1. Energy Review
Physical Science

2. The Equations!
Kinetic Energy =
Gravitational Potential Energy = m g h

3. Conservation of Energy!
Important Equation
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed but only conserved.

4. Common Forms of Energy Potential and Kinetic (aka mechanical) Thermal
Chemical
Electrical (kind of)
Electromagnetic
Nuclear

5. Methods of Energy Production
Nonrenewable (fossil fuels, natural gas, etc.)
Hydroelectric Plants
Geothermal Plants

6. Methods Cont.
Solar Cells and Panels
Wind Turbines!

7. Ideal System (aka a perfect world)
Energy is not lost to friction or leaking.
In short energy is conserved and perpetual motion works

8. Real World Energy is lost to friction
Energy is lost to the production of other forms in conversion processes (such as sound and heat)
Energy is still conserved just we can convert 100% of it into the intended form

9. Nuclear Melt Down Japan
Hint: Question 10
