1. What is energy? 2. What are some things you

have tried with your racer that are working well?

3. What are some changes you would like to make to your car?

Chapter 5 Section 1

Energy is the ability to do work Work is the transfer of energy ◦ Force moves an object (in the direction of the force)

Measured in Joules (J)

What are some things that make a job feel like

more work?

Decide whether each of the following is work or not…be able to explain your answers. ◦ Pulling a wheeled suitcase

◦ Carrying a bag of groceries

1. Put your name, date and class period on the back upper left

corner of your blank paper.

One thing that is helpful for understanding when reading informational text is to make a picture of

what you read. Sometimes you do this in your mind, but putting it on paper and explaining to someone else helps you remember the meaning of the text.

Read pages 88, 89 & 116 in your textbook.

Draw a sketch that shows how energy and work are related. (You may use figure 1 on page 116 as an example, but

you must choose a different theme, activity, etc.)

After you draw, explain your sketch to your neighbor.

2. Write a caption for your picture on the front of the page; call your illustration Figure 1 and then explain what the picture

shows in 1 sentence.

3. On the picture, label any area where energy is displayed or

work is being done-(you MUST have at least 2 places

identified)

1. How are energy and work related?

2. Why is picking up a log work while carrying the log is not?

ME = KE + PE

GPE=weight x height

ME= KE + PE

1. What is the difference between GPE and KE?

2. Why do we use mass for KE and weight for GPE?

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

What is GPE of the car?

What is KE of the car?

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

GPE = Wt * Ht = 200 * 5

GPE = 1,000 J

KE = m * v2 / 2 = 20 *02 / 2

KE = 0 J

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

What is the ME for this system?

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

ME = KE + PE

ME = 0J + 1,000J

ME = 1,000J

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

ME = KE + PE

ME = 0J + 1,000J

ME = 1,000J

GPE = 1,000J

KE = 0J

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

What is GPE of the car now?

What is KE of the car now?

Speed = 10 m/s

GPE = 0J

KE = 1,000J

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

Speed = 10 m/s

GPE = Wt * Ht = 200 * 0

GPE = 0 J

KE = m * v2 / 2 = 20 *102 / 2

KE = 1,000 J

What’s happening to the GPE as he rolls

down the hill?

Height decreases

so GPE decreases

What’s happening to the KE as he rolls

down the hill?

Speed increases

so KE increases

If the ME for this system is 1,000J,

what would expect the GPE and KE to

be at the half way point?

ME = 500J + 500J

More KE, less GPE

Almost all KE now

Weight = 200 N

Mass = 20 kg

Heig

ht

= 5

m

Speed = 10 m/s

ME = KE + PE

ME = 1,000J + 0J

ME = 1,000J

Wait a minute, Mrs. Lock! When

we tested this in the lab, the KE

at the bottom was LESS than the

GPE at the top. WHY???

Where did the energy go?

GPE = 0J

KE = 1,000J 850J

Some energy was changed into

heat and sound as the car

wheels rubbed against the ramp.

GPE = 0J

KE = 1,000J 850J

ME = KE + PE + friction!
