ENERGY
Above and beyond PE & KE
THE LAW:
• CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
• ∑ E1 =∑E2
• Energy cannot be created or
destroyed; it only changes form
• Energy in = energy out
• Heat, light and sound are
common forms of energy
transfer
Many types of Energy
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mechanical (PE & KE)
Gravitational
Kinetic
Chemical
Nuclear
Electromagnetic
Thermal
Mechanical Energy
• A object that is able to do work
has mechanical energy
• Examples: Cars, trains, tractors,
hammers, etc
Kinetic Energy (KE)
•
•
•
•
The energy of motion
KE=1/2mv2
Expressed as Joules (J)
Example: Book falling from shelf
Potential Energy (PE)
• Stored energy
• “The energy of position in a
force field”
• PE=mgh
• Example: Book on a shelf
• aka: gravitational energy
Thermal Energy
• When the amount of heat added
to a system and something
happens to the system, Thermal
Energy is to blame
• Expressed as ΔQ
• Example: Heat added to water
activates the water molecules,
increasing the KE of the system
Chemical Energy
• When certain chemicals
combine, energy is released
• Most important source of
energy right now
• Example: Combustion of
glucose (sugar) in our bodies
• C6H12O6 +6O2
+ 690 kcal/mole
6CO2 + 6H2O
Electromagnetic Energy
• Waves transporting energy from
one point to another
• Rapid variation of electric and
magnetic field
• Examples: radio waves,
microwaves, infrared radiation,
visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays,
gamma rays, etc
Electrical energy
• Energy due to the separation of
charges
• Example: electricity!
Nuclear Energy
• aka mass energy
• E= mc2
• Einstein first observed that
anything with mass has energy
• Unstable isotopes can be fused
or split thus liberating the
energy within
• Examples: Fission & fusion
Nuclear Energy (cont’d)
• An incredibly small amount of
mass has an incredibly large
amount of energy
• Energy=mass x speed of light
squared
• Speed of light = 3 x 108 m/s
• 50 grams of mass has potential
to level an entire city
