Potential and Kinetic Energy

How is all energy divided? Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Gravitation Potential Energy Elastic Chemical

Energy is stored energy. Potential Kinetic Potential Energy is stored energy. Water behind a dam Hammer over head Food on the plate energy of motion, the form capable of doing work Flowing water A falling hammer Electrons regenerating ATP in a bio’l cell

What is Potential Energy? Energy that is stored and waiting to be used later

Types and Forms of Energy Gateway To Technology Unit 3– Lesson 3.1– Investigating Energy Potential Energy The energy in matter due to its position or the arrangement of its parts The two types of energy are kinetic and potential. Various forms of Potential energy include: Elastic – A trampoline resists being stretched out of shape Electrical – A battery operated flashlight converts electrical potential energy into light when turned on Gravitational – Like an apple falling from a tree Chemical – Energy in food is used by our bodies to move; in a lighted firecracker it is used to make a loud sound and scatter pieces of the firecracker

What is Gravitational Potential Energy? Potential energy due to an object’s position P.E. = mass x height x gravity Don’t look down, Rover! Good boy!

What is Elastic Potential Energy? Potnetial energy due to compression or expansion of an elastic object. Notice the ball compressing and expanding

What is Chemical Potential Energy? Potential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object

What is Kinetic Energy? Energy an object has due to its motion K.E. = .5(mass x speed2)

Types and Forms of Energy Gateway To Technology Unit 3– Lesson 3.1– Investigating Energy Kinetic Energy Energy of a moving object The two types of energy are kinetic and potential. Increase students’ awareness of kinetic energy by having them: -- Identify objects in motion around them -- Compare how various objects move (walk, roll, jump, etc.) -- Analyze whether stationary objects are really moving (i.e., a plant)

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!

1. Daniel designed the above house  1. Daniel designed the above house. However, when he built a model of the house, he realized that the weight of the second story made the ceiling of the first story sag. What could Daniel do to fix this problem? A. add columns to the design of the first story to hold up the weight of the second story B. add more rooms to the second story C. make the outside walls stronger D. put an elevator in the house rather than a stair case   2. Cho is using technological design to build a clock based on the apparent motion of the Sun. Which of the following would be the best measure of success for Cho's clock? A. The time shown on Cho's clock is eleven hours ahead of the actual time. B. Cho's clock is small enough to be worn as a wrist watch. C. The time according to Cho's clock is very similar to the actual time. D. Cho's clock works even at night. 3. Sandra is creating a new piece of technology. Her teacher has provided the following steps for designing new technology: 1. Identify a problem or need 2. Design a solution or a product 3. Implement the chosen design 4.
