Chapter 4 – Energy
4.1 What is Energy? Slide2
I. Essential Question
How are Energy, Work, and Power Related?
What are the two main types of energy? Slide3
II. Key Vocabulary
Energy:
the ability to do work or cause change
Kinetic energy:
the energy of an object in motion
Potential energy:
the energy an object has due to its position or shape Slide4
II. Key Vocabulary
Gravitational potential energy:
PE related to an object’s height
Elastic potential energy:
PE associated with an object that can be compressed or stretched. Slide5
III. Key Concepts
Since energy is similar to work, it can be substituted in the following formula:
Power = Work / time
Power = Energy / time Slide6
III. Key Concepts
The two basic types of energy are kinetic and potential.
Kinetic energy (of motion) depends on an object’s speed and mass.
The faster the object moves, the greater the KE.
The more mass an object has, the greater the KE. Slide7
III. Key Concepts
Kinetic Energy can be found by the following formula:
KE = (1/2)(m)(s
2
)
KE = (0.5)(m)(s
2
)
Notice that speed is squared. This means that if the mass is doubled, KE is doubled. If the speed is doubled, the KE is quadrupled. Slide8
III. Key Concepts
The gravitational PE of an object is equal to the work done to lift the object to that height.
GPE = (weight)(height)
When an object is stretched (like a spring or a rubber band), it has greater elastic potential energy. Slide9
IV. Exploration
Question
: How does mass affect how many times a ball will bounce before stopping?
Hypothesis
: When the mass of the ball (increases, decreases) ____________________ then the number of bounces will (increase, decrease) _________________ because ____________________.
Materials
:
Meter stick
golf ball
Tennis ball
Ping pong ball
Marble
Slide10
IV. Exploration
Procedures:
Have
one member of the group hold the meter stick upright with the zero mark on the table.
Have a second member of the group drop the tennis ball from the top of the meter stick (100cm mark) in such a way that it does not touch the meter stick on the way down.
Have a third member of the group count the number of bounces. The number of bounces should be called out to the fourth member of the group, who should record it in the data table. Repeat for 4 additional trials.
Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 with each of the other balls until all balls have been tested.
On the graphs, label the axis, and plot the average number of bounces for each ball. Slide11

4.2 Forms of Energy
Chapter
4 - EnergySlide14
Essential Question
How can you find an object’s mechanical energy?
What are other forms of energy? Slide15
Key Vocabulary
Mechanical energy:
the form of energy associated with the motion position or shape of an object
Nuclear energy:
type of potential energy; stored in the nucleus of an atom and released during a nuclear reaction.
Thermal energy:
the total kinetic and potential energy of the particles in an object. Slide16
Key Vocabulary
Electrical energy:
the energy of electric charges.
Electromagnetic energy:
a form of energy that ravels through space in waves.
Chemical energy:
potential energy stored in chemical bonds. Slide17
Key Concepts
ME (mechanical energy) is a combination of KE and PE.
It can be calculated by adding the two together;
ME = KE + PE
Objects with ME can do work.
The more ME an object has, the more work it can do. Slide18
Key Concepts
All objects are made of atoms and all atoms have a nucleus.
Nuclear fission
occurs when a nucleus is split.
Nuclear plants use this to create electricity
Nuclear fusion
occurs when multiple nuclei join together. Slide19
Key ConceptsSlide20
Key Concepts
The higher the temperature of an object, the greater its thermal energy.
T
he faster the particles move, the more KE they have, and the greater their thermal temp. Slide21
Key Concepts
If electricity is moving, like lightning, then it is KE; if it is still, like static electricity, then it is PE. Slide22
Key Concepts
Chemical bonds exist in food particles; they hold atoms together.
When
chem
bonds are broken, energy is released. Slide23
4.3 Energy Transformations and Conservation
Chapter
4 - EnergySlide24
Essential Question
How are different forms of energy related?
What is the law of conservation of energy? Slide25
Key Vocabulary
Energy transformation:
a change from one form of energy to another.
Law of conservation of energy:
when one form of energy is transformed into another, no energy is lost in the process; energy cannot be created or destroyed. Slide26
Key Concepts
All forms of energy can be transformed into other forms of energy.
Single transformation examples:
Electrical energy turned into thermal energy to toast bread
Chemical energy transformed into ATP (usable energy) in muscles Slide27
Key Concepts
Multiple transformation example:
Lighting a match takes several transformations; it involves ME, thermal energy, chemical energy, and electromagnetic energy that we can see. Slide28
Key Concepts
KE and PE transformations:
Bouncing a ball – when the ball hits the ground and reaches the top of its bounce it has PE; when it is falling down and bouncing up it is gaining KE.
Pendulum – at the top of its swing on either side is when the object has its greatest PE; at the middle of its swing is when it has its greatest KE. Slide29
Key Concepts Slide30
Key Concepts
The total amount of energy is the same before and after any transformation.
Whenever friction/air resistance is present, some KE is changed into thermal energy.
Remember…machines cannot be 100% efficient because of friction; work and energy are equivalent.
