C. Conservation and Dissipation of Energy: Fiberglass Insulation Wool Insulation

1. The document discusses energy transfers and conservation in closed and open systems. It provides examples of energy transfers in mobile phones, buses, electric fans, insulation materials, motors, and light bulbs. 2. Questions are asked about calculating thermal energy dissipation, explaining heat dissipation from a bus and energy transfers in fans and motors, comparing insulation materials, and determining efficiencies. 3. Diagrams illustrate energy transfers and stores in phones, fans, motors lifting weights, and lifts to help calculate associated values like dissipated energy and efficiencies.

B. energy and mass are transferred in and out of the system.
C. energy cannot be transferred between different energy stores.

2. The energy transfer diagram for a mobile phone shows that 100 J of electrical energy
produces 45 J of light energy and 36 J of sound energy.
How much thermal energy will be dissipated by the phone?

3. Explain how the thermal energy produced by a bus driving along a road is dissipated.

4. a. The diagram shows the main energy transfers for an electric fan. Complete boxes A to
D showing the energy stores involved. Use the size of the arrows to help you.

7. The motor for a lift in a tall building uses 12 000 W of power. The lift and its passengers
have a mass of 500 kg.

The lift motor takes 10 s to raise the lift and its passengers through a height of 20 m.
Work out the percentage efficiency of the lift motor.

8. The low energy bulb below uses 18 000 J of energy in one hour. If the efficiency
of the low energy bulb is 78 % work out the amount of light energy given off by
the bulb in one hour.
