What is energy?
• Energy is the ability to cause change.
• Energy can cause changes in the
motions of objects.
energy
from Greek energeia, means
“activity”
What is energy? (cont.)
What is energy?
Kinetic Energy—Energy of Motion
• Kinetic energy is energy due to motion.
• All moving objects have kinetic energy.
• The faster an object moves, the more
kinetic energy it has.
• If two objects move at the same speed,
the object with more mass has more
kinetic energy.
The kinetic energy (KE) of an object
depends on its speed and its mass. The
vertical bars show the kinetic energy of
each vehicle.
Kinetic Energy—Energy of Motion
(cont.)
What is kinetic energy?
Potential Energy—Stored Energy
• Potential energy is stored energy due
to the interactions between objects or
particles.
• The gravitational potential energy stored
between an object and Earth depends on
the object’s weight and height.
• Elastic potential energy is energy stored
in objects that are compressed or
stretched.
Chemical potential energy is energy stored
in the chemical bonds between atoms.
Potential Energy—Stored Energy (cont.)
In what way are all forms of
potential energy the same?
Energy and Work
• Work is the transfer of energy that
occurs when a force is applied over a
distance.
• Work depends on both force and
distance.
• You only do work on an object if that
object moves.
The girl does work on the box as she lifts it.
The work she does transfers energy to the
box. The colored bars show the work that
the girl does (W) and the box’s potential
energy (PE).
Energy and Work (cont.)
How is energy related to work?
All energy can be measured in joules (J).
Other Forms of Energy
Describe three forms of energy.
• Energy is the
ability to cause
change.
• The gravitational
potential energy between an object
and Earth increases when you lift the
object.

apply a force to that object over a
distance.

as the total energy of an object or
group of objects due to largescale motions and interactions?
A. electric energy
B. mechanical energy
C. radiant energy
D. thermal energy

Changes Between Forms of Energy
The changes from one type of energy to
another type of energy are called energy
transformations.

into radiant energy.

electromagnetic waves
Common Use bright and shining;
glowing
Changes Between Kinetic
and Potential Energy
Energy changes between
kinetic energy (KE) and
potential energy (PE)
when a ball is thrown and
moves upward and then
downward.
• As the ball moves upward,
its speed and kinetic
energy decrease, but the
potential energy is
increasing because the
ball’s height is increasing.
• At the ball’s highest point,
the gravitational potential
energy is greatest, and the
ball’s kinetic energy is the
least.
• As the ball moves
downward, potential
energy decreases. At the
same time, the ball’s
kinetic energy increases.
• When the ball reaches the
player’s hand again, its
kinetic energy is at the
maximum value again.
The Law of Conservation of Energy
According to the law of conservation of
energy, energy can be transformed from
one form into another or transferred from
one region to another, but energy cannot
be created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation
of energy?
The Law of Conservation of Energy
(cont.)
Friction is a force that resists the
sliding of two surfaces that are touching.
friction
from Latin fricare, means “to rub”
Friction and the Law of
Conservation of Energy
• What happens to mechanical energy
when you apply the bicycle brakes and
the bicycle stops?
• A moving bicycle has mechanical energy.
When you apply the brakes, the bicycle’s
mechanical energy is not destroyed.
Friction and the Law of
Conservation of Energy (cont.)
• The mechanical energy is transformed
into thermal energy. Friction between the
brake pad and the moving wheel
transforms mechanical energy into
thermal energy.
• There is always friction between any two
surfaces that are rubbing against each
other.
Using Energy
• When you use energy, you usually
change it from one form into another.
• All forms of energy can be transformed
into thermal energy.
• During photosynthesis, a plant
transforms the Sun’s radiant energy into
chemical energy that it stores in
chemical compounds.
Using Energy (cont.)
What happens to energy when
it is used?
Using Energy (cont.)
• When energy changes form, some
thermal energy is always released.
• Scientists often refer to thermal energy
that cannot be used as waste energy.
• Whenever energy is used, some energy
is transformed into useful energy and
some is transformed into waste energy.
• Energy can change
form, but according
to the law of
conservation of
energy, energy can
never be created or
destroyed.
• Friction transforms mechanical
energy into thermal energy.
• Different forms of energy, such as
sound and radiant energy, are used
when someone talks on a cell phone.

• thermal insulator
Heat
• Heat is thermal energy moving from
a region of higher temperature to a
region of lower temperature.
• Objects contain thermal energy, not
heat.
Heat (cont.)
How is heat related to
thermal energy?
Heat (cont.)
• The movement of thermal energy
causes changes in temperature.
• Two objects in contact with each other
at the same temperature are said to be
in thermal equilibrium.
Conduction
Conduction is the transfer of thermal
energy due to collisions between
particles in matter.
Conduction (cont.)
• Conduction occurs in solids, liquids,
and gases.
• When faster-moving particles collide
with nearby particles at slower speeds,
thermal energy is transferred.
• A material in which thermal energy
moves quickly is called a thermal
conductor.
Conduction (cont.)
• Solids are better thermal conductors
than liquids and gases.
• Most metals are excellent thermal
conductors.
Conduction (cont.)
• A material in which thermal energy
moves slowly is a thermal insulator.
• A winter coat filled with an air-trapping
material is a good example of a
thermal insulator.
Convection
Convection is the transfer of thermal
energy by the movement of particles
from one part of a material to another.
convection
from Latin convehere, means
“to carry together”
Convection (cont.)
• Convection occurs in liquids and
gases.
• Convection begins when part of a liquid
or gas becomes warmer than the rest
of it.
• The cooler, denser liquid or gas falls,
pushing the warmer, less dense liquid
or gas to the top.
Radiation
• Radiation is the transfer of thermal
energy from one object to another by
electromagnetic waves.
• Radiation transfers thermal energy
through matter or through space,
where no matter exists.
• Radiation occurs between objects that
are not in contact.
Radiation (cont.)
• All objects give off electromagnetic
waves, but most are not visible.
• Extremely hot objects emit visible light.
• Electromagnetic waves carry energy
and radiation transfers this thermal
energy from objects at higher
temperatures to objects at lower
temperatures.
Radiation (cont.)
• This hat, coat, and scarf are thermal
insulators because thermal energy
moves slowly through them.
• The transfer of thermal energy by the
movement of particles from one part of
a material to another
is convection.
• The transfer of
thermal energy by
electromagnetic
waves is radiation.
