  1. The Eight Forms of Energy • Energy can neither be created nor destroyed • Most the energy on our planet comes from the sun • Without Energy, no work could be done!

  2. An overview of the Energy Forms

  3. Gravitational Energy • Gravitational energy is the energy that an object has while it is suspended above the Earth.

  4. Light Energy • A form of energy you can see • The sun and the stars • There are many sources that can supply light as energy: • Stars, Electricity, Fires, etc

  5. Thermal Energy • Heat energy is the result of particles in motion • Explained by the KMT • Excessive heat causes pain sensors in your skin to fire madly, indicating pain from heat • Heat comes from many sources: • Electrical Energy • Chemical Energy (for example, fires) • Mechanical energy (rubbing your hands)

  6. Magnetic Energy • an energy form that causes some objects to repel and others to attract each other • It is related to electricity, which we will explain fully in grade 10

  7. Elastic Energy • the build up of energy (potential) is stored in an object until it is finally released • Earthquakes • Rubber Bands

  8. Sound Energy • sound energy is caused by vibrating particles, which pass a sound wave through air or some other medium like water • Some of the best vibrations pass through water, which is why whales can communicate long distances

  9. Chemical Energy • The food we eat contains chemical energy • That energy is released by digestion • Chemical energy is also stored in chemical compounds like TNT, you know as dynamite.

  10. Mechanical Energy • The energy of motion • Your bicycle is a perfect example • Anything that moves has mechanical energy that we can measure

  11. Nuclear Energy • Nuclear power comes from releasing the power stored in the ATOM!!!! Force two H atoms together and massive energy is released Split He into 2 Hydrogen atoms and you release energy in huge quantities!

  12. Electrical Energy Electricity comes from many sources. It runs your lamps, stereo, toaster, DVD, and the washing machine!

  13. What does all this mean to you? Energy has 10 forms and you must know them !! Energy can be transformed between the types. Eg Electical to heat!

  14. A Quick Quiz! • Name 4 forms of energy. • What is magnetic energy? Give eg. • What is chemical energy? Give eg. • How does an elastic store elastic energy? • What is the major source of energy for the planet Earth? What types of energy does this source give us?

  15. That’s all Folks
