Chapter 15Section 1.5

Mechanical Energy Mechanical energy is energy associated

with the POSTION and MOTION. Mechanical energy is a COMBINATION of

the objects potential and kinetic energy.

Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy

See pg. 448

Other Forms of Energy Forms of energy associated with the

PARTICLES of objects. Too small to see

Thermal Energy Thermal energy is the total potential and

kinetic energy of the PARTICLES in an object. Lava Ice cream

Electrical Energy Electrical energy is the energy of electric

charges. Lightning Batteries Electrical lines

Chemical Energy Chemical energy is the potential energy

stored in the chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together. Food Matches Cells of your body

Nuclear Energy Nuclear energy is potential energy stored in the

nucleus of an atom and is released in a nuclear reaction. Nuclear fission – when a nucleus splits

used by nuclear power plants to produce electricity. Nuclear fusion – when nuclei of atoms fuse or join

together. Occur continuously in the sun, releasing tremendous

amounts of energy.

Nuclear Fission

Nuclear Fusion

Electromagnetic Energy Travels in waves Have some electrical properties and some

magnetic properties. Sunlight is a form of this wave. Microwaves, ultraviolet radiation, infrared

radiation, and radio waves are also examples.
