What is Energy

1
Energy
By Wimbledon High School
2
Nuclear Power

• 17
• ¼
• 75

3
How it works

• Works basically the same as other power stations
• Fuelled by nuclear fission

4
Nuclear fission

• Nucleus contains lots of energy
• Nuclear reactors harness the energy
• Uranium atom is hit
• Nucleus splits
• Releases lots of energy
• And if it gets out of control

5
It goes BOOM!
6
Advantages of Nuclear Power

• Same as coal
• Cheap
• Gas - free
• Ozone - friendly
• Lots of energy
• Reliable.

7
Disadvantages of Nuclear Energy

• It is incredibly dangerous
• It is radio active
• It is expensive
• If it does go wrong
• Remember our previous slide?

8
Einstein

• 1879 Born

• 1895 failed a diploma

• 1900, graduated

• Worked in a patent office

• Earned a doctorate

• 1908 Lecturer at the University of Bern

• 1909 Professor of Physics at the University of
  Zurich

Einstein Continued

• 1909 Leading scientific thinker

• 1912 Bent light

• 1915 Theory of Relativity

• 1921 Nobel Prize

• 1925 Medal from Royal Society

• 1926 Medal from the Royal Astronomical Society

• 1955 Died

Einsteins Theory
E mc²

• Energy and matter are interchangeable
• Amount of energy in universe constant
• Matter dormant state/storage of energy

11
Einsteins Other Theories

• Electromagnetic radiation of light
• Speed of light constant
• Mass and energy are equivalent
• Theory of relativity

• Contributions to quantum theories
• Bent light

Thank you for listening
We didnt think it was that boring
