HEAT ENERGY

Heat energy is the energy associated with the motion of particles in a substance.

When there is a lot of heat energy, the particles move fast and there is high temperature

When there is little heat energy, the particles move slower and there is low temperature

HEAT LAW: DURING A TRANSFER, HEAT ALWAYS MOVE FROM WARMER OBJECT TO COLDER OBJECT

SOURCES OF HEAT ENERGY: Sun, burning material, electricity

SOLAR ENERGY

Energy from the SunProvides heat and light energy for

EarthPlants use solar energy for

photosynthesis to make a sugar (their food)

Provides almost all of the energy that we use on Earth

Source of solar energy -- Sun

CHEMICAL ENERGY

Energy that is stored in particles of matterChemical energy can released when these

particles react to form new substances

Source of chemical energy: Sun

ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Energy flowing in an electric circuit

SOURCES: Batteries, solar energy in solar cells, fuels, hydroelectric energy in generators

2 TYPES OF MECHANICAL ENERGY

Mechanical Potential – stored energy due to position of object

Stretched rubber band & height of object are examplesWater behind a dam has stored potential energy

Mechanical Kinetic – energy of motion

Faster an object, more kinetic energy

Slower the object, less kinetic energy
