Nature of Energy
 Energy is all around you!
 You can hear energy as sound
 You can see energy as light
 And you can feel it as wind
 You use energy when you:




hit a softball
lift your book bag
compress a spring
digest your food
 All living things depend on energy for growth
and movement
Energy
 Energy: the ability to move or cause
change in matter (doing work)
 expressed in units of joules (J)
 can be transferred from one object to
another
 Two general types:
 Potential
 Kinetic
Potential Energy (PE)
 stored energy that an object has due to its position or
chemical composition
 example:
 Gravitational potential energy – results from vertical
position or height
0.45 kg
Which soccer ball has
more gravitational
potential energy? Explain
your reasoning.
0.45 kg
Kinetic Energy (KE)
 energy of motion
 increases as mass or velocity increases
2 m/s
3 m/s
0.45 kg
0.45 kg
Which soccer ball has
more kinetic energy?
Explain your reasoning.
Relationship Between PE and KE
PE KE
What is happening to
the PE and KE as the
soccer ball falls to the
feet of the mid-fielder?

Mechanical Energy
 energy that moves objects
 the total energy of motion
and position of an object
 may be in the form of
potential energy and/or
kinetic energy
 Example:
 If a student were to lift and/or
drop a stack of textbooks,
mechanical energy would be
involved
http://www.columbiastate.edu/HSS-Textbook-Information
What are some other examples of mechanical energy?
Sound Energy
 energy that results from the
vibration of particles in a solid,
liquid, or gas
 can be impacted by temperature
and pressure
 must have a medium (usually air) to
travel through - cannot travel
through empty space
 Medium: a substance through which it
can travel
This person is listening to
someone telling a secret.
How are the sound waves
being generated?
Chemical Energy
 type of potential energy stored in
the chemical composition of matter
 depends on the types and
≈464,000 J
arrangement of atoms in a
substance
 i.e.
 A bond between a hydrogen atom
and an oxygen (H-O) atom will
release more energy than one
between two carbon atoms (C-C)
≈347,000 J

Thermal (Heat) Energy
 results from the movement (kinetic
energy) of atoms or molecules in
matter
 when particles move faster they have
more thermal energy than when they
move slower
 depends on the number of particles in
a substance
Which box of particles
has more thermal energy?
Why?
Radiant/Electromagnetic Energy
 transmitted through space in the form of
electromagnetic waves
 light, X-rays, radio waves, etc. are representative of
electromagnetic energy
 can travel through empty space

Electrical Energy
 movement of electrons through a
conductor.
 Conductor: a material that can carry
electricity (ex. the wiring in homes,
lightning)
Nuclear Energy
 stored in the nucleus of an atom
 is released when an atom’s nucleus breaks apart (fission) or when the
nuclei of two atoms come together (fusion)
 Example:
 Nuclear fission takes place in a nuclear power plant while
nuclear fusion takes place in the Sun.

Is nuclear fission or
nuclear fusion taking
place? Explain your

Forms of Energy
(Grouping Activity)
 Organize the 21 cardstock sheets into seven groups.
Each group should consist of:
 words representing a form of energy (bold)
 some descriptions describing the form of energy (bullet)
 a visual representation of the form of energy.
 When you think the sheets are correctly grouped,
have me come and confirm whether it is correct.
Energy Conversions
 a change from one form of energy into another
 energy can be converted into any other form and is often
converted into more than one form
 most of the wasted or unwanted energy in a conversion is
attributed to heat (friction)
 Example
 Electromagnetic energy (in the form of light) from the Sun is
converted, by plants, into chemical energy in the form of glucose
light energy
6CO2 + H2O
What is an example of
an energy conversion
you have experienced
in your own life?

Wires
Battery
The apparatus to the
right was placed into a
bell jar. What energy
conversions take place
when it is operating?
1. Chemical energy
(in the battery)
3. Sound Energy
(noise coming from the buzzer)
Law of Conservation of Energy
 states that energy can be neither
created nor destroyed
 the total amount of energy in a
closed system is the same
 energy can be changed from one
form to another, but all of the
different forms of energy add up to
the same total amount of energy
PE = 24 J
KE = 0 J
PE = 12 J
KE = 12 J
A seagull steals a sandwich and drops it from a height of 7 m
before eating it. What would be the sandwich’s approximate
PE and KE as it falls to the ground if air resistance is negligible?
PE = 0 J
KE = 24 J
