Original Prompt

Create a homework with questions on the following topics: Conservation of Energy using GPE and KE. Efficiency. Power. Sankey diagrams. Make sure that there is no calculations for elastic potential energy. There can be calculations for GPE, KE, Efficiency, Power (change in energy / change in time but also current times voltage).

This learning resource focuses on the conservation of energy, efficiency, power calculations, and the interpretation of Sankey diagrams. Students will explore key formulas such as Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE = mgh), Kinetic Energy (KE = 1/2mv²), and the formulas for calculating power and efficiency. Through a series of problems, they will calculate energy changes in different scenarios, such as a falling object, a roller coaster, and an electric motor. The document also encourages students to interpret and create Sankey diagrams to visualize energy flows and efficiency in systems, reinforcing their understanding of energy conservation and transformations in practical contexts.
