  1. Energy What is energy?

  2. What is energy?

  3. What is energy? • Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

  4. What is energy? Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Work = Force * distance

  5. What is energy? Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. Work = Force * distance Force = Mass * Acceleration

  6. What is energy? Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. The total amount of energy in the universe doesn’t change and has always been here.

  7. What is energy? Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. The total amount of energy in the universe doesn’t change and has always been here. 1st Law of Thermodynamics

  8. What forms does energy come in?

  9. What forms does energy come in? • Kinetic energy:

  10. What forms does energy come in? • Kinetic energy: The energy an object has due to its motion.

  11. What forms does energy come in? • Kinetic energy: The energy an object has due to its motion. • The kinetic energy of an object is due to both its mass and velocity.

  12. What forms does energy come in? • Kinetic energy: The energy an object has due to its motion. • The kinetic energy of an object is due to both its mass and velocity. • Kinetic energy = ½ X mass X velocity

  13. What forms does energy come in? • Potential energy:

  14. What forms does energy come in? • Potential energy: Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.

  15. What forms does energy come in? • Potential energy: Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object. • Gravitational potential energy:

  16. What forms does energy come in? • Potential energy: Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object. • Gravitational potential energy: Potential energy related to an object’s height.

  17. What forms does energy come in? • Potential energy: Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object. • Gravitational potential energy: Potential energy related to an object’s height. • Gravitational potential energy = weight X height

  18. Question? • Who has more gravitational potential energy? • Skier A has a mass of 50 kg and a height of 5m. • Skier B has a mass of 60 kg and a height of 4m.

  19. Question? • Who has more gravitational potential energy? • Skier A has a mass of 50 kg and a height of 5m. GPE = 50X5 = 250 J • Skier B has a mass of 60 kg and a height of 4m. GPE = 60X4 = 240 J

  20. What forms does energy come in? • Potential energy: Stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object. • Gravitational potential energy: Potential energy related to an object’s height. • Gravitational potential energy = weight X height • Elastic potential energy: The potential energy of objects that can be stretched or compressed.
