Study Notes
Describing Energy
- Energy is the ability to cause change
- Energy limits what can happen in any system
- Energy is transferred when work is done
Types of Energy
-
Kinetic Energy: Energy due to motion; depends on mass and speed (KE = 1/2mv²)
- Example: A moving car, a falling object
-
Potential Energy: Stored energy due to position or configuration
-
Gravitational Potential Energy: Stored energy due to an object's height relative to a reference point (GPE = mgh)
- Example: An apple on a tree
-
Elastic Potential Energy: Stored energy in a stretched or compressed object
- Example: A stretched rubber band
-
Chemical Potential Energy: Stored energy in chemical bonds
- Example: Food, gasoline
-
Gravitational Potential Energy: Stored energy due to an object's height relative to a reference point (GPE = mgh)
-
Radiant Energy: Energy that travels as waves
- Example: Sunlight, heat
-
Mechanical Energy: Sum of kinetic and potential energy in a mechanical system
- Example: A pendulum
-
Electrical Energy: Energy related to the movement of electrically charged particles; potential
- Example: In a circuit
-
Thermal Energy: Energy due to the motion of particles in a substance
- Example: Heat from a stove
