1.
Different forms:
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
A. Mechanical
B. Thermal
C. Chemical
D. Nuclear
E. Electrical
F. Light
G. Sound
2. Details
A. Mechanical
Mechanical energy is the most familiar form of energy. It is the energy a substance or system
has because of its motion or position (state).
◦ Gravitational Potential Energy
◦ Elastic Potential Energy
◦ Kinetic Energy
2. Details
B. Thermal
◦ energy that comes from heat.
3 methods of transfer
a. Conduction
b. Convection
c. Radiation
2. Details
Chemical
◦ Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds
◦ Exothermic reaction
◦ Examples: batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, coals
New substance is formed after expending all the chemical energy
2. Details
Nuclear energy
◦
◦
◦
◦
Stored in the nucleus of atoms
Two types
Fission – split of atoms (example: nuclear power plants)
Fusion – combining atoms (example: sun)
2. Details
Electrical
◦ Movement of electrons
◦ Require a circuit to transport energy
◦ AC and DC
2. Details
Light
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Electro-magnetic radiation
Cannot be stored
Always in motion
Wave and particle at the same time
Energy in form of photons
2. Details
Sound
◦ Energy is carried in waves
◦ Energy is from a source that causes vibrations in a medium.
◦ Energy in motion
3. Work and Power
Work is the product of force and distance.
Net Force applied in the same direction of motion.
Examples: stretching a bow, raising a ram of a pile driver, push ups.
Power is the rate of work done per unit time.
Unit of work is Joules and unit of power is Watts.
4. Calculating work and power
W = Fd
P = W/t or P = Fd/t
