Science

FIRST MAIN TYPE

kinetic energy: energy of motion and uses units of Joules

-Energy is measures in Joules

-depends on speed

Sub Types:

Mechanical K.E. (Kinetic Energy)

-larger objects that move

Radiant Energy

-particles of light that move

Electric K.E.

-moving charged particles (usually electrons)

-moves through a conductor

Thermal / Heat Energy

-movement of atoms/molecules to transfer energy from one thing to another

(from Hot to Cold)

2ND MAIN TYPE

-Potential Energy (J)

• Stored Energy

• Stored for movement

• gravitational P.E. depends on height

• P.E. or E.P → Notation

-how does relate to previous material?

-how does it relate to the big picture?

Sub types

Chemical PE

-Energy found in any material that’s elastic and deformed

EX. stretched elastic band, bent bow, compressed spring or compressed rubber

Gravitational PE

-Energy as a result of its position above the ground

nuclear energy

Energy stored withinthe nucleus

electrical PE

energy in changed particles that are seperated from each other (EX. BATTERY)

magnetic PE

energy stored within the North and South Poles of a Magnet
