Presentation transcript:

Gravitational energy Any object in a gravitational field has gravitational potential energy due to its position in that field. The _____ has gravitational potential energy due to the gravitational field of the Earth. Moon The ____ has gravitational potential energy due to the gravitational field of the Sun. Earth

Changes in gravitational potential energy For an object in Earth’s gravitational field: If an object falls will it gain or lose gravitational potential energy? If an object moves up will it gain or lose gravitational potential energy?

GPE=Wh GPE=Wh Change in GPE = Weight x Change in height We can calculate the change in gravitational potential energy (GPE) for a moving object using the formula below: Change in GPE = Weight x Change in height GPE=Wh GPE measured in Joules (J) Weight measured in Newtons (N) Height measured in Metres (m)

A parachutist A parachutist of weight 600N jumps from a plane, 2000m above the ground. How much gravitational potential energy will she have lost when she reaches the ground? Change in GPE = Weight x change in height = W x h = 600N x 2 000m = 1 200 000 J

Kinetic energy This is the energy possessed by an object due to its movement. What factors will increase the amount of kinetic energy a moving object has? The velocity of the object The shape of the object The mass of the object The height of the object  x  x

Mass and speed If you increase the mass of a moving object you increase the kinetic energy. If you double the mass, you double the kinetic energy. If you increase the speed of a moving object you increase the kinetic energy. BUT… If you double the speed, you quadruple the kinetic energy. This is why even if you are slightly above the speed limit, you increase the kinetic energy of a moving car a lot, this means it is harder to stop the car and there is more chance of an accident.

KE=½m(v)² We can calculate the kinetic energy (KE) for a moving object using the formula below: Kinetic Energy = ½x mass x(velocity)2 KE=½mv2 KE measured in Joules (J) Mass measured in Kilograms (Kg) Velocity measured in Metres per second (ms-1)

Rearranging the kinetic energy formula You may be asked to rearrange the kinetic energy formula so you can calculate the mass of a moving object or the velocity of a moving object. If you do not think you can rearrange the formula in the examination, learn the rearranged formulae. Do you know what the two formula would be for mass and velocity? Mass = 2KE (v)2 Velocity = 2KE m

Kinetic energy calculation A car has a mass of 400kg and a velocity of 10 ms-1, what is the kinetic energy of the car? Kinetic energy = ½ mass(velocity)2 = ½ x 400 x(10)2 = 20 000 J
