Conservation of Energy
Chapter 4 Section 2
Transforming Energy
 Energy can change from one form to another
 Examples:
 Electrical energy  light, thermal energy, sound
 Chemical energy  kinetic energy to move a car,
thermal energy of a fire
 Light energy  into chemical bonds (plants do this
– what’s it called?)
Conversions between kinetic and Potential
Energy
 Mechanical energy is the total amount of potential and kinetic energy
in a system and can be expressed by this equation:
Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy
 It’s energy due to the position and motion of an object
The Law of Conservation of Energy
 The law of conservation of energy states that energy
cannot be created or destroyed.
 Energy can change from one form to another, but the total
amount of energy never changes.
