4 The energy something possesses due to its motion, depending on mass and velocity. Potential energy Energy in Energy out kinetic energy

5 Energy Kinetic Energy – energy of motion KE = ½ m v 2 Potential Energy – stored energy Batteries (chemical potential energy) Spring in a watch (mechanical potential energy) Water trapped above a dam (gravitational potential energy) massvelocity (speed) B A C

6 School Bus or Bullet? Which has more kinetic energy; a slow moving school bus or a fast moving bullet? Recall: KE = ½ m v 2 KE = ½ m v 2 BUSBULLET KE (bus) = ½ (10,000 lbs) (0.5 mph) 2 KE (bullet) = ½ (0.002 lbs) (240 mph) 2 Either may have more KE, it depends on the mass of the bus and the velocity of the bullet. Which is a more important factor: mass or velocity? Why?(Velocity) 2

7 Kinetic Energy and Reaction Rate Kinetic energy Fractions of particles lower temperature higher temperature minimum energy for reaction

8 Kinetic Energy and Reaction Rate Kinetic energy Fractions of particles lower temperature higher temperature minimum energy for reaction

9 Hot vs. Cold Tea Kinetic energy Many molecules have an intermediate kinetic energy Few molecules have a very high kinetic energy Low temperature (iced tea) High temperature (hot tea) Percent of molecules
