Potential and Kinetic Energy
3
How is all energy divided? Potential Energy Kinetic Energy All Energy Gravitation Potential Energy Elastic Potential Energy Chemical Potential Energy
4
Potential Kinetic energy of position or energy in storage. Water behind a dam Water behind a dam Hammer over head Hammer over head Food on the plate Food on the plate energy of motion, the form capable of doing work Flowing water A falling hammer Electrons regenerating ATP in a biological cell
5
What is Potential Energy? oEnergy that is stored and waiting to be used later
6
Potential Energy The energy in matter due to its position or the arrangement of its parts
7
What is Gravitational Potential Energy? oPotential energy due to an object’s position oThe higher an object the greater the gravitational potential energy oP.E. = mass x height x gravity height x gravity Don’t look down, Rover! Good boy!
8
What is Elastic Potential Energy? oPotential energy due compression or expansion of an elastic object. Notice the ball compressing and expanding
9
What is Chemical Potential Energy? oPotential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object
10
What is Kinetic Energy? oEnergy an object has due to its motion oK.E. =.5(mass x speed 2 )
11
Kinetic Energy Energy of a moving object
12
What is Mechanical Energy? o Energy due to a object’s motion (kinetic) or position (potential). The bowling ball has mechanical energy. When the ball strikes the pins, mechanical energy is transferred to the pins!
