  1. Energy

  2. What is energy? • Energy measures the ability for things to change themselves or to cause change in other things.

  3. Units of energy • Pushing a 1-kilogram object with a force of one newton for a distance of one meter uses one joule of energy. • A joule (J) is the S.I. unit of measurement for energy.

  4. Joules • One joule is a pretty small amount of energy. • An ordinary 100 watt electric light bulb uses 100 joules of energy every second!

  5. Potential and Kinetic Energy Potential energy • capable of becoming active • stored energy • from the position of an object relative to Earth. potential energy = the mass times the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2) X the height

  6. Potential Energy mass of object (kg) height object raised (m) EP = mgh PE (joules) gravity (9.8 m/sec2)

  7. Potential and Kinetic Energy Kinetic energy • the energy of motion • depends on the mass of the object as well as the speed of that object • A moving cart has kinetic energy because it can hit another object (like clay) and cause change.

  8. Kinetic Energy KE (joules) mass of object (kg) EK = ½ mv2 velocity (m/sec)

  9. Some forms of energy Mechanical energy • is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion or its position. • Potential energy and kinetic energy are both forms of mechanical energy.

  10. Some forms of energy Chemical energy • is a form of energy stored in molecules. • Batteries are storage devices for chemical energy.

  11. Some forms of energy Electrical energy • comes from electric charge, which is one of the fundamental properties of all matter.

  12. More forms of energy Nuclear energy • is a form of energy stored in the nuclei of atoms. • In the Sun, nuclear energyis transformed to heat that eventually escapes the sun as radiant energy.

  13. More forms of energy Radiant energy • is energy that is carried by electromagnetic waves. • Light is one form of radiant energy.

  14. More forms of energy • The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light infrared radiation (heat), and ultraviolet light. • Light energy and heat energyare included in the electromagnetic spectrum.

  15. Sources of energy • All objects with mass feel forces in the presence of Earth’s gravity. • These forces are a source of energy for objects or moving matter such as falling rocks and falling water.

  16. Conservation of Energy • The idea that energy tranforms from one form into another without a change in the total amount is called the law of conservation of energy. • The law of energy conservation says the total energy before the change equals the total energy after it.

  17. Conservation of Energy • Systems change as energy flows and changes from one part of the system to another. • Each change transfers energy or transforms energy from one form to another.

  18. Conservation of Energy • When you throw a ball in the air, the energy transforms from kinetic to potential and then back to kinetic.
