    What Are Kinetic and Potential Energy?

    Uploaded by

    SHEILA MARIE CORTADO - UNDAN
    Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and depends on an object's mass and velocity. Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, such as when a stretched rubber band or object at the top of a hill releases its stored energy and begins moving. The document discusses different forms of potential and kinetic energy through examples and definitions.

    What are Kinetic

    and
    Potential Energy?
    What is ENERGY?

    • Energy is the ability to do work.


    • Everything that happens in the world uses energy!
    • Most of the time we can’t see energy, but it is
    everywhere around us!
    Energy…
    • is NEVER created or destroyed!

    • can only be STORED or TRANFERRED.


    This car
    uses a
    lot of
    energy

    Batteries store energy!

    We get
    our
    Even this energy
    sleeping from
    puppy is FOOD!
    using
    stored
    energy.
    Remember:

    ALL matter is made up


    of particles.

    The particles NEVER


    stop moving.
    How is all energy divided?
    All

    Potential Kinetic
    Energy Energy

    Gravitation Elastic
    Potential Potential
    Energy Energy
    Potential Energy is…
    • The energy stored in an object.

    • "Potential" simply means the energy has the


    ability to do something useful later on.
    Examples of Potential Energy:
    A stretched rubber band..

    Water at the top of a waterfall..

    Yo–Yo held in your hand..

    A drawn Bow and Arrow…


    Which object has more potential energy?

    A
    ANSWER

    This brick has more mass than the feather;


    therefore more potential energy!
    Changing an objects’ height can change its
    potential energy.
    • If I want to drop an apple from the top of one of these
    three things, where will be the most potential energy?

    A
    C
    B
    ANSWER

    A
    • The higher the
    object, the more
    potential energy!
    Potential Energy Converted to Kinetic
    Energy…

    When stored energy begins to move,


    the object now transfers from
    potential energy into kinetic energy.

    Running
    Standing still
    Potential Energy Converted to
    Kinetic Energy…
    When stored energy begins to move,
    the object now transfers from potential
    energy into kinetic energy.

    Running
    Standing still
    Kinetic Energy Is…
    • The energy of a moving object.

    • "Kinetic" means movement!

    • When stored energy is being used up, it is


    making things move or happen.
    Kinetic Energy Definition and Formula

    • The energy an object has due to its motion

    Formula:
    KE = mv2
    Kinetic energy is calculated by:
    Squaring the velocity (v), multiply by the object’s mass (m),
    than divided by 2.
    • The faster the object
    moves, the more
    kinetic energy is
    produced.

    • The greater the mass and speed of an object,


    the more kinetic energy there will be.
    Examples of Kinetic Energy

    • Shooting a rubber band.

    • Water falling over the


    fall.

    • A Yo-Yo in motion.

    • Releasing the arrow from


    the bow.
    Examples of Kinetic Energy:
    • An object has the MOST kinetic energy when
    it’s movement is the GREATEST.

    • When an object has the LEAST potential


    energy, it has the MOST kinetic energy.
    BIG IDEAS

    • Energy is never created or destroyed. It is always


    stored or transferred.
    • 2 main types of energy: Kinetic and Potential
    • Kinetic energy is energy of motion and depends
    on mass and velocity.
    • Potential energy is stored energy
    • Potential energy has 2 types: Gravitational and
    Elastic
    • Gravitational potential energy depends on mass
    and height.
