1 Energy Laws & Types

2 Energy: the ability to do work or cause change

3 Energy is always involved when physical or chemical changes occur in matter

4 You can detect the effects of energy when matter is moved, when it reacts, or when energy is transformed from one form to another form

5 Forms of Energy Thermal (heat) Chemical Electromagnetic Nuclear
The five main forms of energy are: Thermal (heat) Chemical Electromagnetic Nuclear Mechanical

6 A. Energy ENERGY THERMAL The ability to cause change. MECHANICAL
internal motion of particles ENERGY MECHANICAL NUCLEAR motion of objects changes in the nucleus Electromagnetic joules (J) CHEMICAL motion of electric charges bonding of atoms

7 Thermal Energy The internal motion of the atoms is called heat energy, because moving particles produce heat. Heat energy can be produced by friction. Heat energy causes changes in temperature and phase of any form of matter.

8 Chemical Energy Chemical Energy is required to bond atoms together.
And when bonds are broken, energy is released.

9 Chemical Energy Fuel and food are forms of stored chemical energy.

10 Electromagnetic Energy
Power lines carry electromagnetic energy into your home in the form of electricity.

11 Electromagnetic Energy
Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. Each color of light (Roy G Biv) represents a different amount of electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic Energy is also carried by X-rays, radio waves, and laser light.

12 Nuclear Energy The nucleus of an atom is the source of nuclear energy.

13 Nuclear Energy When the nucleus splits (fission), nuclear energy is released in the form of heat energy and light energy. Nuclear energy is also released when nuclei collide at high speeds and join (fuse).

14 Nuclear Energy The sun’s energy is produced from a nuclear fusion reaction in which hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium nuclei.

15 Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the most concentrated form of energy.
Most of us live within 10 miles of the Surry Nuclear Power Plant which converts nuclear energy into electromagnetic energy.

16 Mechanical Energy When work is done to an object, it acquires energy. The energy it acquires is known as mechanical energy.

17 Mechanical Energy When you kick a football, you give mechancal energy to the football to make it move.

18 Mechanical Energy When you throw a balling ball, you give it energy. When that bowling ball hits the pins, some of the energy is transferred to the pins (transfer of momentum).

19 Energy Conversion Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy conversions.

20 Energy conversions All forms of energy can be converted into other forms. The sun’s energy through solar cells can be converted directly into electricity. Green plants convert the sun’s energy (electromagnetic) into starches and sugars (chemical energy).

21 Other energy conversions
In an electric motor, electromagnetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic energy. The mechanical energy of a waterfall is converted to electrical energy in a generator.

22 Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change from one form to another

23 2 Main Types of Energy: Potential or Kinetic

24 Potential energy is stored energy that has not been used.

25 Potential Energy PE= mgh PE- potential energy (J) m- mass(kg)
Formula: PE= mgh PE- potential energy (J) m- mass(kg) g- gravity ( always 9.8 m/s2) h- height (m)

26 Examples Potential Energy

27 Batteries Potential energy

28 Food

29 Gasoline (fuel)

30 Pulled back Bow and Arrow
A stretched back arrow has potential energy

31 Rollercoaster at top of hill
Potential energy at top of coaster.

32 Do you have more examples of potential energy?

33 An object has potential energy because of its position, shape, or chemistry

34 An object’s potential energy is increasing as it gets higher

35 The more mass an object has the more potential energy it has

36 Kinetic energy is energy of motion.

37 Kinetic Energy Formula KE= 1/2mv2 M- mass (kg) V- Velocity (m/s)
To solve work backwards! Square first, then multiple and finally divide by 2.

38 Examples Kinetic Energy

39 Swinging a Hammer

40 Throwing a Ball

41 Running

42 Weather

43 Do you have more examples of kinetic energy?

44 The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass and speed

45 The faster the object goes, the more kinetic energy the object has

46 An object with a larger mass will have more kinetic energy than a smaller object at the same height

47 As the potential energy increases, the kinetic energy decreases

48 As the potential energy decreases, the kinetic energy increases

49 Examples both Potential and Kinetic energy

51 Pendulum Wrecking ball has potential energy. Hand has kinetic energy

52 Trampoline Potential energy when you are at top of bounce. Potential energy when trampoline is stretched down towards ground.

53 Avalanche

54 Waterfall

60 What is the relationship of potential and kinetic energy?

61 Potential and kinetic energy are inversely proportional
