2
ENERGY Above and beyond PE & KE
3
THE LAW: CONSERVATION OF ENERGY ∑ E1 =∑E2 Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it only changes form Energy in = energy out Heat, light and sound are common forms of energy transfer
4
Many types of Energy Mechanical (PE & KE) Gravitational Kinetic Chemical Nuclear Electromagnetic Thermal
5
Mechanical Energy A object that is able to do work has mechanical energy Examples: Cars, trains, tractors, hammers, etc
6
Kinetic Energy (KE) The energy of motion KE=1/2mv 2 Expressed as Joules (J) Example: Book falling from shelf
7
Potential Energy (PE) Stored energy “The energy of position in a force field” PE=mgh Example: Book on a shelf aka: gravitational energy
8
Thermal Energy When the amount of heat added to a system and something happens to the system, Thermal Energy is to blame Expressed as ΔQ Example: Heat added to water activates the water molecules, increasing the KE of the system
9
Chemical Energy When certain chemicals combine, energy is released Most important source of energy right now Example: Combustion of glucose (sugar) in our bodies C 6 H 12 O 6 +6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + 690 kcal/mole
10
Electromagnetic Energy Waves transporting energy from one point to another Rapid variation of electric and magnetic field Examples: radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, etc
11
Electrical energy Energy due to the separation of charges Example: electricity!
12
Nuclear Energy aka mass energy E= mc 2 Einstein first observed that anything with mass has energy Unstable isotopes can be fused or split thus liberating the energy within Examples: Fission & fusion
13
Nuclear Energy (cont’d) An incredibly small amount of mass has an incredibly large amount of energy Energy=mass x speed of light squared Speed of light = 3 x 10 8 m/s 50 grams of mass has potential to level an entire city
