1 What is energy?

2 Forms of Energy: KE = Kinetic Energy (motion) PE = Potential Energy (position) ME = Mechanical Energy = KE + PE = ½ mv 2 + mgh

3 What is energy? Forms of Energy: KE = Kinetic Energy (motion) PE = Potential Energy (position) ME = Mechanical Energy = KE + PE = ½ mv 2 + mgh Where do you measure h from?

4 What is energy? Forms of Energy: KE = Kinetic Energy (motion) PE = Potential Energy (position) ME = Mechanical Energy = KE + PE = ½ mv 2 + mgh What happens when you bounce a ball?

5 What is energy? Forms of Energy: KE = Kinetic Energy (motion) PE = Potential Energy (position) ME = Mechanical Energy = KE + PE = ½ mv 2 + mgh Chemical Energy Nuclear Energy Thermal Energy Electrical Energy Radiant Energy (electromagnetic radiation; “light”) Physical Wave Energy (sound, water waves, seismic waves) Mass Unit is the joule

6 Thermal energy is a measure of the total kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

7 Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

8 Heat is the transfer of thermal energy

9 Work is the transfer of mechanical energy: W = F d = (Force x Distance) F = ma = (Mass x Acceleration)

10 Law of conservation of energy

11 Power = work / time 1 Watt = 1 joule / sec
