Presentation Transcript

  1. Potential and Kinetic Energy

  2. Kinetic Energy Potential Energy Elastic Potential Energy Gravitation Potential Energy Chemical Potential Energy How is all energy divided? All Energy

  3. What is Potential Energy? • Energy that is stored and waiting to be used later

  4. What is Gravitational Potential Energy? • Potential energy due to an object’s position • P.E. = mass x height x gravity Don’t look down, Rover! Good boy!

  5. What is Elastic Potential Energy? • Potential energy due compression or expansion of an elastic object. Notice the ball compressing and expanding

  6. What is Chemical Potential Energy? • Potential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object

  7. What is Kinetic Energy? • Energy an object has due to its motion • K.E. = .5(mass x speed2)
