  1. Energy TransformationsReview SPH4C – April 2010

  2. True/False • The efficiency of an energy transformation is the ratio of the input energy to the useful output energy. • Two identical elevators travel from the ground floor to the penthouse of a building. One is loaded with passengers and the other is empty. Both elevators arrive at the same time. Therefore, they are operating with the same power.

  3. True/False • Two energy transformations have efficiencies of 40% and 60%. The overall efficiency of the two energy transformations operating together is 24%. • A 1.0-MW generating station produces as much energy in one day as two 100-kW generating stations produce in five days.

  4. True/False • Diesel engines require high-efficiency spark plugs because the fuel-air mixture is less highly compressed than in a gasoline engine. • The unit of work is the joule, which is equivalent to a newton-metre.

  5. True/False • For an ideal extension spring, the force applied to the spring increases directly as the stretch increases. • The type of heat transfer that does not require any particles is called radiation.

  6. True/False • Power is a scalar quantity measured in watts. • As the time interval required to perform a given amount of work increases, the power increases. • When expressed as a percentage, an efficiency of 0.55 is 55%.

  7. True/False • Electric motors tend to have much lower efficiencies than gasoline motors. • In a four-stroke gasoline engine, the spark jumps across the gap in the compression stroke.

  8. True/False • The overall efficiency of an energy-transformation technology is generally lower than the efficiency of only one energy transformation.
