TYPES OF ENERGY
Mechanical, Electromagnetic, Electrical,
Chemical and Thermal

2. What is Energy Energy can be defined as the ability to do work.
Whenever work is done, energy is transformed or is transferred from one system to another.

3. Main Forms of Energy Mechanical (Kinetic & Potential)
Electromagnetic (Radiant)
Electrical
Chemical
Thermal (Heat)
Sound Energy
Nuclear Energy

4. What is Mechanical Energy?
Energy due to a object’s motion (kinetic) or position (potential).
The bowling ball has mechanical energy.
When the ball strikes the pins, mechanical energy is transferred to the pins!

5. Examples of Mechanical Energy

6. What is Electromagnetic Energy?
Radiant energy
Includes energy from gamma rays, xrays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared rays, microwave and radio bands

7. What is Electrical Energy?
Energy caused by the movement of electrons
Easily transported through power lines and converted into other forms of energy

8. What is Chemical Energy?
Energy that is available for release from chemical reactions.
The chemical bonds in a matchstick store energy that is transformed into thermal energy when the match is struck.

9. Examples of Chemical Energy

10. What is Thermal Energy?
Heat energy
The heat energy of an object determines how active its atoms are.
A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement.
A cooler object's molecules and atoms will show less movement.

11. Nuclear Energy
Is stored in the nucleus of an atom and is released during nuclear reactions.
Ex: Nuclear fission and fusion
Nuclear power plants use fission reactions to produce electricity.

12. Kinetic & Potential Energy
Energy of motion
Formula:
KE = ½ mv²
KE = kinetic energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (m/s)
Energy of position or stored energy
Formula:
PE = mgh
PE = potential energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
g = gravity (m/s²)
h = height (m)

13. Practice Problems
How much kinetic energy does a 10 kg object traveling 3 m/s?
How much potential energy does a 4 kg object have that is 5 meters off the ground?
Calculate how much energy a 7 kg object sitting on a 3 meter ledge has.
A 4 kg rock is rolling 25 m/s. How much energy does the rock have?
A rolling ball has 24 joules of kinetic energy and is rolling 3 m/s. Find its mass.
