WHAT IS ENERGY?
• Energy is the ability to do work.
• Everything that happens in the world uses
energy!
• Most of the time we can’t see energy, but it is
everywhere around us!
ENERGY
IS NEVER CREATED CAN ONLY BE
STORED OR
01 NOR DESTROYED 02 TRANSFERRED
batteries store energy This car uses a lot of energy
All Energy
Kinetic Energy
POTENTIAL ENERGY IS
The energy stored in an
object.
• “ Potential” simply means the
energy has the ability to do
something useful later on
POTENTIAL ENERGY FORMULA
P.Eg= m g h
• P.Eg = Potential energy (J)
•m = mass (kg)
•g = gravity (m/s^2)
•h = height (m)
FORMULA:
● Gravitational PE: P.Eg = mgh
● Elastic PE : U = 1/2 kx^2
where,
U = elastic energy
k = spring constant
Delta x= change in position
● Chemical PE :
Examples of Potential Energy
a stretch rubber band
A drawn Bow
and Arrow
water at the top of a waterfall
2.
The more mass on object has, the
more potential energy it has.
Potential energy converted to Kinetic energy
where,
m= mass (kg)
v= velocity (m/s)
KE= Kinetic energy (J)
Examples of kinetic energy
The faster the object
moves, the more kinetic
energy is produced.
Kinetic energy is a form of energy possessed Potenial energy is the stored form of energy
by an object due to its motion due to its position.
It can be transferred from one body to It cannot be transferred from one body to
another. another body since the body possessing it is
This transfer process happens during the time in a rest position.
of collision between two objects in motion.
It is a relative form of energy. It is a non-relative form of energy
The factors affecting kinetic energy are Speed The affecting factors are height/distance and
or velocity, and mass. mass.
The formula for kinetic energy is K.E = 1/2 The formula of Potential energy is
mv^2 P.E = mgh
The external environment impacts the amount The external environment does not affect the
of kinetic energy the object will gain. amount of potential energy the object will
possess.
Kinetic energy example- Flowing water Potential energy example- water present at
the top of a hill.
