    The document discusses potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or state, like a raised hammer or coiled spring. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, like a moving car. As an object moves, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The formulas for gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are provided. Examples are given of situations involving potential and kinetic energy converting between each other.

    Potential and Kinetic Energy

    z
    Energy and Work

    Work is done when force moves through a distance.

    If no movement, then no work!


    Energy
    Energy is the capacity to do work.

    The unit of energy is J (Joule) which is also kg m2/s2 (kilogram meter squared per
    second squared).
    Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

    A hammer:

     when raised up has potential energy (the


    energy of position or state)

     when falling down has kinetic energy (the


    energy of motion)
    Potential energy (PE) is stored energy due to
    position or state

     a raised hammer has PE due to gravity.


     fuel and explosives have Chemical PE
     a coiled spring or a drawn bow also have PE due
    to their state
    Kinetic energy (KE) is energy of motion

    A moving car has a lot of kinetic energy


    From PE to KE

    These skydivers have potential energy due to


    being high up.
    After they jump this potential energy gets
    converted into kinetic energy (and heat) as they
    speed up.
    Gravitational Potential Energy
    When the PE is due to an objects height then:

    PE due to gravity = m g h
    Where:
     m is the objects mass (kg)
     g is the "gravitational field strength" of 9.8 m/s2 near the Earth's surface
     h is height (m)
    Kinetic Energy
    The formula is:
    KE = ½ m v2
    Where
     m is the object's mass (kg)
     v is the object's speed (m/s)
    Examples of Kinetic Energy

     Shooting a rubber band.

     Water falling over the fall.

     A Yo-Yo in motion.

     Releasing the arrow from


    the bow.
    z Potential vs. Kinetic:

    The Roller Coaster has


    potential energy at the
    top of the hill The rocket has potential energy
    when the fuel hasn’t been lit

    The rocket has Kinetic


    energy when it’s fuel is
    Wow! lit and it flies through the
    There’s a lot of air
    potential
    energy in this
    sucker!

    But it has Kinetic energy


    when it rolls down the hill!
    POTENTIAL
    z
    ENERGY

    Energy stored or held in readiness


    Most potential
    z Kinetic energy:

     Kinetic: Energy of movement


    This container is
    full of a red
    liquid
    But there is a hole!

    Gravity pulls the


    liquid down
    through
    the hole!

    The motion of the liquid is


    an example of a substance Ball falling down =
    with Kinetic Energy Movement
    Movement = Kinetic Energy
    z
    THE TRADE OFF Between
    Potential & Kinetic Energy
     As a
    basketball
    z
    player
    throws the
    ball into the
    air, various
    energy
    conversions
    take place.
