What is an example of potential energy?
Journal #66 What is energy? What is an example of potential energy? What is an example of kinetic energy?
2
Forms of Energy
3
What is energy? Ability to do work or cause change Produces Warmth
Produces Light Produces Sound Produces Movement Produces Growth Powers Technology
4
POTENTIAL KINETIC Classes of Energy
Energy of motion Stored energy or energy of position Motion, Electrical, Sound, Radiant, Thermal Gravitational, Stored Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical
5
Potential Energy Gravitational Energy – energy an object or substance has because of its position Anything “up high”
6
Potential Energy Stored Mechanical Energy – stored in an object by the application of force Must push or pull on an object
7
Nuclear Energy – energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Potential Energy Nuclear Energy – energy stored in the nucleus of an atom Holds the atom together
8
Chemical Energy – energy stored in the bonds between atoms
Potential Energy Chemical Energy – energy stored in the bonds between atoms Holds molecules together
9
Kinetic Energy Mechanical (Motion) Energy – movement of objects or substances from one place to another .
10
Electrical Energy – movement of electrons
Kinetic Energy Electrical Energy – movement of electrons NOT AN ELECTRON PARADE!
11
Kinetic Energy Sound Energy – movement of energy through substances in the form of longitudinal/compression waves
12
Kinetic Energy Radiant Energy – electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves
13
Kinetic Energy Thermal (Heat) Energy – internal energy of a substance due to the vibration of atoms and molecules making up the substance
14
Energy Transfers 1 – Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed. Law of Conservation of Energy First Law of Thermodynamics 2 – Energy will always transfer from high to low. 3 – No energy transfer is 100% efficient.
15
Name the Transfer
16
Name the Transfer
17
Name the Transfer
18
Name the Transfer
19
In Review Energy does work or causes change.
Two main classes of energy: potential and kinetic.
20
Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed.
Potential Energy – stored energy or energy of position Gravitational, Stored Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical Kinetic Energy – energy of motion Motion/Mechanical, Electrical, Sound, Radiant, Thermal/Heat Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed. Energy always transfers from high to low. Energy transfers are never 100% efficient.
