W ARM U P Complete the Renewable Energy Pie Chart: Round to the nearest whole number Petroleum36% Natural Gas27.34% Coal18.27% Uranium8.46% Biomass4.54% Hydropower2.83% Geothermal, Solar, Wind2% Propane1%
3
M ECHANICAL E NERGY Energy possessed by an object due to its motion or position ME= Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy ME= PE + KE
4
K INETIC E NERGY Energy in Motion Calculating Kinetic Energy You must know the mass and velocity KE= mass x velocity² or KE= ½mass x velocity² 2
5
P OTENTIAL E NERGY Potential Energy Stored Energy or the energy an object has due to its position or shape
6
G RAVITATIONAL P OTENTIAL E NERGY Gravitational Energy Potential energy caused by gravity Calculating Potential Energy/Gravitational PE GPE= mass x gravitational acceleration x height GPE= mgh gravitational acceleration= 9.8 m/s² g= 9.8 m/s²

L ETS P RACTICE **Unit for Energy is Joule= J An 80kg man is jogging at a rate of 4m/s. What is his kinetic Energy KE= ½ x mass x velocity² KE= ½ x 80kg x (4m/s)² KE= ½ x 80 x 16 KE= 40 x 16 KE= 640 J
8
L ETS P RACTICE What is the gravitational potential energy of a 2kg object that is 30m above the surface of the earth? What are you solving for? GPE = mgh GPE= 2 x 9.8 x 30 GPE = 588J
9
L ETS P RACTICE What is the mass of a baseball that has kinetic energy of 100 J and is traveling at 5 m/s? KE= ½ (mass)(velocity²) m= 2 x KE v² m= 2 x 100 5 m = 8 kg
