1
Catalyst What is potential energy? What is kinetic energy? Give an example of each.
2
Day 3: Forms of Energy
3
Forms of Energy 1. All energy falls into two categories: Potential: stored energy and energy of position Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.
4
2. What Forms of Energy Are There? POTENTIALKINETIC Chemical Energy Nuclear Energy Gravitational Energy Radiant Energy Electrical Energy Mechanical Sound Thermal Energy
5
How will we ever remember these?! Just remember the sentence: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.
6
Cam= Chemical Newton= Nuclear Got= Gravitational Really= Radiant Excited= Electrical Making= Mechanical Stinky= Sound Tacos= Thermal
7
1. Cam=Chemical Example: Matches, Digestion, batteries Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
8
2. Newton= Nuclear Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together. Example: Breaking down Uranium
9
3. Got= Gravitational Energy of place or position. Higher=more gravitational energy. Example: two plants at different heights
10
4. Really= Radiant Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves like light. Example: Visible Light
11
5. Excited= Electrical Movement of electrons. Example: lamp, computer
12
6. Making= Mechanical The movement of a substance from one place to another. Motion. Example: Riding a bike
13
7. Stinky = Sound Movement of energy through substances in waves. Example: bell
14
8. Tacos= Thermal The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat. Example: stove boiling water
15
What form of Energy?
