1 What is an example of potential energy?
Journal #66 What is energy? What is an example of potential energy? What is an example of kinetic energy?

2 Forms of Energy

3 What is energy? Ability to do work or cause change Produces Warmth
Produces Light Produces Sound Produces Movement Produces Growth Powers Technology

4 POTENTIAL KINETIC Classes of Energy
Energy of motion Stored energy or energy of position Motion, Electrical, Sound, Radiant, Thermal Gravitational, Stored Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical

5 Potential Energy Gravitational Energy – energy an object or substance has because of its position Anything “up high”

6 Potential Energy Stored Mechanical Energy – stored in an object by the application of force Must push or pull on an object

7 Nuclear Energy – energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Potential Energy Nuclear Energy – energy stored in the nucleus of an atom Holds the atom together

8 Chemical Energy – energy stored in the bonds between atoms
Potential Energy Chemical Energy – energy stored in the bonds between atoms Holds molecules together

9 Kinetic Energy Mechanical (Motion) Energy – movement of objects or substances from one place to another .

10 Electrical Energy – movement of electrons
Kinetic Energy Electrical Energy – movement of electrons NOT AN ELECTRON PARADE!

11 Kinetic Energy Sound Energy – movement of energy through substances in the form of longitudinal/compression waves

12 Kinetic Energy Radiant Energy – electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves

13 Kinetic Energy Thermal (Heat) Energy – internal energy of a substance due to the vibration of atoms and molecules making up the substance

14 Energy Transfers 1 – Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed. Law of Conservation of Energy First Law of Thermodynamics 2 – Energy will always transfer from high to low. 3 – No energy transfer is 100% efficient.

15 Name the Transfer

16 Name the Transfer

17 Name the Transfer

18 Name the Transfer

19 In Review Energy does work or causes change.
Two main classes of energy: potential and kinetic.

20 Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed.
Potential Energy – stored energy or energy of position Gravitational, Stored Mechanical, Nuclear, Chemical Kinetic Energy – energy of motion Motion/Mechanical, Electrical, Sound, Radiant, Thermal/Heat Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only changed. Energy always transfers from high to low. Energy transfers are never 100% efficient.

23 Review Energy that is stored (or energy of position is commonly referred to as ____ energy.

24 Describe the energy transformations that occurred for a car to move.
Review Describe the energy transformations that occurred for a car to move.
