1 Energy A measure of the ability of an object to produce a change in itself or its environment

2 Types of Energy Potential: stored Kinetic: motion

3 Potential Energy Gravitational
Each diver has an amount of stored energy based on mass and height

4 Potential Energy Gravitational
The climber acquired a large amount of potential energy in the climb up from the water

5 Potential Energy: Gravitational

6 Potential Energy Elastic
Energy has been stored in the pole by bending it

7 Potential Energy

11 Potential Energy: Elastic

12 Kinetic Energy The diver is moving at a high rate of speed when he enters the water

13 Kinetic Energy 47,000 runners have a large amount of motion energy

14 Kinetic Energy

15 Forms of Energy Mechanical Thermal Chemical Electrical Electromagnetic
Nuclear

16 Energy is Energy. Forms of Energy
We group energy into different forms to help us understand different physical situations. Nature does not make these distinctions. Energy is Energy.

17 Energy Conversion Energy can change type KE → PE

18 Energy Conversion Electrical → Thermal → Electromagnetic
Energy can change form Electrical → Thermal → Electromagnetic

19 Energy is Energy! Energy Conversion
All these changes can occur because Energy is Energy!

20 Energy Transfer Energy can move from object to object

21 Energy Conservation The total amount of energy is always constant
Energy is neither created nor destroyed

22 Energy Conservation ΣW = ΔKE + ΔPE + ΔQ

23 Matter and Energy can each be transformed to the other
Matter – Energy Matter and Energy can each be transformed to the other Nuclear Reactions E = mc2
