3
There are 2 forms of energy… Kinetic Energy Potential Energy
4
We already know that Kinetic Energy is the energy Of motion. But what if something is Not moving? Potential energy is stored Energy.
5
One kind of potential energy is Energy due to its position On earth. This is gravitational Potential energy. PE = mgh
6
If Cal lifts a 2 kg textbook from The floor to a shelf 2.1 m above The floor. What is the book’s Potential energy relative to the Floor? What is the potential energy Relative to his head if he is 1.65 m tall? 41.2 J8.82J
7
Elastic potential energy is the Potential energy of a Stretched or compressed spring. The spring constant (k) is a Parameter that expresses how Resistant a spring is to being Compressed or stretched. PE elastic = ½ kx 2
8
The staples inside a stapler are Kept in place with a spring with a Relaxed length of 0.115m. If the Spring constant is 51 N/m, how Much PE is stored when the Spring is stretched to 0.150m? 0.031 J
9
Mechanical Energy is the sum Of kinetic energy and all forms Of potential energy. ME = KE + ΣPE
10
Einstein recognized yet another Form of potential energy: Mass Itself! He said that mass, by its very Nature, is just one manifestation Of Energy. E = mc 2
11
The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot Be created or destroyed, only Transferred. ME i = ME f
12
The law of conservation of Matter states that matter Cannot be created not destroyed. As far as you are allowed to know.
13
A large chunk of ice with a mass Of 15 kg falls from a roof 8 m Above the ground. Find the Kinetic Energy of the ice when It reaches the ground. What is The speed of the ice when it Reaches the ground? 1180 J12.5 m/s
14
An elastic collision is a Collision in which the total Momentum and the total kinetic Energy remain constant. m 1 v 1i + m 2 v 2i = m 1 v 1f + m 2 v 2f ½m 1 v 1i 2 + ½m 2 v 2i 2 = ½m 1 v 1f 2 + ½m 2 v 2f 2
15
A perfectly inelastic collision is a Collision in which two objects Stick together and move with A common velocity after Colliding. In an elastic collision, the kinetic Energy is slightly decreased. Usually it is converted to Thermal and sound energy.
