The Nature of Energy
What is Energy?
 Energy – the ability to do work or cause
change.
 when an object does work on another object, some
of the energy is transferred to that object.
 Energy is measured in Joules
 Joule – a unit of measure equal to one newton-meter
What is work?
 Work – force exerted on an object that causes it
to move
Example: pushing a shopping cart
Two Types of Energy
 Kinetic Energy – energy in motion
 Potential Energy – stored energy
Kinetic Energy
 The more work you do on an object, the more
energy you give the object.
 The greater the mass of a moving object, the
more kinetic energy it has. (Ex. a bowling ball
has more kinetic energy than a golf ball traveling
at the same velocity)
 Kinetic energy increases as velocity increases.
Calculating Kinetic Energy
 Kinetic Energy = Mass x Velocity2
2
Ex. – What is the kinetic energy of a 10kg wagon
moving at 5 m/s?
kinetic energy = 10 x 52 = 10 x 25 = 250
2 2 2
kinetic energy = 125 Joules
Potential Energy
 Energy that is held in readiness and therefore
has potential to do work.
 Ex. A spring compressed in a wind-up toy
 Elastic potential energy – energy stored in a
stretched or compressed object (rubber band)
Potential Energy
 Gravitational potential energy (GPE)–
potential energy that depends on height; an
object lifted.
 Gravitational potential energy = weight x height
 Ex. What is the GPE of a rock that weighs 600 newtons
positioned 20 meters of the ground?
GPE = 600 x 20
GPE = 12,000 Joules
