Potential and Kinetic Energy
3
Energy! All objects need energy to move! unit is Joules (J) Objects must store energy to be able to move later You store energy by _________ You store energy by _________ You use energy to 1) You use energy to 1) 2) 2) 3) 3)
4
How is all energy divided? Potential Energy Kinetic Energy All Energy Gravitation Potential Energy Elastic Potential Energy Chemical Potential Energy
5
What is Potential Energy? oEnergy that is stored and waiting to be used later oThe more energy an objects stores, the more movement it may have! oP.E. = mass x gravity x height
6
What is Gravitational Potential Energy? oPotential energy due to an object’s position The higher up you are, the more stored energy you have! Don’t look down,Rover!Good boy!Don’t look down,Rover!Good boy!
7
What is Elastic Potential Energy? oPotential energy due compression or expansion of an elastic object. Notice the ball compressing and expanding
8
What is Chemical Potential Energy? oPotential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object
9
What is Kinetic Energy? oEnergy used during motion oK.E. = ½ x mass x velocity 2
10
Work and Power
11
Work A force acting upon an object to cause a displacement ( (A force causes an object to MOVE!) For a force to qualify it must For a force to qualify it must 1. Displacement MUST happen 2. Force MUST cause the displacement What are some examples of work?
12
Examples a horse pulling a plow through the fields a horse pulling a plow through the fields a father pushing a grocery cart down the aisle of a grocery store a father pushing a grocery cart down the aisle of a grocery store (Hmmmm… work or a miracle?) a freshman lifting a backpack full of books upon her shoulder a freshman lifting a backpack full of books upon her shoulder (would a junior do work like this?) a weightlifter lifting a barbell above her head a weightlifter lifting a barbell above her head a shot-put launching the shot, etc. a shot-put launching the shot, etc.
13
Work or NOT? A teacher applies a force to a wall and becomes exhausted.A teacher applies a force to a wall and becomes exhausted. No. The wall is not displaced. A book falls off a table and free falls to the ground.A book falls off a table and free falls to the ground. Yes! The is a downward force (gravity) which acts on the book to displace it.Yes! The is a downward force (gravity) which acts on the book to displace it. A waiter carries a tray full of meals above his head by one arm across the room.A waiter carries a tray full of meals above his head by one arm across the room. No. There is an upward force, and there is a horizontal displacement but the force does not cause the displacementNo. There is an upward force, and there is a horizontal displacement but the force does not cause the displacement A rocket accelerates through space.A rocket accelerates through space. Yes the expelled gas is the force which accelerates the rocket through space.
14
Work Solving for work Work = force x distance (J) (N) (m) (J) (N) (m) ****If you are given mass (kg), you must find the FORCE of weight FIRST!! ****If you are given mass (kg), you must find the FORCE of weight FIRST!! weight = mass x gravity weight = mass x gravity
15
Power A measure of work done in a period of time Power = work / time (watts) (J) (s) (watts) (J) (s)
