Changing Forms of Energy Chapter 14
Energy • Energy- the ability to do work or cause a change • It can change an objects motion, color, shape, temperature, or other qualities • It cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred to other objects
Examples of Energy Transfer • A lamp changes electrical energy into light energy • Gasoline releases a chemical energy that moves a car • Other kinds of energy: Sound, light, electricity, magnetism, chemical, nuclear, mechanical, thermal
Kinetic and Potential Energy • Kinetic: Energy due to motion • Potential: Energy that is not causing any changes now, but could cause changes in the future • Read pages 448-451
Potential and Kinetic Energy • Potential • Water behind a dam • Battery • Kinetic • Water moving across turbine blades
4 Main Types of Energy • Chemical Energy • Heat Energy • Light Energy • Mechanical Energy
Chemical Energy • A kind of potential energy • Energy caused by chemical reactions • Examples: • Cooking food • Burning something • Batteries • Matches
Mechanical Energy • Mechanical energy is matter in motion. • An airplane soaring through the sky has mechanical energy just like the wind or a flowing river. • Sound is another type of mechanical energy. • Other examples: compressed springs, stretched rubber bands, bow and arrow, hammer and nail
Thermal (Heat) Energy • The total of all the kinetic and potential energy of the atoms in an object • When any forms of matter gets warmer, the object’s thermal energy increases
Thermal (Heat) Energy • Energy pushed into motion by heat • Examples: • Insulation • Refrigerators • Air conditioners • The Sun • Stove
Conduction, Convection, and Radiation • Read page 465 in your book
Conduction • The flow of heat between objects that are touching
Convection • The movement of warm liquids or gases to cooler areas
Radiation • The movement of energy by electromagnetic waves
Light Energy • Travels in waves • It is Electromagnetic Radiation – a combination of electrical and magnetic energy • Look at the pictures on page 458 & 459
Light Energy • Light energy comes from the Sun. Plants use it to make food and scientists use it to create lasers. • Examples: • Light bulb • Fire • The Sun • Flashlight • Firefly/Lightning bug
Concave Lens • Light is bent outward • Makes objects look smaller
Convex Lens • Bends light rays to make objects look larger • Thickest in the middle • Magnifying glass is one example

Sound Energy • Sound is a wave of vibrations that spreads from its source • Frequency- how fast particles are vibrating • Read page 454 and 455 to yourself • How does your ear work? • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMXoHKwWmU8
