Unit 5 – Lecture 2
Review: PE & KE
Potential Energy – “stored” E
Kinetic Energy – energy of motion / “released” E
Conservation of Energy
Law of Conservation of Energy:
energy can neither be
created nor destroyed in
normal reactions
energy can be changed in
form from one to another
initial energy = final energy
energy in = energy out
aka 1st law of thermodynamics
Mechanical Energy
Mechanical E – total amount of PE & KE in a system
as PE decreases, KE increases
as PE increases, KE decreases
what kind of relationship is this…direct or inverse?
Mechanical Energy
Equation:
MEinitial = MEfinal
(PE + KE)initial = (PE + KE)final
(m g h + ½ m v2 )initial = (m g h + ½ m v2 )final
Mechanical Energy
ME in a pendulum:
Practice
At which point…
is GPE at a maximum?
why?
is KE at a maximum?
why?
Practice
Which of these describes E? [any]
Ability to do work
Ability to cause change
Ability to increase energy
Ability to decrease work
Joules is NOT a unit for which of these?
PE
KE
Force
Work
Forms of Energy
Mechanical Energy
energy of an object due to
its motion [kinetic E] or position [potential E]
Forms of Energy
Electromagnetic E
waves of mostly invisible E
light energy often
is converted into thermal E
can be converted into
chemical E through
photosynthesis
Forms of Energy
Chemical E
stored and released in the bonds between atoms
food, batteries
Forms of Energy
Nuclear E
stored and released from the nucleus of an atom
Forms of Energy
Thermal E
heat in all its
forms and flows
recall –
exothermic
& endothermic
transferred
through
conduction,
convection, &
radiation
Forms of Energy
Electrical E
separation and movement of electrons
[not really a form of E
on its own – it is a
combination of forms
of Mechanical and
Electromagnetic E]
Practice
When you are watching tv, what energy conversions
are taking place?
Which energy transformation takes place when a
match is struck against the side of a matchbox and
bursts into flames?
What causes you to hear something? What kind of
energy is sound?
