TYPES OF ENERGY

Energy• Ability to do work

• Can not be created or destroyed

• Can be transformed from one form to another

Potential Energy• Stored energy

• Has the potential to move

• Stretched out rubber band

Kinetic Energy • Due to its motion

• Releasing the rubber band

What is Mechanical Energy?

o Energy due to a object’s motion

(kinetic) or position (potential).

The bowling ball has mechanical energy.

When the ball strikes the pins, mechanical energy is transferred

to the pins!

Examples of Mechanical Energy

Light Energy• Energy that is made of electro-

magnetic radiation and travels in a straight path.

What is Thermal Energy?o Heat energy

o Measured by heat

o The heat energy of an object determines how

active its molecules are.

A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid

movement.

A cooler object's molecules and atoms will show less

movement.

Solar EnergyEnergy from the Sun

Solar Panels

What is Electrical Energy?o Energy flowing

through an electric circuit

o Energy caused by the movement of electrons

o Easily transported through power lines and converted into

other forms of energy

Sound energy • Energy in which you can hear and

that travels in vibrating waves through the air. It's the energy present in a sound wave.

QUIZ TIME!Electrical energy is transported to your house through power lines.

When you plug an electric fan to a power outlet, electrical energy is transform into what type of energy?

MECHANICAL ENERGY

What types of energy are shown below?

Mechanical and Thermal Energy(Don’t forget friction)

What types of energy are shown below?

Electrical and Mechanical

What type of energy is shown below?

Thermal Energy

What forms of energy can you identify in this picture?

How is energy being used?

Light energy- used for decoration and lightMechanical energy- used to move the parts of the ridesSound energy- used to produce the music and other sounds we hear

What forms of energy can you identify in this picture?

How is energy being used?

Solar energy- used to create electricity for the home. Solar energy can also be used to heat water for homes.
