Chapter 5 Energy

Energy defined and Work § Energy- is defined as the ability to do work. Work is done when a force causes something to move § https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=x. Bn. S 23 U_ao 4 § Energy can also be defined as the ability to cause change. § Energy moves from place to place and changes forms. § Work can be calculated by using the formula: § Work=Force x distance § Work is labeled in Joules (J)

Work Calculations § A 10 -N force is applied to push a block across a friction free surface for a displacement of 5. 0 m to the right

Work Calculations § An approximately 2 -kg object is sliding at constant acceleration of 2 m/s/s across a friction free surface for a displacement of 5 m to the right.

Forms of Energy § Mechanical § Radiant/ Light § Sound § Chemical § Heat/ Thermal § Electrical § Nuclear

What forms of Energy are in these?

Kinetic Energy…. let’s go! § https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=BGm. UVo. X 5 s 58 § Kinetic energy is the energy a moving object has because of its motion. It’s kinetic energy depends on mass and speed. § Kinetic energy: § Kinetic energy is labeled in Joules (J)

Calculations of K. E. § A jogger with a mass of 60 kg is moving at 2 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the jogger? § A ball with a mass of 2 kg is moving at 3 m/s. What is the balls kinetic energy?

Potential Energy § https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Tji 6 PDBck_8 § Stored energy due to position is called Potential Energy. This means that motionless objects can have energy! Energy is stored in the object. § http: //www. pinterest. com/pin/75998312437909650/ § Elastic potential energy-is energy stored by something that can stretch or compress. § Examples? § Chemical potential energy- is energy stored in chemical bonds. § Examples?

Calculate PE or GPE § Anything that can fall has gravitational potential energy, or GPE. § GPE is energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth’s surface. § The GPE depends on the objects mass and height above ground

Practice! § What is the GPE of a book that has a mass of 1 kg and is sitting on a shelf that is 2 m above the ground? § What is the GPE of a ball that has a mass of 5 kg and is stored 4 m above ground?

Energy Bar Charts

Energy Skatepark Sim § http: //phet. colorado. edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-parkbasics

Draw a Bar Energy Chart § A ball is dropped from rest from a bridge. As the ball falls through the air, it encounters a small amount of air resistance. The final state of the ball is the instant before it strikes the water.

What could this explain?

§ A baseball is caught by a catcher after passing over home plate. The initial state is the baseball moving at high speed just prior to hitting the catcher's mitt. The final state is the baseball just after the catcher has applied the force to stop the ball. Assume that the ball does not change height as the catcher is catching it.

Explanation § initially: § PEgrav - present (ball is elevated a little) § PEspring - absent (no springs) § KE - present (ball is moving) § § Finally: § PEgrav - present (ball is elevated a little) § PEspring - absent (no springs) § KE - absent (ball is stopped) § § Wext - present and negative (the catcher applies a force in a direction opposite the ball's motion)
