Kinetic and Potential Energy have many forms. Types of Kinetic Motion Thermal Electrical Light Sound. 1. Motion Energy -. Energy associated with movement of any object. 2. Thermal Energy (Heat) -. Total energy of the particles in an object.

1. Motion Energy - Energy associated with movement of any object
2. Thermal Energy (Heat) - Total energy of the particles in an object
Example: Heating causes the particles to move faster = more thermal energy
4. Electrical energy - Energy of moving electrons
5. Radiant or Electromagnetic (Light) energy Travels in waves
6. Sound energy- Caused by an object’s vibrations
4 types of potential energy 1. Elastic P.E. Gravitation P.E. Chemical P. E. Nuclear.
Gravitational P.E. - Energy of position due to height GPE = mass x gravity x height Gravity = 9.8 m/s 2
Elastic P.E - Stored energy in something compressed or stretched.
Chemical Potential Energy Energy stored in chemical bonds Examples: food, gasoline
3. Chemical energy - Energy stored in chemical bonds
Calculating Potential Energy PE = (mass)(gravitational field strength)(height) or PE = m g h g = 9.8 N/kg Units: N/m or Joule (J)
7. Nuclear energy - Potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Mechanical Energy Sum of the Kinetic and Potential energy
Energy Conversions - A change from one form of energy to another
Conversion example 1 Lamp : electrical energy converts to light energy
Conversion example 2: Water heater : Chemical energy of gas to thermal (heat ) energy
Conversion example 3: Human body : converts chemical energy in food to mechanical energy
Law of Conservation of Energy • Energy cannot be created or destroyed • Energy can change from one form to another, but the total amount of energy always remains the same
Conversion of Energy • Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transformed from one form to another. • A waterfall has both kinetic and potential energy. • The water at the top of the waterfall has stored potential energy. • Once the water leaves the top of the waterfall, the potential energy is changed into kinetic energy.
