Yesterday’s Learning Goal:

I can define energy and can tell the difference between work and power.

Energy is the mover and changer of the matterWork is the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distancePower is the rate at which work is done

2

Homework Review

• Work is a measure of energy

• Work is only done when an object is moving

• Work is a vector which means it has an amount and a direction

• Negative work means the object is moving backwards or the force is pushing back

Homework Review

Units:

Work is Joules (J)

Power is Watts (W)

Formulas:

Work = force x distance

Power = work / time

4

Today’s Learning Goal

I can explain the relationship between potential energyand kinetic energy.

5

Energy

A

B

What is different about the “energy” between A and B?

6

Types of Energy

Potential Energy(PE)

“Stored” energy because of position, shape or state

Potential to do work

7

Potential Energy

Examples:

Drawn bow

Energy in food

Water at the top of the waterfall

8

Types of Potential Energy

The water at the top of thewaterfall is an example ofGravitational PE

The energy stored in food is an example of Chemical PE

The energy is a compressed spring is Elastic PE

Other types: Electromagnetic and Nuclear

9

Calculating Gravitational PE

Work = Force x Distance

For P.E.

Force = Force due to gravity (Weight)

= Mass x 10 (N/km)

Distance = Height

10

Potential Energy Example

Which has more Potential Energy?

A B C

3 m

Each ball weighs 10 N

PE (work) is the same for all 3 3 m x 10 N = 30 J

11

CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR

Does a car hoisted for an oil change in a service station have PE?

How much work will raise the car twice as high? Three times as high?

How much more PE will it have in these cases?

12

CHECK YOURSELF

Suppose you were to drop a bowling ball on your toe—first from a distance of 1 mm above your toe.

How would that feel?

What about 1 meters?

What about 5 meters?

13

CHECK YOURSELF

Each time, the bowling ball would do more work on your toe, because it would have more gravitational potential energy when released.

14

Learning Goal Check

How do you feel about Potential Energy?

Could you explain Potential Energy to your friends or family?

15

Potential and Kinetic Energy

16

What is Kinetic Energy?

How much potential energy does A have?

What about B?

Does B have energy?

A

B

17

Kinetic Energy

Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy associated with a moving object

A

B

D

C

A = all PE B =all KE C=PE & KE D=all PE

An object can have PE & KE!

18

Kinetic Energy

Energy can be transferred from one object to another.

Energy can change from between PE and KE.

KE to PEPE to KE

19

Calculating Kinetic Energy

The KE of an object depends on its mass and speed

KE = ½ mass x speed2 = 1/2mv2

Note: KE is also a measure of work so the unit is Joules!

20

Kinetic Energy Example

A car moving along a road has kinetic energy. How much more KE will a car that is twice as heavy have?

Car 1 Mass = 100 kgSpeed = 10 m/s

KE = ½(100)(10)2

KE = 5000 J

Car 2 Mass = 200 kgSpeed = 10 m/s

KE = ½(200)(10)2

KE = 10000 J

21

CHECK YOURSELF

When the brakes of a car are locked, the car skids to a stop. How much farther will the car skid if it’s moving 3 times as fast?

Car Slow Mass = 100 kgSpeed = 10 m/s

KE = ½(100)(10)2

KE = 5000 J

Car Fast Mass = 100 kgSpeed = 30 m/s

KE = ½(100)(30)2

KE = 45000 J

9 times the work = 9 times the distance!

22

Formula Review

Velocity = distance / time

Force = mass x acceleration

Momentum = mass x velocity

Impulse = force x time

Work = force x distance

Power = work / time

PE = mass x 10 x height

KE = ½ mass x velocity2
