The Nature of Energy

Energy The ability to cause change or the ability to do work Unit for Energy – Joule (J)

Energy Two main types of energy:  Kinetic  Potential Other types of energy include …  Thermal  Light  Sound  Electrical  Chemical  Nuclear

Kinetic energy Energy in the form of motion Kinetic energy = ½ x mass x velocity 2 KE = ½mv 2

Potential Energy Energy stored in a motionless object, giving it the potential to cause change

3 Types of Potential Energy Elastic Potential Energy – Energy stored by things that stretch or compress (springs, elastic, rubberbands)

Chemical Potential Energy - energy stored in chemical bonds between atoms (Snickers bar, food, even gasoline)

Gravitational Potential Energy – energy stored by things that are above Earth (book sitting on shelf, person standing on a cliff, rollercoaster perched at the top of a hill)

Gravitational Potential Energy PE = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height PE = mgh

Law of Conservation of Energy Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only change form. ME i = ME f or… KE i + PE i = KE f + PE f

Law of Conservation of Energy (example) Fuels store energy in the form of chemical potential energy. This energy is transformed into heat energy, which is then transformed into kinetic energy.

Ex: 1…gasoline put into your car (chem. Pot. Energy)…it is heated/combusted and a chemical reaction occurs so that the energy stored in the bonds can be released in the form of heat. Then, the heat energy is used to move parts like pistons, etc (kinetic energy) …which eventually moves your car!

Ex: 2…Candy bar has chemical potential energy…you eat it…your body digests it, meaning it breaks down the food – even breaking the bonds and releasing energy. Your body uses the energy to move (kinetic energy)!

Example Problem 1 A 50 kg boy and his 100 kg father went jogging. Both ran at a rate of 5 m/s. Who had more kinetic energy? Show your work and explain.

Example Problem - answer KE = ½mv 2 Boy… KE = ½(50 kg)(5 m/s) 2 KE = 625 J Dad… KE = ½(100 kg)(5 m/s) 2 KE = 1250 J Dad had more Kinetic energy because his mass was greater.

Example Problem 2 What is the potential energy of a 10 N book that is placed on a shelf that is 2.5 meters high?

Example Problem 2 - answer GPE = mgh GPE = (10 N) (2.5m) GPE = 25 J Remember that weight = mg and that the force provided is weight. NOTE: you may want to change your variable for weight to F g.
