Study Notes
Types of Energy
- Kinetic Energy: Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
- Potential Energy: Energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
Kinetic Energy Examples
- A rubber band released from your finger demonstrates kinetic energy as it zings through the air.
- Moving a skateboard involves kinetic energy as the board is propelled forward.
- A basketball passing through the hoop illustrates kinetic energy during its movement toward the goal.
- Blowing wind consists of kinetic energy as it moves air around.
- Climbing a ladder showcases kinetic energy due to the motion of a person ascending.
- A lawn mower cutting grass represents kinetic energy through its operation.
- Sound produced by speakers exemplifies kinetic energy as sound waves travel through air.
- Someone diving into a pool shows kinetic energy during the act of entering the water.
- A waterfall demonstrates kinetic energy as the water cascades down.
- Light emitted from a lamp is a form of kinetic energy in the form of radiant light.
- Strumming a guitar involves kinetic energy as the strings vibrate to produce sound.
Potential Energy Examples
- When a rubber band is stretched and held, it contains potential energy ready to be released.
- A rock at the edge of a cliff has significant potential energy due to its elevated position.
- A glass of milk contains potential energy in a stationary state.
- Gasoline holds potential energy as a stored fuel source.
- An acorn hanging from an oak tree exhibits potential energy in its suspended position.
- Stored energy in various forms can exist in objects waiting to be converted into kinetic energy.
- Potential energy reflects energy attributed to an object's position, especially height above ground.
- A car positioned at the top of a hill possesses potential energy due to gravitational effects.
- A roller coaster at the top of a loop holds considerable potential energy before descending.
- Water impounded behind a dam contains potential energy, which can be converted to kinetic energy when released.
- Coal represents a form of potential energy as a fossil fuel waiting to be burned for energy.
