Intro to Energy and Kinetic Energy that it to its motion applied to object causes change Work : force is an When ↳ Effort push/force pull Energy : movement/ability to do work ↑ ↳ Need energy to be able to change ↳ Capacity to be able to change an objects motion In physics that if you have done ENERGY is transferred to another object or changed into something different , we say work , do work which that it Energy is the ability to means can more object over distance - an a - Energy has no mass or volume lie.

It is always 9 8. m/s(on Earth) - h is the height in m - He is the potential energy in J Conversion of Units meters height: cm = 0 am. km = 1 , 000m Mass : Kilograms gram = 0. 001 kg milligram = 0. 000001 kg Types of Energy #attaI Refinition and Example I -o Mechanical The energy of motion of objects that are larger than atoms or molecules ex. any object that is moving has mechanical energy waves that travel orradiate from Radiant The energy of electromagnetic an energy source. Ex. Lightbulbs /radiate or radiation, visable light , and infrared radiation. EX. the sun radiates the entire electromagnetic spectrum (solar energy) - energy known as "heat energy" ; energy from the movement of particles within a substance , related to its tempature. E. boiling water gains thermal energy from the store , causing its molecules to more faster Energy other conductor load electrical of electrons moving along a wire or. Ex.

It is also transforms into sound which "lost" into and thermal energy are the surroundings. Example : Energy Transformation in a Pendulum end which is free to swing At the start top of the Swing the has kinetic energy (it is not A pendulum is a mass on the of a string. , mass no moving) but has potential energy lequal to its mass and height) acceration due to As it falls , the PE of the mass is transformed into kinetic energy as the pendulum gains speed due to the gravity upwards again , the KE of the mass is transformed back into At as the mass slows down and gains height back to the top of the swing As it swings => eating A To a falling parachute a TV Solving solve catapult food set law of conservation law of of energy problems conservation , always start with the formula of energy problems below than use the question to identify which have value and which energies to Then isolate for the needed variable energies a are set zero. Formula: KEinital + PEinital = Keinal + Pral Energy Chains and called energy chains Energy transformations can happen one after another , are Ex chemical potential energy > electrical energy > heat energy + light energy flashlight - A - : -.
