1 Kinetic and Potential Energy have many forms

2 1. Mechanical Energy - Energy associated with motion or position

3 Examples: most moving objects have mechanical energy

4 2. Thermal Energy (Heat) - Total energy of the particles in an object

5 Example: Heating causes the particles to move faster = more thermal energy

6 3. Chemical energy - Energy stored in chemical bonds

7 Examples: wood, food, gasoline, batteries

8 4. Electrical energy - Energy of moving electrons

9 Example : electric outlet

10 5. Radiant or Electromagnetic (Light) energy Travels in waves

11 Examples: lightbulb, microwave

12 6. Sound energy- Caused by an object’s vibrations

13 Example : guitar, boombox

14 7. Nuclear energy - Potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

15 Example : nuclear power plants, sun

16 Energy Conversions - A change from one form of energy to another

17

18 Conversion example 1 Lamp : electrical energy converts to light energy

19 Conversion example 2: Water heater : Chemical energy of gas to thermal (heat ) energy

20 Conversion example 3: Human body : converts chemical energy in food to mechanical energy

21 Energy is Conserved

22 Energy is conserved

23 Energy is Conserved
