Work, Power, and Energy

What is energy?
ENERGY is the ability to make things move or change





Measured in Joules (J)

Kinetic Energy





KINETIC ENERGY is the energy of motion
It is a SCALAR quantity – it does not have direction Depends on mass and speed

Kinetic Energy


Formula:

KE = ½mv

2

mass (in velocity (in kg) 1 Joule = kg m/s)
• m2/s2

Kinetic Energy


The bird has a mass of 2 kg. It is flying at a speed of 5 m/s. Find its
KE
= ? energy. kinetic m = 2 kg v = 5 m/s
KE = ½mv2
KE = ½(2 kg)(5 m/s)2
= 25 J

•Define and solve for Potential energy

Launch: What is the kinetic energy of a
1 kg baseball traveling at a speed of
10 m/s?




What is the unit for energy?
What are the two kinds of energy of motion? What does kinetic mean?
What does KE depend on?

KE ~ Square of the speed


The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed.






That means that for a twofold increase in speed, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.
How would a threefold increase in speed afect the kinetic energy?
What would a graph of KE as a function of speed look like?

Potential Energy






An object with POTENTIAL ENERGY has the ability (or potential) to move or change
Sometimes called “energy of position” or
“stored energy”
There are 3 types of potential energy:




Gravitational Potential Energy
Elastic Potential Energy
Chemical Potential Energy

Gravitational Potential Energy




Potential Energy due to an object’s position Formula:

PE = mgh

height (in mass (in meters) kg) acceleration of gravity (9.8
2

Gravitational Potential Energy
If your egg drop device has a mass of 2 kg, how much potential energy does it hold at a height of 10 meters?
PE =
PE = ? mgh PE =
(2 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(10 m) = m = 2 kg
196 J g = 9.8 m/s2 h = 10 m


Gravitational Potential Energy
•The person has more potential energy at the top of the stairs than at the bottom.

Gravitational Potential Energy
Where does the egg have more potential energy? Why?

Elastic Potential Energy


Potential energy due compression or expansion of an elastic object

Chemical Potential Energy


Potential energy stored within the chemical bonds of an object

By the end of the day today, IWBAT…
•Introduce Conservation of Energy (COE) and use COE to solve for KE and PE
What is the total energy of a 5 kg toy car traveling 4 m/s on top of a table that is 1 m of the ground?
(use 10 m/s2 for g)
