1. Energy Something that enables an object to work is called energy. What are some different forms of energy? –Potential –Electrical –Mechanical –Kinetic

2. Potential Energy Potential Energy: energy that is stored and held in readiness to do work. Any substance that can do work has potential energy. –Fossil Fuels –Electric Batteries –Food

3. Potential Energy Work is required to elevate objects This potential energy is called –Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) The amount of gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done against gravity by lifting it.

4. Energy is the physical agent that allows work to be done. Energy has many forms: –In motion (KE) –In position (GPE) –In the physical/chemical properties of materials (EPE) Energy, like work, is measured in Joules (J). AB Energy

25. The MVE A statement of the conservation of energy that includes most of the forms of mechanical energy. KE GPE EPE RKE Energy BeforeEnergy After

26. External Work ( W o ) W o is any work done by the system or on the system during an energy transition. In cases where energy is added to the system, W o is positive(+). Examples include motors and muscles. In cases where energy is lost by the system, W o is negative(-). Examples include friction and air resistance.

27. How far does it fall?  If the block slides a distance d down the plane, then how far does it fall at the same time?

28. Conservation of Energy Example A ball, initially traveling at a velocity of 14m/s is rolled up a frictionless hill until it stops.. How high up the hill did it go?

29. Understanding the MVE – Free Fall Key Factor What is the ball’s final height? What is the ball’s GPE? The height is always equal to zero, and the GPE is always equal to zero at the Lowest Point.
