1 Energy: Forms and Changes

2 Nature of Energy What is energy that it can be involved in so many different activities? Energy can be defined as the ability to do work. If an object or organism does work (exerts a force over a distance to move an object) the object or organism uses energy.

3 Nature of Energy Because of the direct connection between energy and work, energy is measured in the same unit as work: joules (J). In addition to using energy to do work, objects gain energy because work is being done on them.

4 Forms of Energy Thermal / Heat Chemical Light Sound Electrical Nuclear
The seven main forms of energy are: Thermal / Heat Chemical Light Sound Electrical Nuclear Mechanical

5 What is Thermal Energy? Heat energy The heat energy of an object determines how active its atoms are. A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement. A cooler object's molecules and atoms will show less movement.

6 Thermal / Heat Energy The internal motion of the atoms is called thermal energy, because moving particles produce heat. Thermal energy can be produced by friction. Thermal energy causes changes in temperature and phase of any form of matter.

7 Chemical Energy Chemical Energy is required to bond atoms together and when bonds are broken, energy is released. Fuel and food are forms of stored chemical energy.

8 What is Chemical Energy?
Energy that is available for release from chemical reactions. The chemical bonds in a matchstick store energy that is transformed into thermal energy when the match is struck.

9 Examples of Chemical Energy

10 What is Electrical Energy?
Energy caused by the movement of electrons Easily transported through power lines and converted into other forms of energy

11 Electromagnetic (Light) Energy
Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. Each color of light (Roy G Biv) represents a different amount of electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic Energy is also carried by X-rays, radio waves, and laser light.

12 Nuclear Energy The nucleus of an atom is the source of nuclear energy.
When the nucleus splits (fission), nuclear energy is released in the form of heat energy and light energy. Nuclear energy is also released when nuclei collide at high speeds and join (fuse/fusion).

13 Nuclear Energy The sun’s energy is produced from a nuclear fusion reaction in which hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei.

14 Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the most concentrated form of energy.

15 What is Mechanical Energy?
Energy due to a object’s motion (kinetic) or position (potential). The bowling ball has mechanical energy. When the ball strikes the pins, mechanical energy is transferred to the pins!

16 Examples of Mechanical Energy

17 Sound Energy Vibrates air molecules
The air molecules move tiny bones in your ear The message of sound then moves to your brain Can also vibrate objects

18 Energy Conversion Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy conversions.

19 Energy conversions All forms of energy can be converted into other forms. The sun’s energy through solar cells can be converted directly into electricity. Green plants convert the sun’s energy (electromagnetic) into starches and sugars (chemical energy).

20 Other energy conversions
In an electric motor, electromagnetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic energy. The mechanical energy of a waterfall is converted to electrical energy in a generator.

21 Energy Conversions In an automobile engine, fuel is burned to convert chemical energy into heat energy. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.

22 Chemical  Heat Mechanical

23 States of Energy The most common energy conversion is the conversion between potential and kinetic energy. All forms of energy can be in either of two states: Potential Kinetic

24 States of Energy: Kinetic and Potential Energy
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. Potential Energy is stored energy.

25 Kinetic Energy The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. The greater the mass of a moving object, the more kinetic energy it has. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and velocity.

26 Kinetic Energy K.E. = mass x velocity 2
What has a greater affect of kinetic energy, mass or velocity? Why? 2

27 Potential Energy Potential Energy is stored energy.
Stored chemically in fuel, the nucleus of atom, and in foods. Or stored because of the work done on it: Stretching a rubber band. Winding a watch. Pulling back on a bow’s arrow. Lifting a brick high in the air.

28 Gravitational Potential Energy
Potential energy that is dependent on height is called gravitational potential energy.

29 Potential Energy Energy that is stored due to being stretched or compressed is called elastic potential energy.

30 Gravitational Potential Energy
A waterfall, a suspension bridge, and a falling snowflake all have gravitational potential energy.

31 Gravitational Potential Energy
If you stand on a 3-meter diving board, you have 3 times the G.P.E, than you had on a 1-meter diving board.

32 Gravitational Potential Energy
“The bigger they are the harder they fall” is not just a saying. It’s true. Objects with more mass have greater G.P.E. The formula to find G.P.E. is G.P.E. = Mass X Gravity X Height.

33 Kinetic-Potential Energy Conversion
Roller coasters work because of the energy that is built into the system. Initially, the cars are pulled mechanically up the tallest hill, giving them a great deal of potential energy. From that point, the conversion between potential and kinetic energy powers the cars throughout the entire ride.

34 Kinetic vs. Potential Energy
At the point of maximum potential energy, the car has minimum kinetic energy.

35 Kinetic-Potential Energy Conversions
As a basketball player throws the ball into the air, various energy conversions take place.

36 Ball speeds up Ball slows down

37 The Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed by ordinary means. It can only be converted from one form to another. If energy seems to disappear, then scientists look for it – leading to many important discoveries.

38 Law of Conservation of Energy
In 1905, Albert Einstein said that mass and energy can be converted into each other. He showed that if matter is destroyed, energy is created, and if energy is destroyed mass is created E = MC

39 Vocabulary Words energy mechanical energy heat energy chemical energy
electromagnetic energy nuclear energy kinetic energy potential energy gravitational potential energy energy conversion Law of Conservation of Energy
