Study Notes
Energy
- Energy is the ability to cause change.
- The availability of energy limits what occurs in a system.
- Energy is transferred when work is done.
- Energy is measured in joules (J).
Different Forms of Energy
- Mechanical energy: Energy from motion or position of objects. (e.g., a moving tennis racket).
- Electrical energy: Energy from the flow of electrons. (e.g., a lightbulb).
- Chemical energy: Energy stored in chemical bonds. (e.g., food, gasoline).
- Radiant energy: Energy that travels in waves (e.g., sunlight).
Kinetic Energy
- Energy of motion.
- Equation: KE = ½mv²
- KE = kinetic energy
- m = mass
- v = velocity
Potential Energy
- Stored energy due to position or configuration. (e.g., a book on a table).
- Gravitational potential energy: Energy related to an object's height and Earth's gravity.
- Equation: GPE = mgh
- GPE = gravitational potential energy
- m = mass
- g = acceleration due to gravity (approx. 9.8 N/kg)
- h = height
- Equation: GPE = mgh
- Elastic potential energy: Energy stored in stretched or compressed objects. (e.g., a stretched rubber band)
