Please take the notes from the cart, fold it as
a booklet, and place it on pg of your ISN.
What is energy?
Work is done when a force moves an
object a certain distance.
Energy is the ability to do work/cause
change.
Types of Energy
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is energy
due to motion.
Kinetic energy depends
upon the speed and mass
of the object.
Potential Energy
Potential energy is stored
energy due to the
interactions between objects
or particles.
The types of potential energy
you are responsible for
knowing: gravitational,
elastic, and chemical.
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy
Potential Energy
Gravitational
potential energy
depends upon the
object’s weight and
height.
Potential Energy
Elastic potential
energy is stored in
objects that are
compressed or
stretched.
Potential Energy
Chemical potential energy
is energy stored in the
chemical bonds between
atoms.
It is released when
chemical reactions occur.
For the curious
150 kJ
(35kcal)
You may recognize Calories (kcal). Once it was the metric unit for
heat energy.
Calories (with capital C) = kcal (1000 calories with a lower case c)
It’s weird, I know.
Now Joules (J) is the metric unit for energy (of all types).
Potential Energy
Forms of Energy
Using pg 160-167 of the textbook, fill in your Describing Wheel with the
different types of energy.
Include the definitions of each type and at least one example for each.
Mechanical Energy
Gravitational Potential Energy
Elastic Potential Energy
Chemical Potential Energy
Sound Energy
Thermal Energy
Electric Energy
Radiant Energy
Nuclear Energy
When you are done, log on to a laptop and watch the
Brainpop: Forms of Energy video.
