1 Potential and Kinetic Energy

2 How is all energy divided?
Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Gravitation Potential Energy Elastic Chemical

3 What is Potential Energy?
Energy that is stored and waiting to be used later

4 What is Gravitational Potential Energy?
Potential energy due to an object’s position P.E. = mass x height x gravity Don’t look down, Rover! Good boy!

5 What is Elastic Potential Energy?
Potential energy due compression or expansion of an elastic object. Notice the ball compressing and expanding

6 What is Chemical Potential Energy?
Potential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object

7 What is Kinetic Energy? Energy an object has due to its motion
K.E. = .5(mass x speed2)

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

9 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!

10 Examples of Mechanical Energy

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

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

13 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.

14 Examples of Chemical Energy

15 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.

16 ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
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

17 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

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

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

20 What type of energy is shown below?
Chemical Energy

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

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

23 What type of energy is shown below?
Thermal Energy

24 Conduction, Convection and Radiation
Heat Transfer Conduction, Convection and Radiation

25 What is Conduction? Conduction – heat transferred by particles colliding into one another, such as in a metal. Transfer of energy by touch Not an effective transfer in a gas. Primarily solids

26 Conduction

27 What is Convection? Convection – heat transferred by the circulation of a fluid (or gas), such as in a heating system at home; important near the surface of the Sun. Hot air rises cool air falls

28 Convection

29 What is Radiation? Radiation – heat transferred by the flow of electromagnetic radiation, like heat felt from the campfire. Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can happen in a vacuum. Heat transfer through waves

30 Radiation

31 Heat Transfer Sum It Up CONDUCTION: the transfer of energy through matter by direct contact of particles. This can happen in solids, liquids and gases. CONVECTION: the transfer of energy because of the movement of bulk masses of particles. This can happen only in liquids and gases - not in solids. RADIATION: the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. Energy can move by radiation in air like the heat from your electric stove top, or in the vacuum of space the way the Sun heats the Earth. In radiation, the energy does not have to transfer through mass (particles).
