Elastic Potential Energy is the energy...

• stored in a spring when it is compressed

• attraction between positive and negative charges

• energy in the bonds of chemicals

• due to doing work against gravity

A better thermal conductor means that energy is dissipated as heat more

Which of the following are the correct definitions of power?

• The energy transferred to an object

• The work done

• Rate of energy transfer

• Energy transferred per second

How does double-glazing work?

• Double glazing traps heat, reducing warm air from leaving

• Double glazing blocks cold air from entering

• Double glazing prevents air flow

• Double glazing heats up the room

What energy store is used in hydroelectric dams?
