3 Draw energy transfer diagrams for:
a) winding up a clockwork car
b) letting a clockwork car run
c) letting a battery-powered car
run.

The outline of the energy transfer are;

a) Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

Please find attached the drawings of the energy transfer created with MS Visio

Explanation:

The energy transfer diagrams are diagrams that can be used to indicate the part of a system where energy is stored and the form and location to which the energy is transferred

a) The energy transfer diagram for the winding up a clockwork car is given as follows;

Mechanical kinetic energy is used to wind up (turn) the clockwork car such that the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy and stored in the wound up clockwork as follows;

Kinetic energy → Clockwork spring → Potential energy

b) Letting a wound up clockwork car run results in the conversion of mechanical potential energy into kinetic (energy due tom motion) energy as follows;

Potential energy in clockwork car → Clockwork spring coil unwound → Clockwork car run

c) The energy stored in the battery of a battery powered car is chemical potential energy. When the battery powered car runs, the chemical potential energy produces an electromotive force which is converted into kinetic energy as electric current flows from the batteries

Therefore, we have;

Chemical potential energy → Batteries in the car → Electric motors → Kinetic energy

a lot of it means it can be "burned" for energy and sold at one price. if it is scarce, the price will go up

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
