SOL 6.2 a & e
2
ENERGY is… the ability to do WORK or cause change WORK is… when a FORCE moves an object a FORCE is… a push or a pull
3
STATES OF ENERGY POTENTIAL ENERGY STORED energy that is NOT being used…YET KINETIC ENERGY Energy in MOTION-- Energy that IS being used Roller coaster (potential) Roller coaster (kinetic) Spring pressed down Spring released Water behind dam Water released & falling Rocket on launch pad Rocket blasting off
4
An object will have MORE POTENTIAL ENERGY IF…. ~ It is HIGHER UP off of the ground ~ It has MORE MASS (heavier) At which point on this track would a roller coaster have the MOST POTENTIAL ENERGY? __ Which ball has the MOST POTENTIAL ENERGY? A)The less heavy ball B)The very heavy ball
5
An object will have MORE KINETIC ENERGY IF…. ~ It is MOVING AT A FASTER SPEED. ~ It has MORE MASS (heavier) Which vehicle below has MORE KINETIC ENERGY? (A) 75 mph(B) 50 mph Which vehicle below has MORE KINETIC ENERGY? (B) 75 mph(A) 75 mph
6
DIFFERENT FORMS OF ENERGY Both potential & kinetic energy come in many forms. Use each of the next six slides to complete your notes. Write the COMPLETE DEFINITION & DRAW EACH OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS for each form of energy.
7
CHEMICAL ENERGY Energy in chemical bonds of food, fuel, coal, batteries, etc. battery gasoline/oil food 1. wood coal
8
ELECTRICAL ENERGY Moving electrical charges (electrons) Power lines Power outlet Lightning 2. Wires and plugs
9
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY (also called radiant energy) Light energy that travels in WAVES sunlight Light from a flame 3. lightbulb light
10
MECHANICAL ENERGY Energy of moving parts Pencil sharpener Mouse trap Bicycle 4.
11
NUCLEAR ENERGY Stored in the nucleus of an atom & released when atoms are split or joined together Nuclear power plant Energy inside atoms 5.
12
THERMAL (HEAT) ENERGY Energy of the moving particles (atoms/molecules) IN an object battery Cold stuff too! Warm stuff 6.
13
ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS **Also called Energy Conversions Definition: When energy CHANGES from one form to another DRAW & LABEL the ENERGY TRANSFORMATIONS on the next 4 slides
14
DRAW & LABEL the ENERGY CONVERSIONS taking place with a FLASHLIGHT. Batteries Light & Heat Wires CHEMICAL ENERGY ELECTROMAGNETIC & THERMAL ENERGY ELECTRICAL ENERGY Switch (button) MECHANICAL ENERGY
15
Heat & Light CHEMICAL ENERGY MECHANICAL ENERGY Outlet, plug, & cord DRAW & LABEL the ENERGY CONVERSIONS taking place with a TOASTER. Button/Lever ELECTRICAL ENERGY THERMAL & ELECTORMAGNETIC ENERGY Toasted Bread
16
DRAW & LABEL the ENERGY CONVERSIONS taking place in PHOTOSYNTHESIS Plant changes sunlight & water into sugar (food) for plant! CHEMICAL ENERGY LIGHT WAVES ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
17
DRAW & LABEL the ENERGY CONVERSIONS taking place in A CAR MECHANICAL ENERGY GASOLINE CHEMICAL ENERGY CAR MOVES!
