Types of Energy

Energy
definition :able to cause change

Sentence: When I eat food I get energy

Potential energy

Definition: stored energy, ready to release

I used potential energy to get ready to jump.

Kinetic energy
Definition- When potential energy is released

- When I reached the top of the roller coaster I went down with kinetic energy
Mechanical energy
Definition- transferred energy

-I used the mechanic energy to hammer the nail

Energy Transfer
Something that transfers energy by bounce of each other
 work
Just like kinetic energy

I push the cart in the store

 Energy Transfer
Kinetic energy that dounce one thing and reflects it off onto another thing

Ex: The sun bounced off the window and hit me and i got so hot i could not breath
wave
Wave power is the transport of energy by wind waves.

Ex: the sound waves went in to my ears so I could hear.

 sound
Sound penetrates through the room and goes to you ears.

Ex: I Turned on music and the sound penetrated through the room.
Electric energy
Electric energy is used when you turn on a light from a light switch.
Energy transformation
● When energy is transformed into something else
 Chemical energy

● coal - combustion reaction converts chemical energy into light and heat.
● wood - combustion reaction converts chemical energy into light and heat.
● petroleum - can be burned to release light and heat or changed into another form of chemical
energy, such as gasoline
 Nuclear energy

● Sixteen countries depend on nuclear power for at least a quarter of their electricity.France gets around three-quarters
of its power from nuclear energy, while Belgium,Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland,
Slovenia and Ukraine get one-third or more.
 Renewable energy
● When you can’t run out of a resource
Nonrenewable energy
● When a resource can’t be made as fast as it being used
Law of conservation of energy

● The conservation of energy is a fundamental

concept of physics along with the
conservation of mass and the conservation of
momentum. Within some problem domain, the
amount of energy remains constant and
energy is neither created nor destroyed.
 Thermal energy
Thermal energy is an example of kinetic energy, as it is due to the motion of particles, with motion being the key. Thermal
energy results in an object or a system having a temperature that can be measured. Thermal energy can be transferred
from one object or system to another in the form of heat.
 Heat

I felt the heat from the fire while cooked

 Traveling heat
For many people, it’s not a summer vacation without scorching
temperatures and plenty of rays. But beware — those factors aren’t always
a good thing. In fact, overexposure to summer swelter can lead to a
malady known as heat exhaustion.
Just what is heat exhaustion? According to the Centers for Disease
Control, heat exhaustion “can develop after several days of exposure to
high temperatures and inadequate or unbalanced replacement of fluids.”
Once your body temperature rises above 101 degrees, you are in danger of
succumbing to the condition.
 Temperature
Temperature scales differ in two ways: the point chosen as zero degrees,
and the magnitudes of incremental units or degrees on the scale.
The Celsius scale (°C) is used for common temperature measurements in
most of the world. It is an empirical scale. It developed by a historical
progress, which led to its zero point 0°C being defined by the freezing
point of water, with additional degrees defined so that 100°C was the
boiling point of water, both at sea-level atmospheric pressure. Because of
the 100 degree interval, it is called a centigrade scale.[3]Since the
standardization of the kelvin in the International System of Units, it has
subsequently been redefined in terms of the equivalent fixing points on
the Kelvin scale, and so that a temperature increment of one degree
Celsius is the same as an increment of one kelvin, though they differ by an
additive offset of 273.15.
Radiant energy
Radiat is energy travelling through space. Sunshine is one of the most familiar forms of radiation. It delivers light, heat and suntans.
While enjoying and depending on it.
Insulator
a substance that does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.

noun: insulator; plural noun: insulators

"cotton is a poor insulator"

 Conduction
the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a
difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the
material.
convection
the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of
electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
Closed system
In nonrelativistic classical mechanics, a closed system is a physical system that doesn't exchange any matter with its
surroundings, and isn't subject to any force whose source is external to the system. Aclosed system in classical mechanics
would be considered an isolated system in thermodynamics.
Open system
An open system is defined as a “system in exchange of matter with its environment, presenting import and export, building-
up and breaking-down of its material components.” Closed systems, on the other hand, are held to be isolated from their
environment
