5. Potential and Kinetic Energy Reference Sheet Energy - is the ability to do work or cause change - can be changed from one form to another - cannot be created or destroyed Types: 1) Mechanical- the energy of objects that can move and position of an object a. KE + PE = ME b. Sound Waves Energy: Kinetic and Potential How to find PE: PE= mass x gravity (9.8) x height The key is locating the highest PE is to determine where an object is at it’s HIGHEST location. The LOWEST location would be lowest PE. How to find KE: KE= mass x speed x speed x 0.5 The key to locating the highest KE is to determine where an object is MOVING THE FASTEST. The lowest KE location would be its SLOWEST SPEED. Use these symbols: Highest PE Highest KE Lowest PE Lowest KE Speed = Distance/Time Speed is a way to describe the motion of an object. Speed refers to "how fast an object is moving." A fast-moving object has a high speed while a slow-moving object has a low speed. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed. Gravity- A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses Mass: is the measure of how much matter is an object Forms of Energy Energy is found in different forms including light, heat, chemical, and motion. There are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two categories: potential and kinetic. Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of Kinetic energy is motion —of waves, electrons, atoms, position — gravitational energy. There are several forms molecules, substances, and objects. of potential energy. Chemical Energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of stored chemical energy. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy when we burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine. Radiant Energy is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Radiant energy includes visible light, x-rays, gamma rays and radio waves. Light is one type of radiant energy. Sunshine is radiant energy, which provides the fuel and warmth that make life on Earth possible. Thermal Energy, or heat, is the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within substances. As an object is heated Mechanical Energy is energy stored in objects by tension. up, its atoms and molecules move and collide faster. Compressed springs and stretched rubber bands are Geothermal energy is the thermal energy in the Earth. examples of stored mechanical energy. Motion Energy is energy stored in the movement of objects. Nuclear Energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom The faster they move, the more energy is stored. It takes — the energy that holds the nucleus together. Very large energy to get an object moving, and energy is released when an amounts of energy can be released when the nuclei are object slows down. Wind is an example of motion energy. A combined or split apart. Nuclear power plants split the dramatic example of motion is a car crash, when the car comes nuclei of uranium atoms in a process called fission. The to a total stop and releases all its motion energy at once in an sun combines the nuclei of hydrogen atoms in a process uncontrolled instant. called fusion. Sound is the movement of energy through substances in Gravitational Energy is energy stored in an object's height. The higher and heavier the object, the more gravitational energy is stored. When you ride a bicycle down a steep hill and pick up speed, the gravitational energy is being converted to motion energy. Hydropower is another example of gravitational energy, where the dam "piles" up water from a river into a reservoir. longitudinal (compression/rarefaction) waves. Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate — the energy is transferred through the substance in a wave. Typically, the energy in sound is far less than other forms of energy. Electrical Energy is delivered by tiny charged particles called electrons, typically moving through a wire. Lightning is an example of electrical energy in nature, so powerful that it is not confined to a wire.
