Life Science Review Monday Wrap-up and Final Review KINETIC AND POTENTIAL Energy KINETIC ENERGY the energy of an object that is due to the object's motion ENERGY OF MOTION In tennis, energy is transferred from the racket to the ball. As it flies over the net, the ball has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. All moving objects have kinetic energy. Like all forms of energy, kinetic energy can be used to do work. For example, kinetic energy allows a hammer to do work on a nail. Figure 2 When you swing a hammer, you give it kinetic energy, which does work on the nail. KINETIC ENERGY DEPENDS ON: MASS AND SPEED An object’s kinetic energy can be found by the following equation: The m stands for the object’s mass in kilograms. The v stands for the object’s speed. The faster something is moving, the more kinetic energy it has. Also, the greater the mass of a moving object, the greater its kinetic energy is. POTENTIAL ENERGY the energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object ENERGY OF POSITION Not all energy has to do with motion. For example, the stretched bow shown has potential energy. The bow has energy because work has been done to change its shape. The energy of that work is turned into potential energy. The stored potential energy of the bow and string allows them to do work on the arrow when the string is released. GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY When you lift an object, you do work on it. You use a force that is against the force of gravity. When you do this, you transfer energy to the object and give the object gravitational potential energy. Books on a shelf have gravitational potential energy. So does your backpack after you lift it on to your back. The amount of gravitational potential energy that an object has depends on its weight and its height. Calculating Gravitational Potential Energy gravitational potential energy = weight × height Gravitational potential energy is equal to the amount of work done on the object and is expressed in newton-meters (N•m), or joules (J). MECHANICAL ENERGY To describe total energy, you would state their mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the total energy of motion and position of an object. Both potential energy and kinetic energy are kinds of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy can be all potential energy, all kinetic energy, or some of each. You can use the following equation to find mechanical energy: mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY (KINETIC) Thermal Energy Thermal energy is all of the kinetic energy due to random motion of the particles that make up an object. The faster the particles move, the greater their kinetic energy and the greater the object’s thermal energy. Thermal energy also depends on the number of particles. Sound Energy Sound energy is caused by an object’s vibrations. When you stretch a guitar string, the string stores potential energy. When you let the string go, this potential energy is turned into kinetic energy, which makes the string vibrate. Light Energy Light energy is produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles. Like sound vibrations, light vibrations cause energy to be transmitted. OTHER FORMS OF ENERGY (POTENTIAL) Electrical Energy Electrical energy is the energy of moving electrons. The electrical outlets in your home allow you to use electrical energy. Chemical Energy Chemical energy is the energy of a compound that changes as its atoms are rearranged. Chemical energy is a form of potential energy because it depends on the position and arrangement of the atoms in a compound. Food is made of chemical compounds. When compounds such as sugar form, work is done to join the different atoms together. Nuclear Energy There is a form of energy that comes from a tiny amount of matter. It is the energy that comes from changes in the nucleus of an atom. ENERGY CONSERVATION An energy conver sion is a change from one form of energy to another. The mug has gravitational potential energy while it is on the table. As the mug falls, its potential energy changes into kinetic energy. Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy Look at Figure 1. At the instant this picture was taken, the skateboarder on the left side of the picture was hardly moving. How did he get up so high in the air? As you might guess, he was moving at a high speed on his way up the half-pipe. So, he had a lot of kinetic energy. What happened to that energy? His kinetic energy changed into potential energy.
