What do you think of when you hear the word

ENERGY? (make a list of words that makes you think of energy)

• Food• Movement• Doing things• Working• Sunlight

Where do they get the energy to go down the hill?

Essential Question:Why is energy so important to us?

Energy

EVERYDAY ENERGY?What types of energy do you encounter everyday?

How does energy get from one place to another?It will either transform or transfer.

So what is ENERGY?!?!

Energy is NOT matter and is actually very difficult to define...Textbooks define it as …“The ability to do work”We will define it by providing examples of energy and the effects it has on objects.

There are many different types of energy…

Types of EnergyWe have already talked about many different types of energy.

ALL energy can be classified as either Potential Energy or Kinetic Energy.

Gravitational POTENTIAL Energy (GPE)

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is the stored energy of an object resulting from the object’s position in a system.

GPE relies on the height of the object in the system…the higher the object the more GPE it has.

If you add GPE to KE + heat you get

Total Energy (TE) TE= GPE + KE + heat

Kinetic Energy (KE)

Kinetic Energy (KE) - the energy of motion. The energy associated with moving objects is called kinetic energy (KE), and is often referred to as the most fundamental form of energy.

The size of the KE is determined by an object’s speed and its mass.

Review of

Energy Forms

Kinetic Energy (KE) - the energy of motion. The energy associated with moving objects is called kinetic energy (KE), and is often referred to as the most fundamental form of energy. The size of the KE is determined by an object’s speed and its mass. A moving baseball has kinetic energy. If you have ever been hit by a pitched ball, you are aware of the energy a moving object can have.

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) - the stored energy of position. This is energy that an object possesses due to its position. The size of the GPE is determined by the object’s mass and its height above the ground. A person climbing a ladder increases her height above the ground, she increases her GPE.

Mechanical Energy

Heat Energy (HE) or Thermal Energy -is the random kinetic energy of particles. Heat energy is the random, and very disorganized, kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The thermal energy of an object consists of the total kinetic energy of all its atoms and molecules. It is a form of energy related to heat and temperature. Thermal energy can be created internally with chemical, nuclear and electrical reactions. It can also be created or increased from external effects, such as mechanical motion, radiation and thermal conduction.

Chemical Energy (CE) - The energy held in the covalent bonds between atoms in a molecule is called chemical energy. Every bond has a certain amount of energy. To break the bond requires energy, it is called endothermic (energy is absorbed). These broken bonds then join together to create new molecules, and in the process release heat, chemists call this exothermic (energy is released). . If the total heat given out is more than the heat taken in then the whole reaction is called exothermic, and the chemicals get hot.

Nuclear PowerNuclear Power- Nuclear

powerplants split the nuclei ofuranium atoms in a processcalled fission. The sun combines the nuclei

ofhydrogen atoms in a processcalled fusion. Scientists are working on creating fusion energy onearth, so that someday theremight be fusion power

plants.

Salem Nuclear Power Plant

Chemical Energy vs. Nuclear Energy

Chemical Energy• It is the energy that holds

electrons together that move around the nucleus.

• Happens in the Electron Cloud

• The energy can be released when the bonds are broken.

• Small Amount of Energy released

• Examples Digestion, burning fossil fuels

Nuclear Energy • It is the energy stored

in the nucleus of an atom.

• Happens in the Nucleus

• The energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart.

• Large amount of Energy released

• Examples Sun,x-rays, Nuclear Power

Electromagnetic Energy –Electromagnetic energy is the energy that comes from electromagnetic radiation. This radiation is composed of waves, such as radio waves and visible light, that move at the speed of light in a way that is suggestive of both waves and particles. Electromagnetic radiation causes both electric and magnetic fields. Only a small part of the electromagnetic field is visible; this part of the electromagnetic spectrum is known as the visible spectrum.

Sound Energy-Sound energy is the energy produced by sound vibrations as they travel through a specific medium. Sound vibrations cause waves of pressure which lead to some level of compression and rarefaction in the mediums through which the sound waves travel. Sound energy is, therefore, a form of mechanical energy; it is not contained in small particles and it is not related to any chemical change, but is purely related to the pressure its vibrations cause. Sound energy is typically not used for electrical power or for other human energy needs because the amount of energy that can be gained from sound is quite small.

Elastic Potential Energy (EPE) -

Elastic potential energy is the potential energy of an elastic object (like a bow or a spring) that is deformed under tension or compression (often termed under the word stress by physicists). It happens as a result of a force that tries to restore the object to its original shape, which is most often the electromagnetic force between the atoms and molecules that make up the object. If the stretch is released, it is transformed into mechanical energy.

What’s the Difference between energy transfer and energy

transformation?

Energy transfer is when the same energy is transferred to another object.When you kick a soccer ball down the field with your moving leg!

Energy transformation is when one energy type changes into another type of energy.A rollercoaster that is stopped on top of the hill rolls down the track.

Types of Energy

TRANSFER

Energy TRANSFER:

Energy transfer - is how the same type of energy is passed from one object to another object.

There are only THREE ways that energy can be transferred between objects…

Energy TRANSFER:

Method 1: Conduction

The transfer of energy through matter by direct contact of particles.

Examples: a pot on a stove, a metal spoon in a bowl of hot soup.

Energy TRANSFER:Method 2: Convection

The transfer of energy by the movement of gases or liquids. (fluid movement only!!!)

Hot fluids will rise while cold fluids will sink… this creates a swirling motion.

Examples: Hurricanes, pasta or rice swirling in boiling water, a hot air balloon.

Energy TRANSFER:

Method : Radiation

The transfer of energy in the form of a wave. (mechanical or electromagnetic waves)

Examples: How Earth gets it’s energy from the sun, a microwave oven cooking food, sound.

Energy in Systems Energy can move from place to place

or change from one type to another…

Energy transformation – is changing from one type of energy into a different type of energy.

Energy transfer - is how the same type of energy is passed from one object to another object.

ball to put the ball in motion. The balls energy was transformed from GPE to KE.

Skateboard• KE Energy was transferred from the

bowling ball to the skateboard. The skateboards energy was transformed from GPE to KE.

Is there any friction here? If so, where?

Dropping Golf Balls ...

You will drop a golf ball and a fuzzy ball from four different heights (25cm, 50cm, 75 cm and 100cm) looking for evidence of energy by a change that is produced by each one.

Let’s Investigate Each person has received a lab paper with 7

Questions and a set of directions from A-D. Work together on this lab!

You must do these in order… so if some Questions come first, answer the question BEFORE going on to the direction steps!!! Answer the questions on your lab paper and review your data table. You may discuss the answers and data as a group, but DO NOT copy answers from other groups…write your own!

*Helpful Tips*• Don’t drop the ball next to the meter stick.• Don’t let the ball hit the bottom of pan…redo the

drop.• Have enough sand to drop the ball into.

Data Table1. One column is for

the golf ball and one column is for the fuzzy ball.

2. Use little ruler to measure the width of the crater in cm.

3. Then Use the ruler to smooth the sand.

4. Record your answers.

5. Clean up when you are finished! Answer post lab questions.*

Investigation Results1.) The golf ball does not have any KE

since it is not moving. It does not have the ability to move on its own due to its position (sitting in the sand) so it does not have any GPE. If KE = 0J and GPE = 0J then ME is also 0J!!!

2.) The golf ball now has GPE b/c it is above the ground… it now has a height of 25cm!!! It does not have KE though since it is not moving.

Investigation Results

3.) The golf ball got its energy from the person who picked it up and moved it to a height!!! The person TRANSFERRED energy to the ball from themselves when they lifted it!!!

This energy came from the person’s muscles. The muscles got their energy from the food you ate.

Tracing this flow of energy is called an ENERGY CHAIN.

Investigation Results

4.) The ball dropped from the highest point = 100cm caused the biggest crater.

5.) The variable that changed here was the MASS of the ball. Everything else remained constant (stayed the same).

The craters produced by the hollow ball w/ less mass were smaller.

Mass affects GPE and KE!!!

Investigation Results

6.) Both of the balls hit the sand at the same speed!!! (In other words, they fall at the same time!!!)…Watch I’ll show you…

The difference between the two balls is the amount of energy!!! The more massive ball possesses more energy!!!

Investigation Results

7.) The big point you should have concluded is that MASS affects both GPE and KE.

You should have also concluded that the higher the release point, the faster the ball will be traveling when it hits the sand. Gravity speeds up ALL falling objects at the same rate (9.8 m/s2).

The greater the speed of the object when it hits the sand, the greater the KE.

Revisiting the Golf ball Lab

Where did the golf ball get it’s initial(beginning) energy to even move at all?

From the person who initially move the ball.

Where did “they” get the energy from?They got the energy from the food they

ate that day.What kind of energy is that called?

Chemical energy

Revisiting the Golf ball Lab

• MASS affects both GPE and KE.

• The higher the release point, the faster the ball will be traveling when it hits the sand.

• Gravity speeds up ALL falling objects at the same rate (9.8 m/s2).

• The greater the speed of the object the greater the KE.

Newton’s Laws

The cause of it all…

What causes acceleration (a change in velocity) to occur?

(In other words… what must be applied?)

A FORCE!!!

ForceWhat's a force?

Any push or a pull on an object to put it into motion.

Force can be measured by taking an object’s mass and multiplying it by the acceleration.

F = m*a

(Units for Force are Newtons: N)1Newton= 1kg x m/s2

Units for acceleration are= m/s2

ForceHow would you plug the force equation

into a power triangle??? (F=ma)

ForceRe-arrange the Force equation (F=ma) to solve for mass and acceleration…

ForceThere are several types of forces

acting on this moving box. What are they?

ForceFriction: A force that opposes the motion between two objects in contact with each other.

Q: Is it easier to push something across concrete or ice? (WHY?)

A: Ice b/c there are less frictional forces.

Unbalanced Forces

What would be the NET force (overall force) on the box?

ForceForce problems on

Pg. 270 Practice #(1-3)

Force problems1. What is the net force necessary for a

1.6x103 kg automobile to accelerate forward at 2.0m/s2? F=ma 1.6x103 kg x 2.0m/s2 = 3200 kg x m/s2 or…

3200N

2. A baseball accelerates downward at 9.8 m/s2. If the gravitational force acting on the ball is 1.4N, what is the baseball’s mass?

m= f/a 1.4N so…= 9.8 m/s2

1.4 kg x m/s2 9.8 m/s2

= .142 kg

Force problems3. A sailboat and its crew have a

combined mass of 655kg. If the sailboat experiences an unbalance force of 895N pushing it forward, what is the sailboat’s acceleration?a= f/m 895N so… =

655 kg895 kg x m/s2

655 kg

a =1.36 m/s2

‘Newton’s First LAWLAW 1 (Law of Inertia): An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon an outside force. Inertia: The property of an object to resist changes in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Unbalanced force: A net force that is not equal to zero. Ex. When the car suddenly stops and your body snaps forward.

Newton’s Second LAW

LAW 2: The unbalanced force acting on an object equals the object’s mass times its’ acceleration. To accelerate the mass of an object you must apply a force!

F= m x a Ex. Any time you move an object

Newton’s Third LAW

LAW 3:For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

Ex. Hitting a homerun off of a pitcher in baseball.

Examples of Newton’s Laws

If you are pushing an empty grocery cart with 20N of force… will the grocery cart have the same acceleration if you continue to push it at the same force of 20N when it is full. Which Law and why?A: 2nd law. NO…the acceleration will be less once the cart is full b/c you have added mass, and a = F/m

Examples of Newton’s Laws

What would happen if you were standing on a skateboard and threw a really heavy ball?Which law and why?A 3rd law. : You will go backwards on the skateboard b/c the ball is pushing you with an equal and opposite force the other way. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Examples of Newton’s Laws

If you are riding on the bus and your books are on the seat next to you… if the bus driver stomps on the brakes…where do your books go???Which law and why?A: 1st law. onto the floor… An object in motion stays in motion until acted on by an unbalanced force.

ENERGY

In the golf ball investigation, can we account for all the energy in the system? If we add up all the PE, KE and any friction, will it equal the total energy (TE) in the system?

Yes, scientific evidence leads us to believe that ALL of the energy in any example can be accounted for! But it is not always easy in an open system.

LAW OF CONSERVATION of

ENERGYEnergy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transformed or transferred.

Total Energy is all the energy in a systemThe TOTAL ENERGY (TE) will always stay the same!!!

TE = PE + KE + heat

LAW OF CONSERVATION of

ENERGYThe TOTAL ENERGY of a system can be measured by adding PE + KE + Heat.

TE = KE + PE + heat

Q: Where does the heat come from???

A: Friction!!! (Rub your hands together and see what happens!!!)

LAW OF CONSERVATION of ENERGY

TE will equal the GPE at the highest point in a system!

TE=GPE at the highest point

LAW OF CONSERVATION of ENERGY

Let’s look at the pendulum swing. Will it continue to swing with same amount of energy over time?Why won’t the beginning energy ever equal the end energy???

Hint: Can heat be contained in an open system?

NO… please remember that energy is not destroyed, but some of it can escape from the system to the surroundings in the form of heat from the rope.

LAW OF CONSERVATION of ENERGY

Can any system ever be 100% efficient? Will the beginning energy will ever equal the end energy?NO! There is no such thing as a frictionless system!!!

POTENTIAL energy (PE)

Potential Energy (PE) is the stored energy of an object resulting from the position of the object in a system.

PE is measured by multiplying the mass of the object times the gravity and then times the height.PE = m x g x h remember…(gravity =

9.8m/s2)Units are Joules!!! (J)

1 Joule= 1kg x m2/s2

PE mostly depends on the height in a system!

KINETIC Energy (KE)Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy of any

moving object.

KE depends on the mass and the velocity (speed) of an object. Only ½ of the mass is used, but velocity is squared… so KE depends mostly on the velocity of the object.

KE = ½m * v2

Units are Joules!!! (J)

Solving KE Problems

KE = ½ m * v2

***Remember PEMDAS (order of operations)

1ST Step: Square the v 2nd Step: Take half the mass3rd Step: Multiply 1/2m * v2

Speed vs. Velocity

What’s speed?How fast an object is moving.

Then what is velocity?Velocity is speed with direction!Ex. Traveling 90 mi/hr north bound.

How does the previous investigation

help us to understand how forces transfer energy?

The Transfer of Energy is called WORK

Work measures the effects of a force acting over a distance.

Work = F*d so…Work= energy transferredThe units are N * m = Joules (J)1 Joule= 1kg x m2/s2

(F) * (d) = Work(1kg x m/s2 x m)= 1kg x

m2/s2

WORKQ: If you try to move a lab table with

12,000N of force and it doesn’t move…How much work have you done?

A: NONE!!! Because…W = 0J b/c the distance was 0m and W = 12,000N* 0m = 0J

POWERWhat’s Power?Power = how much work is done in a given amount of

time.

2 people can each bench 100 pounds 10 times. Person one takes 2mins, person 2 takes 1 min.

Who is more powerful?Why?A: It takes them less time to do the same amount of

work!So we need to account for the time it takes to do

work… the equation that measures that is P = W (Units for Power are Joules = Watts) t sec

Think about light bulbs!

Person 2!

Elastic Potential Energy

Elastic Potential energy can be determined from the objects stretch squared and the constant that reflects the elasticity of the material. So what’s this mean in English?

Elastic EPE= 1/2kx2

Elastic PE is measured in Joules(J)

Elastic Potential Energy

Elastic PE= 1/2kx2

K=spring constant N/m

X= amount stretched or compression

Ex:(compressed spring, pulled rubber band)

Elastic Potential Energy ProblemRemember…

Elastic PE= 1/2kx2

The elastic force constant stored in a drawn bow is 100 N/m. The bow is drawn to pull the arrow back a distance of 0.5 meters. Calculate the elastic potential energy stored in the drawn bow.

SAFER Crash Barriers

An excellent application of these concepts is the “soft walls” used by major racing facilities across the nation (Dover International Speedway being one of these). The new SAFER (Steel And Foam Energy Reduction) barriers have revolutionized the sport of automobile racing and made it much safer for both the drivers and the fans.

So how do SAFER barriers absorb energy?* The barriers move upon impact so that the KE of the car is transferred to a very large area of the wall (a large portion of the wall flexes upon impact). The key idea is that no one portion of the wall receives a large amount of the car’s KE. The KE of the flexing soft wall is then transferred to the outer permanent wall and support structure. The materials that make up the wall are not elastic.

Imagine what the collision would be like if the wall was elastic! Still other portions of the car’s initial KE are transformed into heat energy and sound energy.

Scientific NotationThink about the number line:

Scientific NotationWhen you see a number like:3.46 E-4 m Come up on your

calculator…

Here’s what that means…

Scientific Notation3.46 E-4 … The E-4 means x10-4

And here is how you translate that into a number. The exponent (-4) tells you how many times to move the decimal point (4).

And because it is negative (-), to move it left!)

Scientific NotationSo for 3.46 E-4 g

You will move the decimal point 4 times to the left. (negative is to the left on the number line!!!)

= .000346gMake sure you put units on it also! =.000346g

Scientific NotationLet’s practice:

Change 4.86 E3 kg into a regular number…

Need to move the decimal 3 times and to the right because the 3 is positive.

= 4860 and don’t forget units!= 4860 kg

Scientific Notation

YOUR TURN:1.) 9.325 E-2 m2.) 2.1903 E4 kg3.) 7.473 x10-6 g4.) 3.801 x105 cm3

ANSWERS:1.) .09325 m2.) 21903 kg3.) .000007473 g4.) 380100 cm3

When you move the decimal to the left it is negative.

And When you move the decimal to the right it is

positive!
