Energy
The ability
to do work
Objectives
• Explain the relationship between energy
and work.
• Define potential energy and kinetic energy.
• Calculate Kinetic energy and potential
energy.
• Distinguish between mechanical and
nonmechanical energy
• Identify nonmechanical forms of energy
Energy Types
• Potential Energy
• Kinetic Energy
• Mechanical Energy
• All are measured in
joules, J
• Work is also
measured in J
Potential Energy
• Sometimes called gravitational potential
energy.
• PE = mass x gravity x height
• PE = mgh g = 9.8 m/s2
PE
m g h
Add this to your circle sheet.
Potential Energy problem samples
A. Calculate the PE of a car with mass of
1200 kg at the top of a 42 m high hill.
Ans.: PE=mgh=1200kg(9.8m/s2)(42m)
=490 000 = 4.9 x 105 J, for the car
B. What is the PE of a 65 kg climber on top
of Mount Everest (8800m high)?
Ans.: PE=mgh=65kg(9.8 m/s2)(8800m)
=5 600 000 = 5.6 x 106 J, climber
Kinetic Energy
The energy an object has as a result of its motion.
In the picture at right,
which block has the
greatest kinetic
energy?
Which one has the greatest
potential energy?
Formula for Kinetic Energy
KE = ½ mass x velocity2
KE = ½ mv2
Put these other forms
of the formula at the bottom
of your circle sheet.
• Calculate the kinetic energy of 1500 kg car
moving at 29 m/s and at 42 km/h
KE = ½ mv2
= ½ (1500kg)(29m/s)2
= 6.3 x 105J
42km/h: V = 42km 1000m 1h
= 12m/s
h
1km 3600s
KE = ½ mv2
KE = ½ (1500kg)(12m/s)2 = 1.1 x 105J
• A 39 kg child has 190 joule of kinetic
energy after sledding down a hill. What is
the child’s speed at the bottom of the hill in
m/s?
• V = 2KE
•
m
• V = 2(190 j)
•
39kg
• V = 3.3 m/s
Your assignment is to finish
1, 2, and 3
• But first, add these formulas to the bottom
of your circle sheet for other forms of the
kinetic energy formula:
• V = 2KE
m = 2KE
•
m
v2
Answers to1bc,2,3
1b. KE=1/2mv2 = ½(1500kg)(18m/s)2
= 240000 =2.4 x 105 J
1c. V = 42km 1000m 1h
= 12m/s
h
1km 3600s
KE = ½ (1500kg)(12m/s)2 = 1.1 x 105J
• #2
• V = 2KE = 2(190J)
•
m
35kg
= 3.3m/s
• #3. m = 2KE = 2(16J) = 8.0 kg
•
v2 (2.0 m/s)2
Mechanical Energy
• The sum of potential energy and the
kinetic energy in a system.
• Like a pendulum. Potential energy
changes to kinetic energy and vice versa
as the pendulum swings back and forth.
• The total mechanical energy for “the
system” remains constant.
Other Forms of Energy Nonmechanical
• Energy at the atomic level that does not
generally affect the motion of an object.
Thermal Energy
The temperature of an object
affects how fast the atoms of the
object move. (Remember the
atomic theory?)
Faster motion greater Kinetic
Energy!!
Chemical Reactions
• When chemical reactions occur, energy
can be released
• Examples: heat from a burning log in the
fireplace or fireworks!
Solar Energy
• Light from the sun sustains life here on
earth.
• The sun gets its energy from nuclear
reactions.
• Light from the sun travels through space
in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Electrical Energy
• Moving electrons through conducting
materials allow machines to do a
tremendous amount of work for us.
• Can you think of any?

7.PE=mgh=93.0kg(9.8m/s2)(550m)=
=500 000 J
8.KE=1/2mv2 = ½(0.02kg)(300m/s)2
=900 J
9.a. PE=mgh=2.5kg)(9.8m/s2)(2.0m)
= 49 J
9.b. KE=1/2mv2=1/2(0.015kg)(3.5m/s)2
= 0.092 = 9.2 x 10-2 J
