Motion, Force & Energy Chapter 5.1
Pages 140-145
• EnergyEnergy is the ability to do Work or cause a change–Measured in Joules, like Work
• Kinetic Energy is Kinetic Energy is the energy of the energy of motionmotion
• All moving objects have Kinetic Energy (KE )
• What determines an object’s KE?– MassMass & VelocityVelocity
determine the KE of an object.
• Potential EnergyPotential Energy (PE ) is stored energyis stored energy– It has the potential or
“possibility” to do work
• Gravitational PEGravitational PE is energy that depends on height
• Elastic PEElastic PE is for objects that can be stretched.
Mechanical EnergyMechanical Energy• Energy associated with Energy associated with
motion (KE & PE)motion (KE & PE)
Thermal Thermal EnergyEnergy• Energy of particles in an objectEnergy of particles in an object
Chemical EnergyChemical Energy• Energy stored in chemical bondsEnergy stored in chemical bonds
Electrical EnergyElectrical Energy•Moving electric chargesMoving electric charges
Electromagnetic EnergyElectromagnetic Energy•Waves of energy, such as lightWaves of energy, such as light
Nuclear EnergyNuclear Energy•The fusion or fission of The fusion or fission of atomsatoms
