7. Examples of potentional energy
Stretching a rubber band..
-Stores energy
Water at the top of a waterfall..
-Stores energy
Drawing a Bow…
-Stores energy because of position
9. Examples of Kinetic
Energy
• Shooting a rubber
band.
• Water falling over the
fall.
• Releasing arrow from
the bow.
10. energy conversions
• Energy can not created or destroyed or
removed, it can only be change from one
form to another.
• Changes in the form of energy …are
called energy conversions.
11. Sources of energy
• Biggest source of energy is our
Sun
• Some other sources are
– Coal
– petrol
– Gas
– wind
– Water fall
Nonrenewable Resource
Renewable Resource
12. conclusion
• Energy is ability to do work or cause
change .
• Objects can have energy
by virtue of their motion (K.E)
or
by virtue of their position(P.E).
Some examples of potential energy are.. Stretching a rubber band… this store energy because it has the ability of doing work.
Water at the stop of the fall has the ability of falling, therefore it stores energy.
A Yo Yo held in your hand stores energy because when you alter its position it now has the ability of doing work.
A bow and arrow has stored energy because its position has changed and it now has the capability of shooting the arrow.
Using the same examples as potential energy, you can see how the same object that previously had PE now has KE. If the rubber band we were stretching to give it PE, were to be let go, it would now have KE because its now in motion.
Same with the water in the waterfall, when it falls over, its now in motion.
The Yo-Yo and the arrow from the bow are also moving, giving all these objects KE.
