  1. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY KINETIC POTENTIAL MECHANICAL

  2. ENERGY the ability to change or move matter LawofConservationofEnergy: energy cannot be created or destroyed! (It can only change form!) electrical heat + light

  3. KINETIC ENERGY . . . IS MOVEMENT! Examples: • Of electrons: ELECTRICAL ENERGY • Of electromagnetic waves: RADIANT ENERGY (x-rays, UV, radio waves, microwaves, etc.) • Of heat: THERMAL ENERGY • Of a moving object: MECHANICAL ENERGY

  4. CALCULATING KE: EQUATION:UNITS: KE=mv2mass = kg 2 velocity = m/s KE = Joules (J) On your formula chart you will see this as : Kinetic Energy = ½ (mass × velocity2)

  5. SAMPLE PROBLEM: What is the [kinetic energy] of a 44 kg cheetah running at 31 m/s? G m = 44 kg, v = 31 m/s U KE = ? E KE = (mv2)/2 S KE = (44 kg)(312 m2/s2)/2 S KE = 21,142 J

  6. POTENTIAL ENERGY . . . IS STORED OR POSITIONAL! Examples: • In batteries: ELECTRICAL ENERGY • In bonds: CHEMICAL ENERGY (fossil fuels, glucose) • In an atom’s nucleus: NUCLEAR ENERGY • In machines: ELASTIC ENERGY (springs, rubber bands) • Of position (height): GRAVITATIONAL

  7. CALCULATING GPE:(Gravitational Potential Energy) Your Formula Chart shows the formula for GPE as: Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height EQUATION:UNITS: GPE = mgh mass = kg acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s2 height = m Weight = mg Weight = Newtons GPE = Joules

  8. SAMPLE PROBLEM: What is the GPE of a 2.0 kg rock that sits on the edge of a cliff 12 m high? G m = 2.0 kg, h = 12 m U GPE = ? E GPE = mgh S GPE = (2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(12 m) S GPE = 235.2 J

  9. MECHANICAL ENERGY • Equals the TOTAL energy in a system! • Is the sum of the PE and the KE. ME = KE + PE • Gradually decreases because of friction (lost as heat).

  10. Mechanical Energy in a Swinging Pendulum 2. At which point(s) is PE greatest? Why? 1. At which point(s) is KE greatest? Why? MAX PE MAX PE MAX KE 1. #3; the faster it moves, the greater its KE. 2. #1, #5; the higher it is, the greater its PE.

  11. If there is no loss of energy due to friction, the total (mechanical) energy remains the same! The KE and PE of a roller coaster changes as it travels down the track, depending on its speed and height. http://www.slcc.edu/schools/hum_sci/physics/tutor/2210/potential_energy/

  12. Quiz Directions: Identify the type of energy described in each problem below. Do not solve the problem. • A box on the shelf 2 meters high with a mass of 20 kg. • A ball rolling along a shelf that has a velocity of 5 m/s and a mass of 100 g. • A marble with a mass of 15 g at the top of a 15 cm tall slope. • A weight bar and weights that have a mass of 250 kg lifted up to a height of 2.5 m. • An automobile with a mass of 2000 kg and a velocity of 50 m/s.

  14. Part 2 Forms of Energy and Energy Transformation

  15. Forms of Energy Six forms of energy are: • Mechanical Energy • Heat Energy • Electromagnetic Energy • Chemical Energy • Radiant Energy • Nuclear Energy

  16. Energy Transformation • Energy is always changing from one form to another. • The Sun, primary source of energy on the Earth. • Nearly all energy comes from the sun. • Energy cannot be created or destroyed. (AKA: Law of Conservation of Energy)

  17. The Flow of Energy The Sun, Nuclear Energy Earth The Sun gives off Radiant energy in the form of light Energy received by the Earth is converted into heat and chemical energy.

  18. The Flow of Energy Plants convert light (radiant energy) into chemical energy (sugar or glucose) through a process called Photosynthesis. When light from the Sun hits the Earth the radiant energy is transformed into heat energy.

  19. Energy Transformation Radiant Electromagnetic Nuclear Mechanical Heat Chemical There are many examples of energy transformations. Give an example for each arrow in the following diagram.
