Study Notes
- Energy is the ability to do work, resulting from the application of force to an object
- Energy comes in two forms: potential and kinetic
- Potential energy is stored energy in an object due to its position or state, such as in a slingshot or a battery
- Forms of potential energy include chemical, elastic, nuclear, and gravitational
- Chemical energy is stored energy in the bonds of atoms and molecules, like in a battery
- Elastic energy is stored as a result of an object's deformation, like a stretched spring or rubber band
- Nuclear energy is the potential energy within the nucleus of an atom
- Gravitational energy is the potential energy of an object's position or place, such as a rock on a hill or a curl on a slide
- Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, such as a moving car or windmill
- Forms of kinetic energy include mechanical, thermal, light, electrical, and sound energy
- Mechanical energy is the energy an object has due to its motion or position, the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy
- Electrical energy is caused by moving electrical charges, called electrons
- Thermal energy is energy from vibrating molecules and atoms in a substance due to a temperature rise
- Light energy is radiant electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves
- Sound energy is the movement of energy through a substance in waves.
- The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
- Energy is converted from one form to another, for example, chemical energy from food into mechanical energy, or light energy from the sun into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
