1
All forms of energy fall under 2 categories: Potential Kinetic
2
This is stored energy that is capable of producing motion. This is also energy that gravity works on. Potential Energy
3
Potential Chemical Nuclear Stored Mechanical Gravitational Eureka Potential “Good Canoes Never Sink”
4
Chemical Energy Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. – Examples- Petroleum (gasoline) Natural gas Batteries Food
5
Nuclear Energy Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom Energy that holds the nucleus together.
6
Stored Mechanical Energy Energy that is stored in objects by application of a force. Example- – Compressed springs – Stretched rubber bands Video 1: 1 minutes
7
Gravitational Energy Energy of place or position. – When I hold a ball in the air - if I let it drop gravity will act on it When the ball is let go it becomes an example of motion energy
8
Kinetic Energy This is energy in motion. Kinetic energy is the motion of : – Substances – Electrons – Waves
9
Kinetic Thermal Electrical Radiant Motion Sound Eureka Kinetic “TERMS”
10
Thermal Energy HEAT Internal energy in substances. Vibration and movement of atoms and molecules within substances – Geothermal energy
11
Electrical Energy Is the movement of electrons. – Lightning – Electricity
12
Radiant Energy Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse (up and down) waves. This energy includes: – Visible light – X-rays – Gamma rays – Radio waves
13
Motion Movement of objects or substances from one place to another. – Wind – Hydropower
14
Sound Movement of energy through objects in longitudinal waves. Play 3-4 minutes
