1
Energy: Forms and Changes
Chapter 16
2
Energy: is the ability to do work is measured in joules (J)
3
Objects can gain energy when work is done on them
4
There are five different forms of energy
Mechanical Heat Chemical Electromagnetic Nuclear
5
Mechanical Energy of motion
6
Heat Internal motion of atoms
The greater the motion, the more heat the object contains
7
Heat Energy
8
Chemical Energy found in the bonds of atoms
Released when those bonds are broken
9
Chemical Energy
10
Moving electrical charge
Electromagnetic Moving electrical charge
11
Electromagnetic Energy
12
Nucleus in atom break apart (fission)
Nuclear or nuclei join (fusion)
13
Nuclear Energy
14
Energy can be classified as either kinetic or potential
kinetic is the energy of movement potential is the energy of position or shape
15
Energy of position or shape
Energy is stored for later use
16
If potential energy depends upon height (gravity), then formula is: GPE = weight X height (weight = mass X gravity constant) If a 10 N rock is sitting on a wall 10 meters high, what is its potential energy?
17
Kinetic Energy (KE) = mass X velocity2
Which affects KE the most – mass or velocity?
18
Kinetic or Potential Energy
19
Energy Conversions Like matter, energy is neither created nor destroyed by ordinary means; however, it can be changed from one form to another. All forms of energy can be converted to other forms.
20
Potential to Kinetic Conversions
21
At this position, is there kinetic and/or potential energy?
22
How many different ways can the sun’s energy be converted?
How many different conversions of energy occur when one uses a hairdryer at home.
23
Energy Conversion
24
Part of Einstein’s theory of relativity deals with the concept that mass and energy are directly related. Einstein 1905
25
He stated that mass and energy can be converted into each other
He stated that mass and energy can be converted into each other. If matter is destroyed, it becomes energy and energy can become mass. This is the theory of how the sun creates so much energy – some mass is destroyed causing much energy to be created.
26
E = mc2
27
How does energy relate to:
speed? more energy, more speed momentum? energy is transferred force? energy needed to change motion power? rate of energy consumed work? energy is conserved (input vs output)
