1. Potential and Kinetic Energy

2. What is Energy Energy Two types of energy is the ability to do WORK!!!
Potential Energy
Kinetic Energy

3. Potential and Kinetic Energy

4. Animation

5. Potential Energy 1. Energy at rest 2. Stored Energy
3. Higher the object - greater the potential energy

6. Potential Energy
Which boulder has the least amount of potential energy and Why?

7. Types of Potential Energy
Elastic potential energy
Energy stored by things that stretch or compress
Gravitational potential energy (GPE)
The amount of GPE an object has depends on its mass, the acceleration due to gravity, and its height above ground.

8. Quick Write: Elastic Potential Energy
Explain how this rubber band has elastic potential energy!

9. Quick Write: Potential Energy
When is the spring having potential energy?

10. Brain Pop Movie: Potential Energy

11. Calculating potential energy
PEg = m*g*h or PEg =Fw*h
Units
PEg = gravitational potential energy J or Nm
m = mass kg
g = acceleration due to gravity m/sec2
h = height m
Fw=Force of Weight N
NOTE: Units for kinetic and potential energy are J (joules). 1 joule = 1 kg × m2/sec2 = 1 Nm

13. Potential Energy Problems
A weight lifter lifts a 120 kg mass from the floor to a position above his head, 2.5 meters above the floor.  What is the potential energy expressed by the weight?
PE= m g h                    PE = (120)(9.8)(2.5)                    PE= 2940 J The potential energy of the weight is 2940 J.

14. 2. What is the potential energy of a 90 N boat before it falls from the top of a 30 m waterfall?
PE = ?
Fw = 90 N
h = 30 m
PE = Fw*h = (90 N) (30 m)
PE = 2700 N • m = 2700J

15. If the acceleration on a new planet is 5
If the acceleration on a new planet is 5.2 m/s2 and a meteor is sitting on a hilltop at 100 m with 650 J of PE, then what is the mass of the meteor?

16. Kinetic Energy 1. Energy of motion
2. The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass and its velocity

17. Calculating Kinetic Energy
KE = ½ mv2
Units
KE = kinetic energy J or Nm
m = mass kg
v = velocity m/sec

18. Example: KE = ½ mv2 m = 120 kg v = 30 m/sec KE=?
What is the kinetic energy of a 120 kg object moving at 30 m/sec?
KE = ½ mv2
m = 120 kg v = 30 m/sec KE=?
KE = ½ (120 kg)(30 m/sec)2
KE = (60 kg)(900 m2/sec2)
= kg m2/sec2 = J

19. Quick Writes: Kinetic Energy
Which one has the highest KE?
Which one has the least KE?
80 km/h
50 km/h

22. Potential and Kinetic Energy Practice Problems
1. A 100kg rock sets at the top of a 50 m cliff. What is the rocks potential energy?

23. 2. A 70 kg rock is falling at 30 m/sec. What is its kinetic energy?

24. 3. A 315 kg object sets at the top of a 50 m building
3. A 315 kg object sets at the top of a 50 m building. What is its potential energy?

25. 4. A car has 3600 J of kinetic energy and is going 3 m/sec
4. A car has 3600 J of kinetic energy and is going 3 m/sec. What is its mass?

26. Work Transfer of energy through motion.
2. The force must act in the same direction as the motion.
3. Force exerted through a distance

27. Example 1: Lifting a log is work.
Log moves in the direction the force is applied
Example 2: Carrying a log is not work.
Log is held up, but moves forward, therefore no work is done on the log.

28. Calculating Work
W = F*d
Units
W = work J
F = force N
d = distance m

29. Example: How much work is done when 87 kg mass is lifted 1.2 m?
W = F d d = 1.2 m FW = mg
m = 87 kg g = 9.8 m/sec2
W = mgd
W = (87 kg)(9.8 m/sec2)(1.2 m)
= 1023 J
