Understanding Energy: Kinetic and Potential

Learn about the different forms of energy - kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, dependent on mass and velocity. Potential energy is stored energy, like the energy when riding a bike uphill or with elastic objects. Gravitational potential energy depends on height and weight. Explore examples and concepts to grasp the essence of energy in everyday life.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Igniter 10/26 Define energy in your own words- write down examples of energy.

  2. Kinetic Energy

  3. What is it? • Energy of motion • Is dependent upon two things: • 1. Mass • 2. Velocity • Increases as mass increases • Increases as velocity increases

  4. What are some examples?

  5. Potential Energy

  6. What is potential energy? • Energy that is stored • When you ride your bike to the top of a hill and pause- you have kinetic energy!

  7. Elastic Potential Energy • What is it? • Potential energy that is associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed • Think of an example:

  8. Gravitational Potential Energy • What is it? • Potential energy that depends on height • The greater the weight of an object or the greater the height it is lifted; the greater the GPE • Example
