1. Forms of Energy and Energy Transformation Notes

2. Forms of Energy 1. All energy falls into two categories:
Potential: stored energy and energy of position
Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.

3. 2. What Forms of Energy Are There?
POTENTIAL
KINETIC
Chemical Energy
Nuclear Energy
Gravitational Energy
Radiant Energy
Electrical Energy
Mechanical
Sound
Thermal Energy

4. How will we ever remember these?!
Just remember the sentence: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.

5. Cam= Chemical Newton= Nuclear Got= Gravitational Really= Radiant Excited= Electrical Making= Mechanical Stinky= Sound Tacos= Thermal

6. 1. Cam=Chemical Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
Example: Matches, chemicals Digestion, batteries

7. 2. Newton= Nuclear
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together.
Example: Breaking down Uranium

8. 3. Got= Gravitational
Energy of place or position. Higher=more gravitational energy.
Example: two plants at different heights

9. 4. Really= Radiant
Example: Visible Light
Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves like light.

10. 5. Excited= Electrical
Movement of electrons.
Example: lamp, computer

11. 6. Making= Mechanical
The movement of a substance from one place to another. Motion.
Example: Riding a bike, wind

12. 7. Stinky = Sound Movement of energy through substances in waves.
Example: bell

13. 8. Tacos= Thermal
The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat.
Example: heat from a stove

24. Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Energy can only be transformed (change forms).
Energy Transformation
When energy changes from one form to another
Example:
Digestion – chemical  mechanical  thermal
Flashlight – chemical  electrical  radiant
Playing the guitar – mechanical  sound
