Energy

Learning objectives At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:1. Recall the definition for energy and state its unit.2. Iist the different forms of energy and their sources.3. Perform simple calculations for kinetic (K.E = ½

mv2 ) and potential energy( P.E = mgh) using the formulae.

1. (a) What do you understand by energy? State its unit.

(b) Energy can be classified into two groups; namely stored energy and ………….. .

2. (a) Light energy is produced by luminous bodies like the sun,................, and

…………….

(b) …………., ………….. And batteries are sources of chemical energy.

(c) …………….. Energy can be produced by generators, cells or batteries. It is a form

of energy that can be converted from one form to another.

(d) …………….. Is produced by vibrating objects.

(e) A hot bowl of soup possesses ……………… energy.

Calculations for kinetic and potential energy

1.A stone of mass 20 kg is released from a height of 5 m above the ground. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of the stone at the point of release. Take g = 10 m/s2.

2.From the Form 3 textbook pg 76 no 1:

Calculate the kinetic energy of a body of mass 10 kg moving at 5 m/s.

13

Law of conservation of energyEnergy can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy can be transformed from one form to the other.
