5. Heat energy -transfer of thermal energy
Types of Energy
Thermal energy - due to temperature (recall that this comes from the motion of molecules, so it is really kinetic energy)
Heat energy -transfer of thermal energy
Chemical Potential Energy - stored in chemical bonds
Nuclear energy - stored in the nuclei of an atom
Electrical energy - EM interactions
Radiant energy -carried by EM waves

7. Energy CLIP Energy is the capacity (ability) to do work.
Potential Energy: Present in an object that has the potential to move because of its position
Kinetic Energy: Associated with an object in motion

8. Potential and Kinetic Energy

9. Kinetic Energy the mass (m) of the object the speed (v) of the object.
Motion
KE of an object depends upon two variables:
the mass (m) of the object
the speed (v) of the object.

10. Calculating Kinetic Energy

21. Gravitational Potential Energy
GPE is the energy stored in an object as the result of its vertical position (i.e., height).
Amt. of GPE is dependent on two variables:
the mass
the height

22. Calculating Gravitational Potential Energy

30. Conservation of
Energy

32. Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed…only changed from one form to another.
The total energy of an isolated system remains constant (isolated systems have no external forces and no mass changes)

33. ENERGY BEFORE = ENERGY AFTER
Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it does not disappear.

TOTAL ENERGY OF THE SYSTEM REMAINS THE SAME

37. Conservation of Mechanical Energy:
KEi + PEi = KEf + PEf
Problem: A student lifts his 2.0 kg pet rock 2.8 m straight up. He then lets it drop to the ground.
Calculate the following:
How much Potential Energy does it have at the top (before he drops it).
How much Kinetic Energy does it have at the top (before he drops it).
After it is dropped, how
much KE will it have when
it is 1.4 m above the ground?
Total=54.88
54.88 = PEf + KEf
54.88 = mgh + KEf
54.88 = (2) (9.8)(1.4) + Kef
54.88 = KEf
27.44 J = KEf

0 J

38. Conservation of Mechanical Energy:
Conservation of ME only hold true when the only energies of the system are KE and PE.
Therefore, in the presence of friction energy is transformed to other types of energies.

42. What happens when it hits the ground? Where did the energy all go?

43. As it is falling and when the object hits the ground the energy is converted into other types of energy such as:
sound energy (waves), Light Energy (sparks), thermal energy due to friction (heat) in the ground and air, vibrations in the earth (energy waves.)
If the object bounces, some energy is converted momentarily into elastic potential energy.
