You will need to be able to recall, use and manipulate the formulae below, showing consideration for correct units to obtain correct values. You will then be required to compare calculated values and relate, where applicable, to known values. Unit 2 Energy Transfer Systems potential energy (Ep) = mass (m) acceleration (g) height (h) due to gravity kinetic energy (Ek) = mass (m) velocity2 (v2) power (P) = energy transferred (E) or work done (w ) time taken (t) cost (C) = power (P) time (t) cost per unit (u) efficiency (%) = useful energy output x 100% total energy input
