Forms of Energy
4/11/16
Talk to your group and make a list of all the types of energy that you can think of.
Types of Energy
• Chemical
• Mechanical
• Electrical
• Magnetic
Mechanical
Energy of motion and position
• Kinetic – energy of motion
• Potential – energy of position
»potential to move
Lab Info
Gravitational Potential Energy Ug
mgy
m = mass (in kilograms)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2)
y = height
Taylor has a mass of 75kg and climbs up on a desk 1 m off the floor. What is his gravitational potential energy with respect to the floor?
Ug = 75 kg 9.8 m/s2 1 m = 735 J

Power
P = energy/unit time
Let’s say it took Taylor 1.5 seconds to get up on that desk. How much power did he exert?
P = 735 J/ 1.5s = 490 W

Electromagnetic waves Here’s another representation of Electromagnetic waves. This one shows you examples of the size of the different waves and at what temperature an object must be to emit these waves.
