1. Energy Forms

2. GEORGIA S8P2 Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy –Compare and contrast the different forms of energy (heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound) and their characteristics.

3. Nature of Energy Energy is all around you! –Y–You can hear energy as sound. –Y–You can see energy as light. –A–And you can feel it as wind.

4. You use energy when you: –hit a softball. –lift your book bag. –compress a spring.

5. Nature of Energy Living organisms need energy for growth and movement.

6. Nature of Energy Energy is involved when: –a bird flies. –a bomb explodes. –rain falls from the sky. –electricity flows in a wire.

7. Nature of Energy What is energy that it can be involved in so many different activities? –Energy can be defined as the ability to do work. –If an object or organism does work (exerts a force over a distance to move an object) the object or organism uses energy.

8. Nature of Energy Because of the direct connection between energy and work, energy is measured in the same unit as work: joules (J). In addition to using energy to do work, objects gain energy because work is being done on them.

9. Forms of Energy The main forms of energy are:  Mechanical  Thermal  Chemical  Electrical  Electromagnetic  Sound  Nuclear

10. Mechanical Energy When work is done to an object, it acquires energy. The energy it acquires is known as mechanical energy. When you kick a football, you give mechanical energy to the football to make it move.

11. Mechanical Energy When you throw a bowling ball, you give it energy. When that bowling ball hits the pins, some of the energy is transferred to the pins (transfer of momentum).

12. Thermal Energy The internal motion of the atoms is called thermal energy, because moving particles produce heat. Thermal energy causes changes in temperature and phase of any form of matter.

13. Thermal Energy Thermal energy can be produced by friction. –When you rub your hands together on a cold day you produce heat or thermal energy.

14. Chemical Energy Chemical Energy is the energy that is stored in chemical bonds. Energy is always involved in breaking or forming chemical bonds. Fuel and food are forms of stored chemical energy.

15. Electrical Energy Electrical energy results from moving charges; depending on whether the charges are moving or stored it can be a form of kinetic or potential energy. –Computers, radios, televisions and lamps are all examples of electrical devices than operate using electrical energy.

16. Electromagnetic Energy Electromagnetic Energy results from the motion of the particles within atoms and usually travels in waves. These waves have some electrical & magnetic properties. –Sunlight, microwaves, radio waves & x-rays are forms of electromagnetic energy.

17. Sound Energy Sound Energy is given off by a vibrating object. This energy travels through matter in the form of waves.

18. Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is the most concentrated form of energy.

19. Nuclear Energy The nucleus of an atom is the source of nuclear energy. When the nucleus splits (fission), nuclear energy is released in the form of heat energy and light energy. Nuclear energy is also released when nuclei collide at high speeds and join (fusion).

20. Energy Transformation Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy transformations. All forms of energy can be converted into other forms. –The sun’s energy through solar cells can be converted directly into electricity. –Green plants convert the sun’s energy (electromagnetic) into starches and sugars (chemical energy).

21. Other Energy Transformation –In an electric motor, electromagnetic energy is converted to mechanical energy. –In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic energy. –The mechanical energy of a waterfall is converted to electrical energy in a generator.

22. Energy Transformation In an automobile engine, fuel is burned to convert chemical energy into heat energy. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.

23. Chemical  Heat  Mechanical

24. GEORGIA S8P2 Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy –Explain the relationship between potential and kinetic energy

25. States of Energy The most common energy conversion is the conversion between potential and kinetic energy. All forms of energy can be in either of two states: –Potential –Kinetic

26. States of Energy Kinetic and Potential Energy –Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. –Potential Energy is stored energy.

27. Kinetic Energy The energy of motion is called kinetic energy. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has. The greater the mass of a moving object, the more kinetic energy it has. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and velocity.

28. Kinetic Energy KE = ½ X mass X (velocity) 2 KE =1/2mv 2 What has a greater affect on kinetic energy, mass or velocity? Why?

29. Potential Energy Potential Energy is stored energy. –Stored chemically in fuel, the nucleus of atom, and in foods. –Or stored because of the work done on it: Stretching a rubber band. Winding a watch. Pulling back on a bow’s arrow. Lifting a brick high in the air.

30. Potential Energy Energy that is stored due to being stretched or compressed is called elastic potential energy.

31. Potential Energy If you stand on a 3-meter diving board, you have 3 times the P.E, than you had on a 1- meter diving board.

32. Potential Energy “The bigger they are the harder they fall” is not just a saying. It’s true. Objects with more mass have greater P.E. The formula to find P.E. is Potential energy = mass x height PE = m x h.

33. Kinetic-Potential Energy Conversion Roller coasters work because of the energy that is built into the system. Initially, the cars are pulled mechanically up the tallest hill, giving them a great deal of potential energy. From that point, the conversion between potential and kinetic energy powers the cars throughout the entire ride.

34. Kinetic vs. Potential Energy At the point of maximum potential energy, the car has minimum kinetic energy.

35. Kinetic-Potential Energy Conversions As a basketball player throws the ball into the air, various energy conversions take place.

36. Ball slows down Ball speeds up

38. GEORGIA S8P2 Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy –Explain energy transformation in terms of the Law of Conservation of Energy

39. The Law of Conservation of Energy Energy can be neither created nor destroyed by ordinary means. It can only be converted from one form to another.

40. GEORGIA S8P2 Students will be familiar with the forms and transformations of energy –Describe how heat can be transferred through matter by the collisions of atoms (conduction) or through space (radiation). In a liquid or gas, currents will facilitate the transfer of heat (convection).

41. Thermal Energy Is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a sample of matter. Depends on two things: Temperature of the substance How much of the substance is present

42. Thermal Energy Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance

43. Thermal Energy Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects at different temperatures. Conduction is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat in fluids (gas or liquid) by the movement of currents that from in the fluids Radiation is the transfer of heat without matter

44. Thermal Energy Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact of particles. When a metal poker is put in a hot fire, the exposed end of the poker soon becomes hot as well, even though it is not directly in contact with the source of heat. We say that heat has been conducted from the hot end to the cold end.

45. Thermal Energy Convection is the process of heat transfer through the mass motion or flow of some fluid, such as air or water. When a pot of water is heated, convection currents are set up as the heated water at the bottom of the pot rises because of its reduced density and is replaced by cooler water from above.

46. Thermal Energy Radiation is the transfer of heat without matter. It is transferred by the movement of electromagnetic waves. The heat Earth receives from the Sun results from radiation. Radiation is also responsible for the warmth you feel from a fire.
