Energy exists in different forms. 3.1 Energy exists in different forms. • Energy is the ability to cause a change. • Different forms of energy produce changes in different ways. energy kinetic energy • Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed. potential energy High Speed Low Speed CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE

Energy exists in different forms. 3.1 Energy exists in different forms. • Energy is the ability to cause a change. • Different forms of energy produce changes in different ways. energy kinetic energy • Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed. potential energy • Potential energy depends on position and chemical composition. CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE

3.1 energy Energy exists in different forms. kinetic energy The ability to do work or to cause a change. For example, the energy of a moving bowling ball knocks over pins; energy from food allows animals to move and to grow; and energy from the Sun heats Earth’s surface and atmosphere, which causes air to move. potential energy CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY

3.1 kinetic energy Energy exists in different forms. The energy of motion. A moving object has the most kinetic energy at the point where it moves the fastest. potential energy CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY

3.1 potential energy Energy exists in different forms. kinetic energy Stored energy; the energy an object has due to its position, molecular arrangement, or chemical composition. potential energy CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY

Energy can change forms but is never lost. 3.2 Energy can change forms but is never lost. • Energy often needs to be transformed in order to produce a useful form of energy. law of conservation of energy • The law of conservation of energy states that energy is never created or destroyed. energy efficiency CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE

Energy can change forms but is never lost. 3.2 Energy can change forms but is never lost. • Energy often needs to be transformed in order to produce a useful form of energy. law of conservation of energy • The law of conservation of energy states that energy is never created or destroyed. energy efficiency • Energy can be transformed in many different ways, including from potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE) and back again. VISUALIZATION Investigate the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy. CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE

law of conservation of energy 3.2 Energy can change forms but is never lost. law of conservation of energy law of conservation of energy energy efficiency A law stating that no matter how energy is transferred or transformed, it continues to exist in one form or another. CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY

3.2 energy efficiency Energy can change forms but is never lost. law of conservation of energy energy efficiency energy efficiency A measurement of usable energy after an energy conversion; the ratio of usable energy to the total energy after an energy conversion.
