Energy comes in many forms: mechanical, electrical , magnetic, solar,
the ability (capacity) to do work Energy comes in many forms: mechanical, electrical , magnetic, solar, thermal, chemical, etc... The SI unit of energy is the Joule. Energy, like work, is a scalar.
2
KE = 1/2 mv2 Kinetic Energy energy of motion
All moving objects that have mass have kinetic energy. KE = 1/2 mv2 m - mass of the object in kg v - speed of the object in m/s KE - the kinetic energy in J
3
Work-Energy Theorem the net work done on an object is
equal to its change in kinetic energy
4
an object to change its KE because
A net force causes an object to change its KE because a net force causes an object to accelerate, and acceleration means a change in velocity, and if velocity changes, KE changes.
5
PEg = mgh Potential Energy energy of position or condition
gravitational potential energy PEg = mgh m - mass of object in kg g - acceleration of gravity in m/s2 h - height of object, in m, from some arbitrary reference point PE – gravitational potential energy in J
6
Law of Conservation of Energy
“Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It may only change forms.” S all types of energy before the event = S all types of energy after the event Examples: A dropped object loses gravitational PE as it gains KE. A block slides across the floor and comes to a stop. A compressed spring shoots a ball into the air.
