ACSPH036

More energy is released per nucleon in nuclear fusion than in nuclear fission because a greater percentage of the mass is transformed into energy

ACSPH042

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed by a circuit component; power enables quantitative analysis of energy transformations in the circuit

ACSPH134

The concept of mass-energy equivalence emerged from the special theory of relativity and explains the source of the energy produced in nuclear reactions

Elaboration (3) ACSSU155

recognising that heat energy is often produced as a by-product of energy transfer, such as brakes on a car and light globes

Elaboration (1) ACSSU190

recognising that in energy transfer and transformation, a variety of processes can occur, so that the usable energy is reduced and the system is not 100% efficient

Green chemistry principles include the design of chemical synthesis processes that use renewable raw materials, limit the use of potentially harmful solvents and minimise the amount of unwanted products

ACSBL044

Cells require inputs of suitable forms of energy, including light energy or chemical energy in complex molecules, and matter, including gases, simple nutrients, ions, and removal of wastes, to survive

ACSES056

Energy is stored, transferred and transformed in the carbon cycle; biological elements, including living and dead organisms, store energy over relatively short timescales, and geological elements (for example, hydrocarbons, coal and kerogens) store energy …

ACSPH037

Electrical circuits enable electrical energy to be transferred efficiently over large distances and transformed into a range of other useful forms of energy including thermal and kinetic energy, and light.

ACMEM031

use units of energy to describe consumption of electricity, such as kilowatt hours

ACSPH018

All systems have thermal energy due to the motion of particles in the system

ACSPH030

Alpha, beta and gamma radiation have sufficient energy to ionise atoms

ACSPH066

Collisions may be elastic and inelastic; kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collisions

ACSPH067

Waves are periodic oscillations that transfer energy from one point to another

ACSCH037

Endothermic and exothermic reactions can be explained in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy and the breaking and reforming of bonds; heat energy released or absorbed can be represented in thermochemical equations

ACSPH023

A system with thermal energy has the capacity to do mechanical work (that is, to apply a force over a distance); when work is done, the internal energy of the system changes

Elaboration (6) ACSHE100

investigating how electrical energy is generated in Australia and around the world

Elaboration (3) ACSSU153

considering the role of forces and energy in the formation of different types of rocks and minerals

Elaboration (4) ACSSU155

using flow diagrams to illustrate changes between different forms of energy

Elaboration (5) ACSHE136

considering how engineers improve energy efficiency of a range of processes
