Dog: chemical potential -> kinetic energy.

waste product = heat and sound

Toy Car:

Elastic potential enerygy -> kinetic.

Waste energy = sound, heat Torch:

Chemical potential energy -> heat and light

waste product = sound catupult:

Elastic potential -> kinetic

wase product = heat, sound

Scientific Facts I need to remember


.  In a velocity time graph, the features of the graph that represent the distance travelled between the two stations is the area under the graph.

. When are car  is accelerating the force pushing it forward is larger.

. A factor that increases the braking distance is if the car is very heavy not how heavy the car is.

. The amplitude of a wave is from the equilibrium up, not from the trough to the peak.

. Make sure when drawing the ray of reflection that it is equal to the ray of incidence.

. When an angle is coming in at the critical angle, it is reflected at the surface.
