Chapter 13 Energy & Power
How is energy
important to us?
Energy



The ability to do work or
cause change is called
energy.
Works is the transfer of
energy.
Two types of energy:
–
–
Kinetic energy is energy
of motion.
Potential energy is energy
of position or shape.
Kinetic Energy



Kinetic energy = mass x
(velocity)2/2
Doubling the mass, doubles
the kinetic energy.
Double the velocity, quadruple
the kinetic energy.
Potential Energy




Elastic potential energy is
energy stored when an object
is stretched or compressed.
Gravitational potential energy
is energy stored because of
the height of the object’s
position.
Gravitational potential energy
= weight x height.
Energy is measured in units
called Joules.
Forms of Energy



Mechanical energy is the
energy associated with the
motion or position of an
object.
Thermal energy is the total
energy of the particles in an
object.
Chemical energy is the
potential energy stored in
chemical bonds that hold
chemical compounds
together.
Forms of Energy



Electrical energy is moving
electric charges produce
electricity and energy.
Electromagnetic energy
travels in waves and have
both electrical & magnetic
properties.
Nuclear energy is energy
stored in the nucleus of an
atom and is released during
nuclear reactions.

Energy Conversion and Conservation



A change from one form of
energy to another is called
energy conversion.
Most forms of energy can be
converted into any other
form.
What is the energy
conversion of the flashlight
in the diagram on the right?
Energy Conversion

What is the energy
conversion for the fan
in the diagram on the
right?
Conservation of Energy


Law of conservation of
energy states that when
one form of energy is
converted to another,
no energy is destroyed
in the process.
According to the law of
conservation of energy,
energy cannot be
created or destroyed.
Fossil Fuels




Fossil fuels are formed
from the burying of plants
and animals.
Include coal, petroleum and
natural gas.
Fossil fuels contain energy
that came from the sun.
Fossil fuels can be burned
to release the potential
chemical energy stored
millions of years ago.
Power


Power is the rate at which
work is done or the amount
of work done in a unit of
time.
Power is calculated by
dividing the amount of work
done by the amount of time
taken to do work.
– Power = work/time
– Power = force x
distance/time
– Power is measured in
watts.
Power (continue)


Power is the rate at which
energy is transferred form
one object to another or
converted from one form to
another.
One horsepower is equal to
746 watts.
Pendulum Lab

period of the swing of a
pendulum.

Procedure:
Tie a weight to the end of a string.
Attached the other end of the string to the ring
stand.
Pull the weight back a standard distance and
release the weight.
Time how long it takes for ten cycles of the
pendulum. Enter this data on the data table.
