2 Forms OF ENERGY

3 What is Mechanical Energy? o 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!

4 Examples of Mechanical Energy

5 What is Electromagnetic Energy? o Wavelengths and Photons of Light or Radiation o Includes energy from gamma rays, xrays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared rays, microwave and radio bands

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

7 What is Chemical Energy? o The making or breaking of molecular bonds - - - chemical reactions. The chemical bonds in a matchstick store energy that is transformed into thermal energy when the match is struck.

8 Examples of Chemical Energy

9 What is Thermal Energy? o Heat energy o The heat energy of an object is determined by 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.

10 Sound Energy Vibrations of Waves through a medium Air Water Solid

11 Motion The change of position relative to time and the forces acting upon it. Examples Race Car Marathon Runner Ice Skater Friction

12 Electrical Energy Energy of the movement of electrons

13 Nuclear Energy Clean Energy from the splitting or fusing of atoms Fusion Fission Atomic bomb Sunlight Radiation

14 QUIZ TIME! What type of energy cooks food in a microwave oven? ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY What type of energy is the spinning plate inside of a microwave oven? MECHANICAL ENERGY

15 QUIZ TIME! Electrical energy is transported to your house through power lines. When you plug an electric fan to a power outlet, electrical energy is transform into what type of energy? MECHANICAL ENERGY

16 QUIZ TIME! What energy transformation occurs when an electric lamp is turned on? ELECTRICAL ENERGY  ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY

17 What types of energy are shown below? Mechanical and Thermal Energy (Don’t forget friction)

18 What type of energy is shown below? Chemical Energy

19 What types of energy are shown below? Electrical, Mechanical and Electromagnetic Energy

20 What type of energy is shown below? Chemical Energy (yummy)

21 What type of energy is shown below? Thermal Energy

22 Draw a flow map showing the flow of energy transformations in a car from starting vehicle to driving. You should have 5 different types of energy transformations.

23 Energy Transfer Chemical Electrical Sound (mechanical) Light (Electromagnetic) Thermal Mechanical
