What is energy?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When something has the ability to change its environment Or change its self it has energy.

What is energy?

The ability to cause change.

When something has the ability to change its environment Or change its self it has energy.

• You use energy to arrange your hair to look the way you want it to.

• You also use energy when you walk down the halls of your school between classes or eat your lunch.

Change Requires Energy

Energy has several different forms, what are they? Describeeach.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2

Energy has several different forms, what are they? Describe each:Electrical – flow of electric charge through a conductor

Chemical – energy in a substance that can be changed by chemical reaction.

Radiant – transmitted by waves

Thermal – caused by heat or temperature

• If you have $100, you could store it in a variety of forms—cash in your wallet, a bank account, travelers’ checks, or gold or silver coins. It can be changed to other forms.

An Energy Analogy

• You could deposit your cash into a bank account or trade the cash for gold.

• Regardless of its form, money is money.

• The same is true for energy.

• Energy from the Sun that warms you and energy from the food that you eat are only different forms of the same thing.

What is the SI unit of energy? joule

What is the abbreviation? J

What is a Joule equal to? kg*m2/s2

Kinetic energy (J) = ½ X mass (kg) x velocity2 (m2s2)

KE = (½ )(m)(v2 ) (2)(KE) = v2

(2)(KE) = m m v2

• A hanging apple in a tree has stored energy.

• What is stored energy due to position called?

• Even motionless objects can have energy. This energy is stored in the object.

• A hanging apple in a tree has stored energy.

• What is stored energy due to position called?

• Even motionless objects can have energy. This energy is stored in the object.

7

Potential Energy (PE)

• If the apple stays in the tree, it will keep the stored energy due to its height above the ground. Potential Energy (PE)

• If it falls, that stored energy of position is converted to energy of motion. Kinetic Energy (KE)

• If you stretch a rubber band and let it go, it sails across the room.

• As it flies through the air, it has kinetic energy due to its motion.

• Where did this kinetic energy come from?

Elastic Potential Energy

• What is EPE? Energy stored by

something that can stretch or

compress, such as a rubber band

or spring.

• Energy is stored in the bonds that hold the carbon and hydrogen atoms together and is released when the gas is burned.

• In this chemical reaction, chemical potential energy is released.

Define Gravitational Potential Energy:____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What is the formula for GPE?

• On Earth the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2, and has the symbol G.

• Like all forms of energy, gravitational potential energy is measured in joules.

Define Gravitational Potential Energy:•Anything that can fall has stored energy called gravitational potential energy.

•(GPE) is energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth’s surface.

11

What is the formula for GPE?

GPE = h GPE = G GPE = m mG mh Gh

• According to the equation for gravitational potential energy, the GPE of an object can be increased by increasing its height above the ground.

• Use MGH to find GPE of a ball at two different heights.

First ball: Second ball:

M= 0.30kg M=0.30kg

G= 9.8m/s2

G=9.8m/s2

H=5m H=10m

12.3kg(9.8m/s2)(5m) = 14.7J .3kg(9.8m/s2)(10m) = 29.4J

Changing GPE • If two objects are at the same

height, then the object with the larger mass has more gravitational potential energy.

• Use MGH to find GPE of a ball at two different masses.

First ball: Second ball:

M= 0.30kg M=0.20kg

G= 9.8m/s2 G=9.8m/s2
