Ability to do work or cause change
Energy Ability to do work or cause change SI Unit : Joule
2
- occurs when a force causes an object to move
Work – measure of energy that is transferred from one system to another. - occurs when a force causes an object to move

Pg. 115 Interactive
4
TME = total mechanical energy
5
Sum of the potential and kinetic energy ME = PE + KE
B. Mechanical Energy Sum of the potential and kinetic energy ME = PE + KE
6
Energy has 2 main types 1) Kinetic Energy 2) Potential Energy
7
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
KE = 1/2 mv2 E = energy (Joules) m = mass (kilograms) v = speed (meters/sec.) Marion Jones Sprints t o Victory in the 200 meter.
8
Kinetic Energy equation
KE = ½ mass x velocity2 KE = ½ mv2 Units: kg(m/s)2 or Joule (J)
9
The kinetic energy of an object depends on its speed and mass.
9
11
Kinetic and Potential Energy have many forms
12
Mechanical/Motion Energy -
Energy associated with motion
13
Examples of Mechanical/Motion Energy
Person running Car moving Football being thrown
14
2. Thermal Energy (Heat) -
Total energy of the particles in an object
15
Examples: Fire, oven, hot glue gun
16
Energy of moving electrons
3. Electrical energy - Energy of moving electrons
17
Example : electric outlet
19
4. Radiant or Electromagnetic (Light) energy
Energy that travels in transverse waves
20
Examples: lightbulb, microwave
21
Travels in longitudinal waves, caused by vibrations
5. Sound energy- Travels in longitudinal waves, caused by vibrations
22
Example : guitar, boombox
23
Energy that is stored and held in readiness
Potential Energy- Energy that is stored and held in readiness
24
Potential Energy PE = mgh
Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. PE = mgh h = height g = 9.82 m/s2 * m = mass
25
Examples of Potential Energy
26
Potential Energy: Stored energy
4 types Gravational Elastic Chemical Nuclear
27
A. Gravational P.E. Potential energy due to height
Ex. Book on table, airplane Equation: GPE = mass x gravity(9.8) x height
28
Example of Gravitational PE
29
b. Elastic Potential Energy energy stored in a stretched or compressed object
Ex. Rubberband, spring
30
Elastic Potential Energy
Rank the amount of elastic potential energy of the trampoline from greatest to least. 30
31
Energy stored in chemical bonds
C. Chemical energy - Energy stored in chemical bonds
34
Examples: wood, food, gasoline, batteries
35
energy by splitting an atom
D. Nuclear energy - energy by splitting an atom
37
Example : nuclear power , sun, nuclear bomb
38
Can you find an example of each form of energy in the picture below?
38
39
C. Energy Transformations – Conversions
A change from one form of energy to another
40
Energy Transformations and Conservation
Multiple Transformations A series of energy transformations must occur for you to ride your bike. What are the forms of energy involved in each transformation? 40
41
D. Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can’t be created or destroyed, it can only be converted.
42
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed from one form to another. A waterfall has both kinetic and potential energy. The water at the top of the waterfall has stored potential energy. Once the water leaves the top of the fall, the PE is changed into KE.
43
PSSA Style Question: Using a microscope, a student observes a small, green organelle in a plant cell. Which energy transformation most likely occurs first within the observed organelle? A. ATP to light B. light to chemical C. heat to electrical D. chemical to chemical
45
Lamp : electrical energy converts to light energy
Conversion example 1 Lamp : electrical energy converts to light energy
46
Water heater : Chemical energy of gas to thermal (heat ) energy
Conversion example 2: Water heater : Chemical energy of gas to thermal (heat ) energy
47
Human body : converts chemical energy in food to motion energy
Conversion example 3: Human body : converts chemical energy in food to motion energy
52
Energy Transformations and Conservation
Pendulum A continuous transformation between potential and kinetic energy occurs in a pendulum. What are the types of energy the pendulum has at positions A, B, and C? 52
53
Energy is Conserved
55
How does PP&L make electricty for Susquehanna Twp.?
Burn coal – make steam – turn turbine – turn generator – make electricity
57
Energy is conserved
58
Energy is Conserved
59
Conversion of Energy When you pick the ball up you give it potential energy. How high you lift the ball and how much the ball weighs determines how much potential energy it has. When you release the ball, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The ball continues to have kinetic energy for as long as it stays in motion.
60
Energy Transformations and Conservation
Conserving Energy While You Ride Transformations between potential and kinetic energy occur during a roller coaster ride. How much potential and kinetic energy does the coaster have at each point? 60
