ENERGY

What is Energy

Energy is the ability to cause change.Change in ANYTHING

There are two general types of energyKinetic energyPotential energy

Kinetic Energy

Kinetic Energy is energy of an object due to motion

The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass and speed

As mass and speed increase so does kinetic energy

Potential Energy

Potential Energy is the energy that an object has due to its position, condition, or chemical composition.Gravitational potential energy- a ball on a hillCondition- stretching a rubber bandChemical- depends on the chemical bonds

○ As bonds break and new bonds form between atoms, energy can be absorbed or released

An object can have kinetic and potential energy at the same time.

When a punter punts the ball it is flying through the air with kinetic energy. As it goes up and down there is a change in gravitational potential energy.

Shape Shifting Energy Energy takes many different forms Mechanical Energy

The sum of an objects kinetic and potential energy.

Sound EnergyKinetic energy caused by the vibration of particles

in a medium Electromagnetic Energy

Energy transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves

Visible light, x-rays, microwaves

Shape Shifting Energy Electrical Energy

Energy that results from the position or motion of charged particles

Chemical Energy Potential energy due to the arrangement of atoms in a molecule

Thermal Energy Kinetic energy of particles The faster particles move and the more particles there are, the

higher the thermal energy Heat is transferred from an object at a higher temperature to an

object at a lower temperature Nuclear Energy

Energy that comes from the breaking apart of a nucleus of an atom

Transformers

Energy can change from one form to anotherOften times its changes into multiple formsEx. Fireworks, food

Law of Conservation of Energy

Just like mass, energy cannot be created or destroyed
