  1. ENERGY Energy Forms, Conversion, Resources and Conservation

  2. ENERGY - the ability to do work • Energy is known by the changes it causes

  3. WORK - when a force moves an object through a distance • Transfer of energy • Measured in Joules

  4. TYPES OF ENERGY • Kinetic Energy - energy of motion • Depends on an objects MASS and SPEED

  5. TYPES OF ENERGY • Potential Energy - stored energy due to position or shape • Depends on an objects MASS and POSITION

  6. TYPES OF POTENTIAL ENERGY • Gravitational Potential Energy – energy that depends on HEIGHT, MASS & ACCELERATION due to gravity

  7. TYPES OF POTENTIAL ENERGY • Elastic Potential Energy - energy that depends on how much an object is STRETCHED or COMPRESSED

  8. FORMS OF ENERGY • Mechanical – energy of motion & position • Thermal – energy of microscopic particles • Chemical – energy stored in chemical bonds

  9. FORMS OF ENERGY • Electrical – energy associated with electric charges • Electromagnetic – energy that travels in waves • Nuclear – energy stored in atomic nuclei

  10. FORMS OF ENERGY Is the energy staying in the same form in each of these pictures?

  11. ENERGY CONVERSION - process of converting energy from one form to another Name some energy conversions

  12. Is any energy LOST in the conversions?

  13. LAW OF CONSERVATIONOF ENERGY - states that energy CANNOT be created nor destroyed(can only be converted) BEGINNING E = ENDING E

  14. LAW OF CONSERVATIONOF ENERGY • Albert Einstein– famous scientist to theorize that energy & mass are equal • He also theorized that energy & mass can be converted into one another E = mc2 (theory of relativity)

  15. TYPES OF ENERGY RESOURCES • Nonrenewable – exist in limited quantities & cannot be replaced (except over millions of years) • creates pollution • ie. fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) & uranium

  16. TYPES OF ENERGY RESOURCES • Renewable – can be replaced in a short period of time • creates very little/no pollution • ie. hydroelectric, solar, geothermal, biomass, nuclear fusion & wind

  17. RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES • Hydroelectric – energy obtained by flowing water • Gravitational PE  Kinetic E • Water turns turbines connected to generators • Pros- low cost & no pollution • Cons - hampers fish spawning, requires lots of land & disrupts animal habitats

  18. RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES • Solar – sunlight converted into usable energy • Uses panels or photovoltaic (PV) cells • Pros - no pollution • Cons - high cost & climate dependent • Geothermal – thermal energy beneath Earth’s surface • Pumps water into ground which turns into steam & drives generators • Pros – no pollution • Cons – not widely available

  19. RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES • Biomass – energy stored in living things • Burning wood, garbage & crops • Creation of biofuels • Pros – never ending supply • Cons – some pollution • Nuclear fusion – fusion of hydrogen atoms • Pros – little waste & no pollution • Cons – technology not advanced enough

  20. RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES • Wind – horizontal movement of air turns turbines which turns a generator & creates electricity • Pros – no pollution • Cons – need wind, eye sore & requires lots of land

  21. ENERGY CONSERVATION – finding ways to use less energy or use energy more efficiently • ie. Turn off lights, carpool, energy efficient appliances & light bulbs • Can you think of other ways to conserve energy?
