Name the four ways in which energy can be transferred.

a system where no energy can be transferred to or from the surroundings - the total energy in the system stays the same 

energy transferred when a force moves an object

the work done when a force of 1 N causes an object to move 1 m in the direction of the force 

energy is transferred mechanically from the kinetic store of the car to the thermal store of its brakes. Some energy is dissipate to the thermal store of the surroundings 

Describe the energy transfer when a moving car slows down.

the electric current in a kettle transfers energy to the heating element's thermal store - energy is then transferred by hearing from the heating element's thermal store to the thermal store of the water

Describe the energy transfer when an electric kettle is used to hear water.

energy is transferred mechanically from the elastic store of the elastic band to the kinetic store of the band - some energy is dissipated to the thermal store of the surroundings 

Describe the energy transfer when a ball is fired using an elastic band.

energy is transferred from the kinetic store of the apple and dissipated o the thermal store of the surroundings by sound waves

Describe the energy transfer when a falling apple hits the ground.

Name the unit that represents one joule transferred per second.
