EnergyThe Ability to do Work • Two types of energy : • Kinetic • Potential • Work is a transfer of energy • Both Work and Energy are Measured in Joules
KINETIC ENERGY The energy of motion; energy of a moving object KE= ½ M x V2 M= mass V = Velocity (speed) Velocity = Distance/time V= D/T
gravitational potential energy (GPE) - energy an object contains due to its position PE = M x G x H • M = mass • G = gravitational constant 9.8m/s/s • H = Height
elastic potential energy- • energy stored in an object that is being stretched, squashed, twisted, you name it!
Chemical Potential Energy • chemical energy - energy stored in fuel (ie. food) which is released when chemical reactions take place
The table below gives examples of kinetic and potential energy .
Calculating Kinetic Energy KE = ½ m x v2 A 0.10kg bird is flying at a constant speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the bird’s Kinetic Energy? KE= ½ (0.10Kg) x (8.0 m/s)2 = 3.2 Joules = 3.2 J
Suppose a diver at the top of a 10.0meter high diving platform has a mass of 50kg. What is her Potential Energy? PE= mghPE= 50Kg x 9.8m/s/s x 10.0 mPE= 4900 J
7 Forms of energy: electrical energy- energy transferred by an electric current thermal (heat) energy - energy of an object due to its temperature. This is partly because of the random kinetic energy of the particles of the object. nuclear energy - energy stored in an atom’s nucleus light energy - energy transferred through waves and light particles (photons) sound energy - energy transferred via sound waves Mechanical energy-the sum of an object’s potential energy and kinetic energy Electromagnetic Energy- energy that travels through space in waves http://sayitwithscience.tumblr.com/post/8104049758/there-are-9-types-of-energy-chemical-energy
