1 Energy: Forms and Changes

2 Forms of Energy Mechanical Electrical Light Thermal Sound
There are more than 5 types of Energy. The five main forms of energy are: Mechanical Electrical Light Thermal Sound

4 Nature of Energy Energy is all around you!
You can hear, see and feel Energy

5 Nature of Energy You use energy when you: hit a softball.
lift your book bag. compress a spring.

6 Living organisms need energy for growth and movement.
Nature of Energy Living organisms need energy for growth and movement.

7 Nature of Energy Energy is involved when: a bird flies.
a bomb explodes. rain falls from the sky. electricity flows in a wire.

8 Nature of Energy Energy can be defined as the ability to do work.
Work - (exerts of force over a distance to move an object)

9 Nature of Energy Energy and Work are both measured in: joules (J).
objects gain energy because work is being done on them.

10 Heat Energy The internal motion of atoms is called heat energy, because moving particles produce heat. Heat energy can be produced by friction. Heat energy causes changes in temperature and phase of any form of matter.

11 Chemical Energy Chemical Energy is required to bond atoms together.
And when bonds are broken, energy is released. Ex. Fuel and food are forms of stored chemical energy.

12 Electromagnetic Energy
Energy that doesn’t require a medium. Power lines carry electromagnetic energy into your home in the form of electricity.

13 Bell Ringer (Read ) Potential energy is stored in an object, either in the object’s position, in its condition. Another term for potential energy is elastic energy. To an observer, an object that is not moving appears to have no energy because it is doing nothing. However, the object has “potential” energy. It can move, fall, be thrown, and so forth. For examples, a ball at rest on the top of a hill has the potential energy to roll down that hall. Potential energy is stored in objects whose shape can be changed, like a rubber band or a spring. Changing the object’s shape is work. Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object; it is the energy of motion. Mechanical energy of an object is the toal of its energy of position (Potential energy) and its energy of motion (Kinetic energy). Potential energy + Kinetic energy= mechanical energy

14 Bell Ringer Questions What are the two states or forms of energy? What is the difference between the two? What is potential energy? Give an example of potential energy. What two forms of energy make up an object’s mechanical energy. What is an example of (a) potential energy and (b) kinetic energy?.

15 Electromagnetic Energy
Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. Each color of light (Roy G Bv) represents a different amount of electromagnetic energy. 7 Waves of the EM spectrum

16 Nuclear Energy The nucleus of an atom is the source of nuclear energy.

17 Nuclear Energy When the nucleus splits or fuse (fission), nuclear energy is released in the form of heat energy and light energy.

18 Nuclear Energy The sun’s energy is produced from a nuclear fusion reaction in which hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei.

19 Mechanical Energy When work is done to an object, it acquires energy.
The energy an object acquires to do work mechanical energy.

20 Mechanical Energy When you kick a football, you give mechancal energy to the football to make it move.

21 Energy Conversion Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy conversions.

22 Energy conversions Energy can’t be created, or destroyed only transferred. All forms of energy can be converted into other forms. When Energy is Converted its know as Transferred Energy The sun’s energy through solar cells can be converted directly into electricity. Green plants convert the sun’s energy (electromagnetic) into starches and sugars (chemical energy).

23 Other energy conversions
In an electric motor, electromagnetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic energy. The mechanical energy of a waterfall is converted to electrical energy in a generator.

24 The Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed by ordinary means. It can only be converted from one form to another. If energy seems to disappear, then scientists look for it – leading to many important discoveries.

25 Law of Conservation of Energy
In 1905, Albert Einstein said that mass and energy can be converted into each other. He showed that if matter is destroyed, energy is created, and if energy is destroyed mass is created E = MC

26 Energy Conversions In an automobile engine, fuel is burned to convert chemical energy into heat energy. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.

27 Chemical → Heat →Mechanical

28 States of Energy The most common energy conversion is the conversion between potential and kinetic energy. All forms of energy can be in either of two states: Potential Kinetic

29 States of Energy: Kinetic and Potential Energy
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. Potential Energy is stored energy.

30 Kinetic Energy The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. The greater the mass of a moving object, the more kinetic energy it has. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and velocity.

31 Kinetic Energy K.E. = mass x velocity 2
What has a greater affect of kinetic energy, mass or velocity? Why? 2

32 Potential Energy Potential Energy is stored energy.
Stored chemically in fuel, the nucleus of atom, and in foods. Or stored because of the work done on it: Stretching a rubber band. Winding a watch. Pulling back on a bow’s arrow. Lifting a brick high in the air.

33 BELL RINGER Complete the Potential and Kinetic Energy side of your reading article from yesterday .

34 Gravitational Potential Energy
Potential energy that is dependent on height is called gravitational potential energy.

35 Potential Energy Energy that is stored due to being stretched or compressed is called elastic potential energy.

36 Gravitational Potential Energy
A waterfall, a suspension bridge, and a falling snowflake all have gravitational potential energy.

37 Gravitational Potential Energy
If you stand on a 3-meter diving board, you have 3 times the G.P.E, than you had on a 1-meter diving board.

38 Gravitational Potential Energy
“The bigger they are the harder they fall” is not just a saying. It’s true. Objects with more mass have greater G.P.E. The formula to find G.P.E. is G.P.E. = Weight X Height.

39 Kinetic-Potential Energy Conversion
Roller coasters work because of the energy that is built into the system. Initially, the cars are pulled mechanically up the tallest hill, giving them a great deal of potential energy. From that point, the conversion between potential and kinetic energy powers the cars throughout the entire ride.

40 Kinetic vs. Potential Energy
At the point of maximum potential energy, the car has minimum kinetic energy.

41 Ball speeds up Ball slows down

42 Kinetic-Potential Energy Conversions
As a basketball player throws the ball into the air, various energy conversions take place.

43 Vocabulary Words Energy Mechanical energy Heat energy Chemical energy
Electromagnetic energy Nuclear energy Kinetic energy Potential energy Gravitational potential energy Energy conversion Law of Conservation of Energy
