1. Energy
Forms and Conversion

2. ENERGY the ability to do work

3. WORK is done when you use a force to cause motion

4. WORK a force is moved through a distance

5. “CLUES” – Types of Energy
Kinetic Energy
Gravitational Potential Energy
Elastic Potential Energy
Chemical Energy
Thermal Energy
Electrical Energy
Nuclear Energy
Radiant Energy

6. Kinetic Energy
Energy of motion
Examples:
KE = ½*M*V2

7. Gravitational Potential Energy
Stored energy that depends on an object’s height
Examples:
GPE = M*g*H

8. Thermal Energy
Energy of heat
Examples:

9. Chemical Potential Energy
Stored energy in chemical bonds in compounds
When released, energy can do work
Examples:

10. Elastic Potential Energy
Stored energy of a compressed or stretched object
Examples:

11. Electrical Energy
Energy associated with electrical charges
Examples:

12. Nuclear Energy
Energy stored within nucleus of an atom
Examples:

13. Radiant Energy Energy that travels through space in waves
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Examples:

14. Sound Form of kinetic energy – movement of energy through
substances in the form of waves
