What is energy?
• Energy is the ability to cause a
change.
• Wind, coal, nuclear fuel, Earth’s
interior, and the Sun also are sources
of energy that can be transformed into
other forms of energy, such as
electrical energy.
What is energy? (cont.)
What is energy?
Kinetic Energy
• Kinetic energy is the energy an object
has because it is in motion.
• Anything that is in motion has kinetic
energy, including large objects that you
can see as well as small particles, such
as molecules, ions, atoms, and
electrons.
Kinetic Energy (cont.)
• Electrons move around the nucleus of an
atom, and they can move from one atom
to another.
• When electrons move, they have kinetic
energy and create an electric current.
• The energy that an electric current
carries is a form of kinetic energy called
electric energy.
When the blades of wind turbines rotate,
they turn a generator that changes the
kinetic energy of the moving blades into
electric energy.

Kinetic Energy (cont.)
• Kinetic energy depends on mass.
• If the turbine blades were smaller and
had less mass, they would have less
kinetic energy.
Kinetic Energy (cont.)
• Kinetic energy also depends on speed.
• When the wind blows harder, the blades
move faster and have more kinetic
energy.
Kinetic Energy (cont.)
electric
from Greek electrum, means
“amber”; because electricity was
first generated by rubbing pieces
of amber together
Potential Energy
• Potential energy is stored energy that
depends on the interaction of objects,
particles, or atoms.
• Gravitational potential energy is a type of
potential energy stored in an object due
to its height above Earth’s surface.
Potential Energy (cont.)
• Gravitational potential energy depends
on the mass of an object and its distance
from Earth’s surface.
• The more mass an object has and the
greater its distance from Earth, the
greater its gravitational potential energy.
Hydroelectric energy plants convert the
gravitational potential energy of water into
electric energy.
Potential Energy (cont.)
• Most electric energy in the United States
comes from fossil fuels such as
petroleum, natural gas, and coal.
• The atoms that make up these fossil
fuels are joined by chemical bonds.
• Chemical energy is energy that is
stored in and released from the bonds
between atoms.
When fossil fuels burn, the chemical bonds
between the atoms that make up the fossil
fuel break apart. When this happens,
chemical energy transforms to thermal
energy.
This energy is used to heat water and form
steam. The steam is used to turn a turbine,
which is connected to a generator that
generates electric energy.
Potential Energy (cont.)
• A drawback of fossil fuels is that they
introduce harmful waste products, such
as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, into
the environment.
• Scientists are searching for replacement
fuels that do not harm the environment.
Potential Energy (cont.)
• Chemical energy also is stored in the
foods you eat.
• Your body converts the energy stored in
chemical bonds in food into the kinetic
energy of your moving muscles and into
the electric energy that sends signals
through your nerves to your brain.
Potential Energy (cont.)
• The majority of energy on Earth comes
from the Sun.
• Nuclear fusion, a process found in the
Sun, joins the nuclei of atoms and
releases large amounts of energy.
Nuclear energy plants break apart the
nuclei of certain atoms using a process
called nuclear fission.
Nuclear fission produces a large amount of
energy from just a small amount of fuel.
Potential Energy (cont.)
• Both nuclear fusion and nuclear fission
release nuclear energy—energy stored
in and released from the nucleus of an
atom.
• Nuclear fission produces radioactive
waste that is hazardous and difficult to
dispose of safely.
Kinetic and Potential Energies
Combined
Objects such as wind turbine blades and
particles, such as molecules, ions, atoms,
and electrons, often have kinetic and
potential energies.
Kinetic and Potential Energies
Combined (cont.)
• The sum of potential energy and kinetic
energy in a system of objects is
mechanical energy.
• Mechanical energy is the energy an
object has because of a combination
of the following:
•
the movement of its parts (kinetic energy)
•
the position of its parts (potential energy)
Kinetic and Potential Energies
Combined (cont.)
• Thermal energy is the sum of the kinetic
energy and potential energy of the
particles that make up an object.
• Individual particles vibrate
back and forth in place, giving
them kinetic energy.
• The particles also have potential energy
because of the distance between
particles and the charge of the particles.
Kinetic and Potential Energies
Combined (cont.)
• The particles in Earth’s interior contain
great amounts of thermal energy.
• This energy is called geothermal energy.
Geothermal energy plants turn water into
steam, which turns turbines in electric
generators that covert the geothermal
energy to electric energy.
Energy from Waves
• Waves are disturbances that carry
energy from one place to another.
• Sound energy is energy
carried by sound waves.
• Some animals, such as
bats, emit sound waves
to find prey
CORBIS
Energy from Waves (cont.)
• The kinetic energy of tectonic plate
movement is carried through the
ground by seismic waves.
• Seismic energy is the energy
transferred by waves moving through
the ground.
Seismic energy can destroy buildings and
roads.

Energy from Waves (cont.)
What are the different forms
of energy?
Energy from Waves (cont.)
• Electromagnetic waves are
electric and magnetic waves
that move perpendicular to
each other.
• Some electromagnetic
waves can travel through
solids, liquids, gases, and
vacuums.
Energy from Waves (cont.)
vacuum
Science Use a space that
contains no matter
Common Use to clean with a
vacuum cleaner or sweeper
Energy from Waves (cont.)
• The energy carried by electromagnetic
waves is radiant energy.
• The Sun’s energy is transmitted to Earth
by electromagnetic waves.
Radio waves, light waves, and microwaves
are all electromagnetic waves.
Energy from Waves (cont.)
How is radiant energy used?
• There are different forms of energy,
including solar energy.
• Wind turbines have different kinds of
energy including kinetic, mechanical,
potential, and thermal.
• Nuclear fuel pellets contain potential
energy that is stored in the nuclei of
atoms.

Energy Transformations
and Work
• What is the law of conservation of
energy?
• In what ways can energy be
transformed?
• How are energy and work related?
Energy Transformations
and Work
• energy transformation
• law of conservation of energy
• work
Energy Transformations
• Energy transformation is the
conversion of one form of energy to
another.
• When energy is transferred, the form of
energy does not have to change.
Energy Conservation
• The law of conservation of energy
says that energy can be transformed
from one form to another, but it cannot
be created or destroyed.
• Even though energy can change forms,
the total amount of energy in the
universe does not change. It just
changes form.
Energy Conservation (cont.)
What is the law of conservation
of energy?
When you ride a roller coaster, your
gravitational potential energy is transformed
to kinetic energy and back to gravitational
potential energy.
Energy Conservation (cont.)
• When a plant carries
on photosynthesis, it
transforms radiant
energy from the Sun
into chemical energy.
• The chemical energy is
stored in the bonds of
the plant’s molecules.
Energy Conservation (cont.)
• When electric energy plants burn fossil
fuels, they transform the chemical
energy from the molecules that were
made by plants that lived millions of
years ago.
• That chemical energy is transformed to
the electric energy that you use in your
home and school.
Energy Conservation (cont.)
Identify three energy
transformations that occur
to make electric energy.
Energy and Work
• Work is the transfer of energy that
occurs when a force makes an object
move in the direction of the force while
the force acts on the object.
• Forces are pushes or pulls.

he lifts them. Once the drums are in place,
no work is being done.
Energy and Work (cont.)
If you do work on an object,
how will its energy change?
Energy and Work (cont.)
• To do work on an object, an object must
move in the direction of the force.
• Work is done only while the force is
moving the object.

and distance is in meters.
• The product of newtons and meters is
newton-meter.
• A newton-meter is a joule.

Energy and Heat
• Friction is a force between two surfaces
in contact with each other.
• The direction of friction is in the opposite
direction of the motion.
• In every energy transformation and every
energy transfer, some energy is
transformed into thermal energy.
Energy and Heat (cont.)
• This thermal energy is transferred to the
surroundings.
• Thermal energy moving from a region of
higher temperature to a region of lower
temperature is called heat.

energy because it is not easily used to
do useful work.

is the output work.
• Machines make work easier by changing
the distance the object moves or the
force required to do work on an object.
Machines and Work (cont.)
• When the input distance of a machine is
larger than the output distance, the
output force is larger than the input force.
• Machines also can change the direction
of a force.

Efficiency
Efficiency is the ratio of output work to
input work.
Efficiency (cont.)
• Input and output work are measured in
joules.
• Efficiency is expressed as a percentage
by multiplying the ratio by 100%.
Efficiency (cont.)
• The efficiency of a machine is never
100%—some work is always
transformed into wasted thermal energy
because of friction.
• Lubricating the moving parts of a
machine reduces the friction between the
moving parts so that less input work is
transformed to waste energy.
