Document Summary
Fragile systems 4: list 5 types of energy and describe what causes them to vary, work: w=fd. Work is the force applied over a distance. The magnitude of the force and the distance it moves can cause the work to vary: potential energy: pe = mgh. Energy required to move an object against gravity. Mass and height causes potential to vary: kinetic energy: ke = 0. 5mv2. Varies because mass and velocity can be altered: sensible heat: the heat that can be felt by a thermometer; particle motion, latent heat: hidden heat energy. Water ice + heat (released: explain how the force of gravity affects motion and energy. Gravity is a constant force that affects motion be always attracting objects to each other. It affects energy by altering how the energy is used (potential energy: always accelerated towards the earth, not anywhere else: explain (with examples) how energy conservation applies to natural disasters.
